I agree completely. Audacity or Rezound would be much better choices until
the system is well understood.

I found this interesting and maybe topical. Last night I built the latest
Ardour from a Gentoo ebuild. Turns out it's the only Jack program I've found
so far that requires me to be logged in as root to connect to the Jack
server. All the others (admittedly not that many) allow me to connect as a
user.

Assuming this is not just something strange about my setup, do you really
want a new user logged on as root learning Ardour? I wouldn't...

Just a thought.

- Mark
