From a quick glance at the Table of Contents it seems, that the author unfortunatly only explored the similarities between "traditional" music making software as used in a recording studio, i.e. Multitrack recorders. What I personally would find interesting would be a comparison of instrument-like musik making software, that is, software that you can "play" like an instrument compared to "playing" a video game. Good gamers reach incredible levels of virtuosity with their controllers (mouse, gamepad etc.) that really compare to the virtuosity of, say, a pianist in some cases. Anyone knows any papers in this direction? Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__
