I'll keep testing Linux and their audio applications and if I have an opportunity I'll try to help to improve them... Open source is an exciting idea but I don't like by now how *some* hackers work and I think I can understand why most of the nowadays'companies don't invest in this operating system. Today I wouldn't recommend hobbyists should use Linux Audio because in this way they will always be hobbyists... However, in my case, I've found Linux Audio very interesting to learn a lot about the audio software implementation (obviously because of the open source mentality) and also for understanding what kind of things can be done (for a user/developper point of view). But for productive work I simply can't recommend it because Pro Tools, Reason,..., and a huge availability of VST plugins are too far from us. By now lets wait for the ardour and jack 1.0 release and for a stable 2.6 low-latency hardware compatible kernel... > > >>even if for experimental sounds >>Linux may be great. >> >> > >It's also great for conventional sounds. > > >Best regards > > > ce > > > > > >
