SAE

The School of Audio Engineering (SAE) has announced that it will become a corporate sponsor of Ardour, an open source digital audio workstation project. The sponsorship ensures continual development of Ardour as a free, community-based audio recording and production software.

Ardour has previously received corporate support from Solid State Logic and Harrison, but has primarily relied on donations from the public and the dedication of creator Paul Davis.

This new initiative will support the further development of Ardour to become a viable DAW alternative for home and professional studio users, freely available to anyone. Development aims include a more integrated experience on Mac OS X. A separate version is intended to be developed which will be tailored towards beginner students, whilst also being available to anyone and staying compatible with the main branch of Ardour. Read more…
