They produced it on a Mac with ProTools.

AZR3 is Hammond organ and Fluidsynth for piano on most of the songs, and Fluidsynth is also the bass on "Big Groove". > > > > If you like commercial classic rock, enjoy.

It's working out rather well so far. I can run a couple Fluidsynths, an ecasound with a couple LADSPA plugins, and some other utilities, with no problems. Exactly what I wanted. I also experimented with ecasound on it for doing some scratch ideas, and it works. I also loaded Ardour on it, but Ardour is DOA on the EEE: the dialog boxes so frickin big that they don't fit in the EEE's small screen. But the EEE is perfect as a low-power, light, highly portable softsynth. I've used it for some outdoor street music, and it's fantastic for that. Also very convenient for rehearsals and should be helpful for casual gigs too. -ken _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
