Ardour v9.0.0 [WiN]
P2P | 13 February 2026 | 84.7 MB
Ardour's source code is free, but the precompiled, ready-to-use program requires payment.
Quoted from Ardour's FAQ page:
"You are free to do anything with it that you want (including use it on as many machines as you wish, make copies of it for friends)."
Based on that statement, I can only assume it's perfectly legal to share it here since we're all friends, right?
But still, please consider supporting the developer if you decide to use it.

Record, Edit, and Mix.
Ardour is an open source, collaborative effort of a worldwide team including musicians, programmers, and professional recording engineers. Development is transparent - anyone can watch our work as it happens. Like a good piece of vintage hardware, you can open the box and look inside. Of course, you don't have to … but one day the fact that anybody can will be useful.
