What Ardour is really about is music. It is meant for people to produce tunes with. Dazzle people with your sense of melody, synth wizardry, songwriting, beautiful voice and gorgeous production (and make Ardour look good in the progress!).
It’s a good idea to include some information on how the song was made as well as the link to the song. People will be interested in where you recorded the live parts, which effects you used (in general - we’re not trying to steal your production secrets) and software you used: sequencers, synths, soundfonts, etc.
If you’re willing and able, why not post complete ardour sessions for others to study?

some ladspa & vst plugins, can’t remember right now which one.
All done in the bedroom, when wife & kids went out. Sometimes my daughter (8 years) did the recording = pushed the rec button in Ardour…
New mix will come sometime, since my friend recorded a new drum track for this song. In this one, there’s a drum track made with Hydrogen (ultra-acoustic kit with some extra samples)
I’ve been using ardour for a few different things. Primarily I’ve been using it for recording techno (multitracking from outboard gear). Slowly getting myself more into post automation rather than MIDI automation prior to recording.
Recently did track recording for a friends “heavy guitar groove” 2 piece (guitar and drams)… Pity I over compressed the toms. Used AM Pitch shifter on one of the guitar mics (Rode NT1 - nice) to double it an octave lower and it sounds awesome.

Apart from still getting to know ardour and experimenting with using it in the ‘traditional’ sense, I have used it the other day for mastering. It was good to line up the songs along the timeline, using gain automation to even out the levels between them, routing the whole thing into Jamin and then recording the Jamin output back into two separate tracks in ardour (which were obviously not routed to the master !). Worked well. It was also a breeze to put a song on two other tracks for seperate EQing. Haven’t done much editing with it yet.
Nice.

Hey Emillo!
That’s great work, you’re a really talented guy!
