what if there's nobody to share it with or only a LAU mailinglist with
people using either Renoise, Bitwig, Mixbus or EnergyXT (<ironic mode />,
I'm exaggarating of course)?
Then it means that the free software experiment failed, and the
community wasn't able to produce contemporary software that resonates
with people's needs.
that's a bit painful to admit, but i share this attitude. if people want
ableton and itunes, well, we can't do it (yet). that's what ableton and
itunes is for.
at the same time, all the free audio software we have resonates with
_my_ needs just fine :)
(and it seems to do the same for alexandre, judging by his numerous
contributions...)
Linux audio is also a community with users and
there are quite a few of those users that mainly stick around because of
that community. It would be a shame if such users would abandon the
community.
The linux audio community currently lives its own life for the most
part, and doesn't make a terrible lot of PR for what it can do. Where
I live we call this "stewing in your own juice" (literal translation).
we have the same proverb in german. funny to hear it works in russian,
too :)
