I haven't read the article in question yet. I will when I've had more time. Last Friday 22 July 2005 18:49, Jan Depner was like: > ? ?

I haven't personally found Ardour to be unintuitive. Perhaps that's because I was a musician long before I discovered computers. > ? ? "If I can't use it, how is someone with no knowledge of audio > recording supposed to use it?" Aye well there's the rub. Personally I've watched people with no knowledge of audio recording or musical taste, but plenty of money rule the roost when it comes to the control of equipment and software. For the last twenty or so years. They can stuff off now. ;-) cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk
