I don’t think OP’s link mentions it but iirc one of the major changes in Audacity 4.0 is supposed to be non-destructive editing. At least that’s what I think I remember hearing like a year or more ago.
Fwiw try out Reaper. Much easier and more professional than ardour, but unfortunately not open source. It supports a custom JavaScript system for making your own plugins on the fly, though, and is crazy powerful.
Audacity is fine but its operations are destructive. I’ve been trying to learn Ardour, but it’s a completely different beast…

Does anyone know if Audacity 4.0 allows for more recording tracks at a time? Last I tried, it could only record to a single stereo track at a time.
It already supports realtime audio plugins now, which are non-destructive.

Thanks for the advice
