I just joined this list and figured I would introduce myself. I have been using Linux for ~10 years or more but never really for the purpose of audio work. I recently became reinterested in playing music and have since found that Linux audio has taken a few leaps since I started using it. I will probably be asking for help getting my midi keyboard working and such (I just bought the connectors and have never done this before), but for now I have already used Linux to record several "songs" with ardour, hydrogen, and jack. My soundclick site is http://www.soundclick.com/noahroberts/ I use Linux exclusively for everything but playing Tomb Raider and have for several years. Lately I have had to use Windows for printing out powertabs though; maybe that will change soon. -- Our enemies are innovative and resourceful - and so are we They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people - and neither do we. -- George W.
