Thanks Vincent. Your reply is appreciated.
However I have been involved in the ardour lists for over 2 years. I have spent much time reading about potential problems and responded to all those that have had the courtesy to respond. I have also learnt and spent much time investigating problems that have nothing to do with the production of music.. simply to try and help developers iron out problems.. Credit goes to some who have especially Takashi Iwai, Robert Jonsson, Tommi Ilmonen and a few others. If you look back into archives a couple of years back alot of development into inclusion of MIDI sync was added to some softwares (especially MusE) to accomodate users like myself who depend on this sync to make software compatible with real studios. BUT. In the last few weeks I have spent much time into trying to configure and compile ardour (the potentially greatest audio recording software available to us) but all my responses after I sent an opinion to the string "ahem" concerning Steinberg having produced (but not released) versions of their commercial softwares under our much loved platform, have been completely ignored.. except this one.. My responses have not been ignorant nor lacking in information. As I mentioned I have spent much time learning about the Linux platform and contributing when I can ... My annoyance is when it was asked of me to provdie more information and I did .. no response came.. then when I tried to resolve it myself and no further response came that's when I could only put 2 & 2 together and see that a response I made to the string "ahem" could have been related cheers Allan On Thu, 2003-02-13 at 00:50, Vincent Touquet wrote: > I'm not a "real coder" either (so one might argue I shouldn't be on > linux-audio-dev, but I'm just interested in the discussions), so I think > I understand the root cause of your grief. > > I think if (if) the Ardour developers are _expecting_ quality feedback > from normal users (not just programmers) at this stage, they should > provide tarballs of the stable CVS snapshots they want to be tested. > > But maybe they want to wait for 1.0 before letting endusers test it? > In that case, maybe you tried to use it too early in its development ? > I think they honestly appreciate your effort to participate, there > should be no doubt about that, but maybe Ardour is still changing too > rapidly for you to be able to track it. > > I think only the developers of Ardour can clear out this question. > > best regards, > Vincent
