You're right that with Audacity you can't "preview" filters or adjust them =
in real time during playback. And Ardour does let you adjust filter paramet=
ers while you are listening.

Still, many people I know get by with the program especially because, when =
working on recordings from one or several similar locations, one can settle=
 on a couple filters that work well and just use them.

The other thing that I miss with  Audacity and really like about the more c=
omplicated Ardour is the ease of fading between two clips.

On the other hand, Audacity lets you edit while viewing sonograms.

Greetings from another Linux user!
