Decent piece. Ardour is a monster. Easilly the most powerful audio suite I've seen. Audacity is a great, light app for simple, yet powerful editing. I use it to edit podcasts and plan to try it for ripping vinyl. Never used SND, but it looks insane, yet nifty.
Cool, I use most of those tools to record my (crappy) guitar sessions. Ardour is very very nifty, and audacity is damn useful. I'm not a fan of macs or windows, so I can't use any of the more popular audio tools (cakewalk, power tools, cubase, whatever), but that's no loss to me :^)Haven't used SND, yet.

Yeah Audacity rocks. I believe you can get it for windows too.

Not mentioned is another app I discovered while googling for ardour tutorials.... Hydrogen - <a class="user" href="http://www.hydrogen-music.org">http://www.hydrogen-music.org</a>BTW, OS X users will be happy to know that most linux audio apps have os x binaries. The only exception I found was Rosegarden.
