I tried ardour again and it's too annoying I think I'll go back to renoise. (this song also sucks because I didn't spend much time on it)
the midi editing is straight up broken/bugged so I can't get a workflow for editing drums (midi message just stop firing, creating a unique version of a duplicate makes note events disappear). Also there's no way to record into existing clips so it looks like I can't play drums after the first recording, I have to use the mouse and manually write them. The mouse editing for midi blows, I especially hate it when I try to scroll but woops in the wrong mode and now I changed the velocity.
navigating around the track is also really annoying, there's something about the zooming and panning that's really frustrating. The zoom increments are huge and I get lost easily, there's no easy panning mode so I have to use various modifiers plus mousewheel to move horizontally, vertically, and zoom.
I wish I could make it work though, since there are some disadvantages to renoise that limit how I write. Also renoise has bad plugin support on linux (no lv2), so I've been using their stock DSPs for years and I kinda want to try new stuff.
Hoping ardour 6 fixes stuff
