I dreamt that dream 20 years ago, and while the oss software ecosystem has since vastly improved it still was not fitting the bill for me. I started to use a commercial midi daw which was included with a hardware mixer i bought, and soon after ditched most software altogether in favour of real (DIY and off-the-shelf) hardware. I still use pure data though. Bitwig looks interesting and i might give it a shot again when i won't have to code javascript to get my hardware connected. > Reaper via Wine, is almost against my Floss & technical principles ...

But I don't give up hope yet! :) the hope is still there, but being a diehard open source advocate was not very helpful to get me going musically. my 2cts, Tee _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
