Many thanks for this, and especially for the transcription which saved me LOTS of time! I've sent you a donation.

Speaking of feature requests, I'd really like to see support for xenharmonic / nonstandard scales and non-traditional microtonal midi instruments.

Every Beat Of My Heart

This is the first part of a long interview with Paul Davis, founder and lead developer of Ardour, free/libre digital audio workstation.

We covered many subjects throught the interview: how much sense the source code freedom has for end-users vs. extensibility via scripts a-la Reaper, how happy Paul is with the outcome of the long Ardour rewrite, how well the project is doing financially, why Ardour continues dropping GTK for UI toolkit, and whether there's usability testing on the horizon for the project.
