AFAHCT Tracktion is based on his own cross-platform C++ framework, named JUCE (http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/juce/). Yes cross-platform only between win32 and macosx, atm. However, quoted from the JUCE's to-do-list (http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/juce/todo.html): - get the Linux port up and running.. So, given that JUCE is being released under the GPL, and if some of the LADs are willing to help, things could just happen sooner than later ;) I mean, having a Linux native Trackion port (hopefully with ALSA and JACK support). Tracktion is closed-source however, with commercial rights owned by Mackie. Or so I think. I guess the linux port will be also closed-source. But I would rather buy it, instead of running it under the nasty effects of wine ;) OK. My idea is first probing you LAUs/LADs, my self included, if it makes any sense on lobbying for the Trackion linux port. Second, our X/ALSA/JACK expertise (!) could be offered towards a early JUCE port and help Jules|Mackie in delivering a linux beta product in no time.
