That must be why the Ardour3 pre-release notes say: "Many thanks are also due to Alex Stone and Dan MacDonald for their beyond-the-call-of-duty help testing MIDI and their numerous suggestions on workflow, UI and more." Ardour3 shows a heavy influence from your suggestions, even though its certainly true that not all of the ones that we liked have been implemented and that a few of your ideas clashed with other aspects of Ardour's design and so are unlikely to show up (though its not impossible). So that's 1 out of the "at least 3 projects" ... a case where your input had a major role in shaping things, and where we're actually and publically indebted to you for your insights and suggestions. I have no idea what the response from the other projects was. I was actually pretty mystified when you dropped out of #ardour, but assumed it was because you decided that ardour3 would either never or not-soon-enough have the workflow you wanted for OOM and/or were too busy with OOM. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
