I use Bose with Linux and it sounds great.
I don't understand why BOSE and Linux gets a bad RAP in this and other
groups? I've been using BOSE gear for years and have been very happy with it excepting the foam rot on my 802's which BOSE fixed for free. I run a Linux based studio around Ardour/Audacity/jack using VST plugins and everything works well. I am currently using a set of 802's as my mains. A set of 901's as my playback system. A Lifestyle kit as my "what does it sound like on consumer gear" kit and I have had no troubles translating great mixes to bigger studios. In fact the comments I get are along the lines of very nuetral sound that can easily be worked with. I'm running an old Alesis 1622 board with dbx 266's and some BBE gear. I tried an RNC but didn't like the way it colored the sound so I went back to the 266's. The entire studio is wired up with Monster cable and I am using an old Yang and Chung piano as a focal point for my acoustic artists. Honestly I can't understand why people hate BOSE because my clients are always praising how great my mixes sound on the Bose system. In fact just last night a trio was telling me they had never heard their tracking sound like that before! If that isn't a plug what is? My Linux system just keeps on ticking and when these Protools snobs come around I show them my Linux/Alesis/Yamaha Pro-02 systems and they just can't believe it and have said as much. So why does BOSE and Linux get such a bad hit around here? Heather Canfield |

Next time, I'd love to read a little about four track cassette tape being higher fidelity than digital, and your AKG C1000 sounding better than a U87. It would have been nice if the mixer was a Behringer Eurodesk too. |

Monitors that make -everything- sound good make it impossible to mix anything and know when something sounds bad. Please try trolling elsewhere. The fact that you have not posted and you are using the same IP address as the last troll is probably a bad sign. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Ah--but you haven't heard Bose and Linux at their best until you've
recorded an AKG C 1000 microphone through the ART Tube MP, and then routed the signal through Behringer electronics. --best regards P.S.: Bose is a person's last name, not an acronym; there's no reason to write it in ALL CAPS. P.P.S.: I like the years when April 1st comes a little early, as it seems to have in your messages. |

Linux-sourced sound only sounds good through a Bose when it was recorded with a C1000 and went through a 3630 at some stage. geoff |

So you didn't realise that BOSE stands for Bring Other Sound Equipment?

Just what is your background in sound recording? My Linux system just keeps on ticking and when these Protools snobs come around I show them my Linux/Alesis/Yamaha Pro-02 systems and they just can't believe it and have said as much. I believe they said that they could not believe it, but I do not believe that you actually understood what they meant. So why does BOSE and Linux get such a bad hit around here? I don't think either is getting a bad hit, but I do think that people are promoting them for tasks they are unsuited for. Bose has properties that can be useful in specific applications and the same applies to Linux.

Oh yeah baby...just spent the day at Rock Beach in White Rock, with that
yucky SSL 4000G, their stinky Radars, a pair of abysmal Dynaudio's, a rack full of **** poor Grace, Avalon, and GML. I was wondering from the moment I walked in, where is that Bose gear? Ah well...next time, I'm recording with you!! "Heather Canfield" wrote in message ... I don't understand why BOSE and Linux gets a bad RAP in this and other groups?
