    I still have the free version 6, which is apparently not great for MIDI, though that’s all I do with it at the moment.Doeas Ardour 7 have better MIDI support? Might consider paying the small price…

      MIDI definitely got better with 7.x, and I think 7.5 is supposed to have finished the refactoring they did on the tempo maps. Before, it was common for a note to not play if started exactly at the beginning of the bar, you had to nudge it a little bit.

      What OS are you using?

          Yeah, you can install from the package manager and later donate if you find it useful!

            My package manager only shows version 6, am I missing a repository or something?

              Huh, that’s weird, 7.x has been out for a long time.

              How are you trying to install? From the terminal you can do something like this:

              apt update
              apt install ardour

                I usually use synaptic. On Ardours page the newest version can only be downloaded with an account and donation (which I will do today).

                Now I see why. I’m using Ubuntu Studio 22.04, which will only have Ardour 6.x in the repositories.
