No, but then I've not tried either. Realistically, I'd expect the service level to be very different. For US $0.1m I'd expect a lot of hand holding. > I actually HAVE developed my own rig. Me too. It's clearly not aimed at either of us. > Reminds me of that old saying, "Linux is only free if your time > isn't worth anything"... I think that's a slogan used by Microsoft, which either belittles or ignores the other meaning of free. All solutions cost something, but there are plenty of people who are relatively time rich and cash poor, most musicians included. I have no idea whether the Lionstracs business model will succeed, but what the pricing of the Mediastation suggests to me is that specialist Linux audio companies might be better of dealing direct with their end users than via middlemen and retailers. The conventional 'channel' is designed for conventional products, and as we know free software is not just another product. Cheers Daniel
