Hi Rob, interesting thought.... > Maybe a lot of people making music with Linux are just making do because they can't afford the 2 or 3 grand involved in getting a decent Mac notebook and the commercial software required to make music at a level beyond GarageBand, but the truth is, much of the music I've heard here is pretty uncompromising. That's an important fact. The "problem/situation/whatever" is, that a lot of home recorders/semi-professionals use windows tools for free (no guess, it's true) though there aren't free at all. And therefore they compare quasi-free tools. Best example: photoshop. It's a silly habit. Some friends of mine compare photoshop with gimp, saying gimp sucks because it lacks of certain functions but they forget that there is a gap of at least 500€ from gimp to photoshop they wouldn't want to pay if they had to. That has nothing to do with people who compare tools on a basis where they posses or are ready to pay the amout for the commercial application.
