Primarily, when I was first shopping for audio programs for Linux, Ardour was the easiest to get running. I think this is mostly because the author of Ardour happens to also be the author of jack, and because he knows both program interfaces inside and out, Ardour seemed to always "just work" for me, whereas other programs took some time just to get working with few issues. For most of what you need to do in Ardour, you can treat it exactly like an analog mixer with integrated tape machine transport remote. Even automation is fairly straightforward if you've ever played around with Sonar or Cubase. I think it's only when you start getting into the more advanced features that you'll need to start digging into the docs. Mixing is infinitely easier in Ardour, due to its dedication to audio only and closer approximation to a mixer -- Check out the website I've been cobbling together.
