You have to get the 3.0 branch of ardour from SVN. See this Ardour

That's exactly why I said "We wish"... Real studios don't come cheap,
but is always the ideal, isn't it?

I am a supporter of "real" music. Don't get me wrong. Sequenced MIDI
is not less real in terms of the music itself, but it it the magic of
live performance that makes music alive. I have a project studio that
records live acts only at this stage, and that involved artists that can
really sing, really play the instruments, and really enjoy what they are
doing. But this is only my personal preference. I do not have the
knack of composing great music, only the knack to make good music sound
great. And that is where my 64studio system comes in. It works for
me, and that is what is important to me, and why I freely advocate the
use of it to anyone that has ears, or can read.
Cheers,
Quentin
