I'm more inclined to post the links on LAM, and frequently go there to see what others are doing. On the one hand I think it's a pity there is no facility for making comments, but at the same time it results in a very clean site where you can quickly find what's there. Also, I like to get Linux Audio out to the 'others'. I am quite well known on the KVR music cafe and on Kara Moon. Both are very active forums (especially KVR) and you can get a lot of good ideas and suggestions there. Also the competitions are good for spurring you on to move outside your comfort zone. Although I like this dedicated LAU list, and have picked up a lot of useful info here, I think we should beware the risk of becoming elitist. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
