Tres, I see that you are burned out as well :( DeRobyJ brings some very interesting issues on the table, and we should discuss them to understand our mission and if this is an issue for us. When I started using LMMS I had the same point of view as him, that's why I started contributing, to improve it. However as time passed and I learned more about synthesis and etc I remade my mind and saw how actually a lot of considered *Professional* DAWs are more like toys than LMMS itself. They attract people by having juicy, easy to use, beautiful GUIs out of the box. Few people that uses Ableton, ProTools, FL Studio, as a wannabe DJs will ever know how ZynAddSubFX is powerful for example, because they can simply buy a 3 figure VST that will do their wanted dubstep growl with a lot of presets. Anyway, we can use this opportunity to understand what LMMS's mission is: do we want to compete with the consumerist DAW market for wannabe DJs, or something more like QTractor which has really high quality but is not so easy to use? Or a mid-term? I'd vote for this one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
