i agree. thats not what i said. i think you can definitely produce good/interesting work with the currently available crop of linux audio s/w. i don't think you can produce certain kinds of work (easily or at all), and i also think that the learning curve to produce any kind of work is remarkably steep. >Having said all that, I really do look forward to having Ardour+JACK >running on Linux, because then we'll really have the best of all >possible worlds. (I really think that Linux is hands down already the >best platform for software synthesis and algorithmic composition.) i almost agree. the existence of tools like reaktor and the pulsar for s/w synthesis gives me some pause for thought. --p
