Agreed. FWIW, this discussion should probably be on LAD... because a lot of the folks making big contributions to the thread are saying, "Ableton is really good. What could we *do* to get Linux audio that good?" But... I could see how on the LAU list people might get a little peevish at others setting up huge Rube Goldberg systems to try and emulate the functionality of an innovative and monolithic app like Live. I don't blame you. And: you're right. :-) Still, this thread is not idle chatter -- even when people talk about a few things that are a little over their head (because they're inspired). This sort of discussion is how apps like JACK get born. For anyone that's keeping score, we've started doing planning on the Hydrogen Dev list. Yes, the Hydrogen back-end is not up to it, yet. However, upgrading the back-end was *already* planned before we started this discussion. And who knows, when we get done we might sit back and say, "Hmmm... Hydrogen isn't right for this." But, ATM, some of us who know Hydrogen well think it could be a good fit.
