Pianotrq talking to the host, that it > should add Fons' EQ, with some settings that fit to Pianoteq? Pianoteq is only a parallel to demonstrate a principle. The finger pointing at the moon, or the moon ? I brought it up as a parallel that it creates sounds, it does not trigger existing samples (at least as far as I understand it works). The sounds do not exist until they are created. Likewise, the 'selection of effects' do not exist before it is created. With all the propension to put forth 'art' as an opposition to machines controlling expression of musical ideas, one would have thought that the difference between something that already exists and something that is about to be created would have been clear. And from this clarity, move on with the discussion. It is not. It is the finger. > The more useless features you add by gimmicks for the "color by > numbers" crowd, the more likely are bugs in the software's code. And now the quality of code.

Some, it seems, can get easily influenced to become lazy. Others do not. The finger, or the moon. To go back on track, for people who might be happening to only read this or a couple of messages before, the subject I brought up for discussion, was the concept of audio plugins, for mixing purposes, being able to network together to take decisions concerning a track, a stem, a master buss. As a related recent example in that direction, and although not implementing network communications between plugins, iZotope's Track Assistant/Neutron. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
