Collaboration should be based on sharing data, not requiring the use of the same program. I'd mention a program called AATranslator (http://www.aatranslator.com.au/) in this context. Its a windows program, though it will run in Wine on Linux and OS X. It will allow your collaborators to use whatever software they want on their platform of choice, and simply convert from one session file format to another. I have no stake in AAtranslator, but I am happy that an upcoming release will include support for Ardour. and yeah, it would be nice if this was open source etc, but seriously - this is an incredibly niche market and the work involved to reverse engineer these formats is substantial and ugly. --p _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
