Settings have been consistently divided into general settings and settings that only affect the current recording session. Various graphical interface modifications are designed to make working with Ardour more efficient, for example, the track and bus list now displays more information. The new version also offers a multitude of minor changes and improvements such as those for solo tracks or for the "Rhythm Ferret", the component that analyses the rhythm of a recording. The export feature has become more flexible as Ardour 3 is able to export multiple formats simultaneously and supports file formats with more than two audio channels. Ardour 3 can distribute the digital signal processing across multiple processor cores in parallel with users specifying a maximum number of cores that can be used for this purpose. This is designed to simplify the routing of signal pathways however, the old menu method is still available as well. The new matrix dialog presents the inputs and outputs of Ardour, of the user's hardware, and of other audio applications that use the JACK daemon. An overview of the MIDI-enabled multi-track recorder's capabilities is available on the project's feature page. The MIDI workflow is modelled after the audio workflow: notes played on a MIDI device can be recorded as separate tracks and then played back via a software synthesizer. Ardour supports instrument plugins in Steinberg's VST format, the AudioUnit format of Mac OS X, and the LV2 Linux standard, successor to the LADSPA format. Ardour 3's most important new feature is the multi-track recorder's comprehensive MIDI support and MIDI sequencing functionality.
