This is the first "Worklog" video that is mostly production work, so I can post it. I've found making these worklog screencasts is a useful motivational and analysis tool.

This one shows what it's really like to start learning a new piece of software -- a lot of poking at things and having read manuals, search the web, etc.

I spend quite awhile trying to figure out how to "keyframe an effect", which is what it would be called in Kdenlive. But in Ardour, what I was looking for is how to control a "fader" (which is a type of "processor"), how to add a "plugin", and how to control it with "control points" on an "automation lane", which is edited using "automation mode 'touch'".
