Ardour
Recorder, editor, and mixer. Homepage says Ardour 9.8 is out, for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
The homepage says you can record, edit, and mix on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and that Ardour 9.8 is out. A date for 9.8 was not on that page. The download flow landed on the community download page, which also names those three systems. COPYING is GPL version 2.
Price is zero. Ardour’s own site is the link. The GitHub repository is a mirror and is not the homepage used here.
Price history
One check, from 22 Oct 2026. A later row is written only when a permitted price check says the number moved.

Blender compatibility
No row, because the source did not name one of the Blender versions this site tracks: 4.2, 4.5, 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2.
A “works” row means the vendor named that version, or a range that includes it. It is not a test run on this desk. Blender 5.2 is marked LTS because the Blender download page called v5.2.2 LTS. The date of that build was not on the page.
