The folks we'd be focused on are the PTLE people. They are primarily home/small studio users and most likely haven't spent thousands of dollars on licensed plugins. However they might be drawn to Linux audio as an alternative if they understood how rich the Open Source plugin library is. Has anyone ever done a plugin-by-plugin replacement guide for PT plugins showing what the most equivalent (or better) solution is in LV2, LADSPA, etc.? Might be an interesting web page to look at. Ardour has a page listing general groups: http://ardour.org/plugins but I haven't seen anything that attempts to A/B Waves plugins vs their most comparable LADSPA version, etc. - Mark _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
