What Boris said. Ardour is closer to ProTools, which most recording
professionals use. Audacity is pretty limited. If you're going to be
recording and editing multiple tracks, Ardour would be the way to go
IMO.<br>
<br>
The only thing I ever use Audacity for is converting audio from one
format to another. I have a program called Transcribe that slows
down and loops audio (great for learning guitar licks) but it only
likes mp3's. So I haven't encountered any problems with Audacity
related to alsa/jack/pulseaudio. I don't even know what
configuration of those it uses. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. As I
mentioned, with Ardour, I just selected the recommended alsa only
option, which is faster and trouble free.<br>

Not rub salt in wounds but my Fedora laptop works just fine
running audacity, systemd, and pulseaudio. I don't do much with
audacity but I do test with after updates (usually just major os
version upgrades).<br>

Is Ardour be a better choice for recording than
Audacity?<br>
