Re: renoise vs rosegarden

Well, it looks like Renoise is not open source and unless you pay for
a registration, has limitations for what you can do with it (like no
ASIO support in Windows). Reaper is also closed source, but there are
no limitations for personal use (you have to buy a license for
commercial use, about $300!).  Rosegarden and Qtractor are open source
and have no limitations on commercial use. And, IMHO, the cream of the
crop of all of these is Ardour, also open source.

Renoise also looks more like it is focused on sample editing and
looping rather than being a multi-track harddisk recorder & mixer,
which is what Rosegarden, Ardour and Qtractor are. Rosegarden also has
the benefit of being a notation editor in addition to audio & MIDI
recorder and editor. I haven't used QTractor so can't comment on it.
Reaper is a DAW along the lines of Ardour but doesn't run natively
under Linux (I think some people have gotten it to work under Wine).
Unfortunately Ardour does not yet have full support for MIDI recording
and editing, but that is coming soon and Ardour will rock even more
than it already rocks.
