I'm still getting used to the "new" scene-based model (which is I guess actually pretty old at this point) but it seems mostly unavoidable now that Ardour has switched to it in v7. Though I also think there's a lot of space on the low end of simple sequencers that the tracker renaissance is starting to fill.


We haven't "switched to it" - it's an addition, not a replacement.

ProTools just announced their version too.

And yes, this model is roughly 20 years at this point (Ableton Live started at about the same as Ardour).


Sorry, "switch" was the wrong word there, and I absolutely love the clip launcher. It's just kind of like the difference between editing text in a dumb editor vs an IDE or something like slime; lowering the "cost" of trying stuff absolutely changes how you think about your music and what you do with it.


As long as your music is "in the box", yes. If you're a classical oud player, not so much.
