Registering Is Recommended

You are not logged into the ardour.org website, and so any payment you make here will not be taken into account for support or future updates. It is recommended that you register with the website before downloading Ardour.

No "Download Managers" Please

Our download system will not operate properly with so-called "Download Managers" as used by some OS X (and Windows) users. Please do not attempt a download if you are using this sort of add-on tool for your browser.

The Importance of Paying Something

You are not required to pay anything for Ardour. But in general less than 3% of you do pay. That is why, for several months, the project has not even met its goal of paying just one full time developer a salary of US$54,000/yr. With the current level of financial support it is hard to justify continuing fulltime work on the project. So please consider paying something for your download.
