Ardour 5.5 comes exactly two months after the 5.4 release, and it’s now considered the most stable and advanced version, further sustaining its position as a mature Digital Audio Workstation application that can be successfully used for amateur and professional music making. Prominent features of Ardour 5.5 include support for Virtual Studio Technology (VST) 2.4 plugins on the macOS platform, support for Steinberg CC121 Control, Artist Mix Control, and Avid Artist Control surfaces, the ability for MIDI input to follow MIDI track selection, as well as improved Open Sound Control (OSC) and scripting support.
