Hi Rob,
I'd make the observation that Ardour isn't quite free, at least if you
want to download a fully functional OSX build. There is an option to
download a free version that disables saving and/or loading for Audio
Unit presets. The download the page requests that you donate and
suggests $70.00US as a reasonable amount. You can get away with a
$1.00 donation but as the developers state on the download page:
--
The Importance of Paying Something
You are not required to pay anything for Ardour. But in general less
than 3% of you do pay. That is why, for several months, the project
has not even met its goal of paying just one full time developer a
salary of US$54,000/yr. With the current level of financial support it
is hard to justify continuing fulltime work on the project. So please
consider paying something for your download.
