I bought it explicitly to make music. Made a ton of MIDI music with that setup for about 4 years, then bought an Apple Macintosh Classic with EZ-Vision. Quite a few years after that I got a PowerMac 7100 running DECK II and released a CD using that. I didn't do any music for many years (but plenty of Linux stuff) until 2006 when I bought a Mac Mini running Debian and then the year after I bought the ASUS laptop I've been recording and gigging with ever since. So that's the complete history. >> >> -ken >> _______________________________________________ >> Linux-audio-user mailing list >> Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user >> > > > > -- > .wmv , .wma , .pps along with all proprietary Windows formats won t be > accepted and/or viewed.... > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user > _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
