you can try all you want to 'fix it in the mix' but you can't polish a turd. If you can't play, no engineering on the planet will save you.
In your opinion, of course. My own opinion is that production and
arrangement are more important to the impact of a piece than the
skill of its players, with composition being the most important of
all. You'll say I'm wrong, and you will be wrong.
watch a high school shakespeare rendition sometime.
But neither of our opinions matter to people who are looking at Linux
audio tools and finding them lacking. Saying "That feature that I've
never heard of sucks, and if you use it, your style of music sucks"
doesn't come off as an indictment of commercialism so much as it
resembles sour grapes.
if you have to step input your music and rely on groove quant to make it sound
'real' you are speaking from a massive musical disadvantage. We've been making music
for tens of thousands of years, it seems to me you're the one blaming your tools.
If you're happy with Linux audio being as limited as a glorified tape
recorder, that's fine, but some of us have higher ambitions.
again, if you can't record music with a 'record' and 'stop' button. Nothing can really help you.
Can linux replace a windows or OSX rig that a schmuck can load up, slap some loops on, use factory presets on
their softsynths and press a magic button to fix their amateurish keyboard noodlings?
no
can linux be used to make music? yes
