I myself do have to admit that it seems to me most of the focus on Linux audio to be on recording bands and/or external hardware, and very little on the modern one-man studio. That's where things like the NI plug-ins shine. As an aside, the one Windows VST plug-in to come out recently that has me completely blown away is one called Olga: http://www.stillwellaudio.com/?page_id=37 It was written by one guy (with one other person doing the artwork), and demonstrates the value of modeling the non-linear aspects (saturation and distortion) of circuits. Check out the "When the TV Breaks" demo song, if you'd like. I'd like to pursue creating a single, really sweet soft-synth for Linux, but long-time posters to this list know my propensity for creating vaporware (I have a difficult time finishing projects I start), so I don't want to say too much. I'll just say I've been researching ways to emulate the non-linear characteristics of circuits and leave it at that for now. -- Darren _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
