[edit] Naming
- The name Ardour is probably derived from the acronym ARDAW (A Realtime Digital Audio Workstation), which sounds like the phrase 'our DAW' - an oblique reference to the GPL, which in turn sounds like the word 'ardour'. The reference to 'realtime' is due to the way in which Ardour is designed.
Is this just speculation? If you cite an official source, then feel free to put this back in. --Avochelm 05:13, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- [1] says it comes from "HDR" (hard disk recorder) and their struggle to pronounce the acronym. The 'our DAW' retroactive etymology appears to be at least partially right. Not sure about the ARDAW thing though. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 17:29, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
