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. -- Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ "In the rhythm of music a secret is hidden; If I were to divulge it, it would overturn the world." -- Jelaleddin Rumi _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
