Pyramix vs Ardour

With a dual monitor setup, Pyramix fills the main monitor with the Project Window, and the secondary monitor with secondary editing tools, VSTs, or any other features that are run separately from the main interface.

When importing an audio clip, Pyramix adjusts the tempo using a built in sample-rate conversion facility so that the clip will sound ideal.

The fade editor and cross-fade editor is a feature in Pyramix that is difficult to find in other DAWs. This editor lets users apply different envelopes to fades. This creates interesting effects for ambient sounds or clips that have been split and should fade in/out slowly.

Pyramix keeps a log if which actions have taken place, so instead of seeing "undo action", users can see exactly which edits they are modifying.

Pyramix uses the audio engine MassCore, which allows the program to reach ultra low latencies.

Ardour is cross-platform and works on Windows & macOS.

Ardour is open source, so it can be downloaded and modified without restriction.

Unlike some other DAW's which often limit saving, exporting, or advanced features, Ardour permits you to try all the features for free, with the only limitation being ten minutes of project length maximum.

On Linux, you can use JACK to freely route audio and MIDI to and from other software as hardware.

You can view and edit plugins directly from the console's mixing channels.

Thanks to JACK support, and the inclusion of built in tools, the routing options of Ardour are limitless.
