I see your point. The difference is that I only use MIDI instruments for certain specific things, where I write the parts on the piano and/or paper enter them in the computer and make a few small edits. But with a specific instrument that I like and don't have to tweak. Whereas the effects and mixes and montages I all do with raw audio. So I never missed the kind of global sessioning because I don't use MIDI that way. > > Despite your comment about the 'mega-application', both Rosegarden and > Ardour aim to be such things, but dont, at the current time, appear to > do anything that the 2 apps you mentioned cant. besides interconnecting with about all other linux audio apps. Which was my point. I have nothing against applications that can do a lot, but I don't like applications that are islands. cheers Gerard
