I think it's actually an incredible accomplishment and love being part of it.

(Ron - speak up!) ;-) I know of several other pro audio users. All my commercial audio work is done using Ardour and JAMin. At the moment I've got three start to finish full albums, two mix and master albums and two albums for mastering in progress. I've got several four to six song demos in progress. I've probably produced start to finish two full albums, a half dozen start to finish demos and mastered a bunch of stuff. Within a week or two I expect another MPLS, MN Ardour user and I to begin equiping a truck for remote pro audio work and it will be a Linux Audio operation. > 2) # of Pro Audio users using Linux soft synths? > > 3) # of Pro Audio users using Linux as a command > line tool for > pre/post-processing of wave files? > > Depending on the task the use may be much larger (or > sadly smaller) > than thought... IMO, the number and quality of users and developers is obviously big enough to qualify Linux Audio as an up and coming contender. Someone else mentioned seeing new users on the list almost daily. I've noticed the same thing. We can keep doing exactly what we have been doing and in due time we will have and be everything we want. These are great times for us and unless I am being unrealistic I couldn't be happier. ron > - Mark > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
