That's precisely my point I was saying earlier. :-) If I were doing
more loop-based music, I'd be all over something like Live (or some
Linux approximation), but I am doing progressive heavy metal and
orchestral/symphonic music, so Live (or some Linux approximation)
would not work so well doing that. Not saying that kind of music
*can't* be done using something like Live, it's just not really suited
for it (at least going by what I read on the website), whereas
traditional DAW & sequencer apps work very well for that.
