ardour VS Matomo

> I think a lot of people starting with open source kinda expect that dedicated contributors will start to swarm around the project. In reality, a large majority of projects, even many quite prominent ones, are driven by a very small core, often just the project founder.

I'm the lead author of Ardour [0], and I'd very much like to hear more about your frustrations, since over the next 1-2 years, paying attention to non-European musical culture is one of the things I hope to focus on during development. You can reach me via the email address in my profile, or maybe use our forums at discourse.ardour.org. Thanks.

[0] https://ardour.org/ <= a cross-platform open source DAW that has been around for more than 23 years

One extra detail, something I've learned from 20 years of working on dragging all kinds of objects around the GUI of Ardour [0]: handle ALL button press and release events as drag events where there is no movement.

I am aware of the 'Real Tone Cable' however I am curious if this is what I should be buying if I also intend on recording my playing in a software such as 'Ardour'

If you don't care about exotica like async or signal safety, and just need to see the callstack from arbitray points, this can do the job without C++23:

(2 different implementations, one for POSIX-y systems with the execinfo.h header, and one for Windows)

The demange() function is elsewhere.

I just loaded an instance of samplv https://samplv1.sourceforge.io/ into the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), Ardour https://ardour.org/ .

If you produce music using a DAW, my preferred is Linux's Ardour: http://ardour.org

Ardour is a free DAW that recently added a clip launcher. I've never tried it.

Matomo just released their major v5 upgrade with following key improvements:

There are many good, lightweight, and open-source alternatives to Google Analytics, such as Plausible, Matomo, Fathom, Simple Analytics, and so on. Many of these options are open-source, and can be self-hosted.

You can for example use analytics that aren't spyware, and hence don't even have to try to trick users giving "consent" to things they don't really want.

Seriously: what share of people actually want their behavior to be tracked for ad companies to make more money?

Matomo is a GDPR-compliant and open-source analytics platform. You can either host it yourself or use Matomo’s hosted version. https://matomo.org/

I tried the self-hosted version of Matomo [1][2] a few years back but I remember it was a bit underwhelming for the effort required to set it up.

It seems like you just want a self hsoted google analytics. Theres Plausible , Matomo and Umami for that.
