I think an important aspect is if you see you self ready to deliver as a one-developer company. Renoise is developed by a group of developers, and came from (some kind of) opensource that got serious/commercial at one point. EnergyXT started as a single developer, closed source project, and has now evolved into a company with more than one person. Renoise development is going well, users are happy, the application is stable and a logical roadmap is laid out based on input from users (including polls). EnergyXT development is a mess. The application is not very stable, users are flaming the developers at the forum for not listening, and many users are switching away. I bought both, so for me it's not about the money (what is 50 euros, anyways?), but I think you'd have an easier time with an opensource application, especially if you manage to build a development team and a user base over time. -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk http://virb.com/atte _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
