Linux audio applications ARE PROFESSIONAL!
What a bunch of elite snobs we have over in rec.audio.pro! Methinks
they are really afraid of Linux and are protecting their closed source platforms and thus ultimately their careers. I have used Linux to record many live marching band, community theater and church events and I have never had a problem. I use Ardour on an AMD 64 machine and use an RME Hammerfall interface. I have been able to record up to 16 tracks of live feed at once and have never even had Linux hiccup on me. I also have Sonar 4P on the system because my clients seems to want me to use that instead of Linux, which is fine as long as they understand that I have more lock ups with Windows in a day than I have had with Linux as long as I have been using Linux. Ardour is a very capable program and you can't beat Rosegarden for MIDI functions. I don't see anything in Sonar that I would want to do that I can't do with Linux. So let the elite keep blubbering on about their over priced snob appeal ProTools system all they want. The smart people are using Linux and in the process they have saved a fortune and are not locked into one system that is propriatory. Tell me, is Digidesign planning on offering Digi01 users the next upgrade or have they abandoned you in the name of progress just like they always do?. Someday, we will all be using Linux because it is far superior to Windows and Apple. So please stop spreading the myth/FUD that Linux isn't ready for professional work because clearly it is.

I think all of you need to calm down and understand that people are going to use what works for
them. The means to the production of the music is immaterial to the result because it is the results that actually matter. Arguing over such silly things as Linux vs. the rest of the planet is pointless. Let me hear the end product of your efforts. I'll wager nobody could tell the difference as to what system/software was being used, as long as care was taken throughout the whole production process to ensure noise was kept out, the mix was balanced and laid out properly, and any editing was seamless. As any of you can probably attest, I've heard great sounding music produced on supposedly crappy gear -- and I myself have recorded music on less than stellar equipment with great results -- and I've heard horrible sounding music produced in million dollar facilities with all the stuff that should have ensured a quality sound. Remember that, for the most part, it's the engineer not the gear, stupid, that creates a great sounding recording. And good musicianship makes it worth the work. --fletch Wolfgang wrote: What a bunch of elite snobs we have over in rec.audio.pro!

I think it is YOU who are trying to start trouble. I just posted my experiences and that's that. What kind of a nut are you anyway? http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...b08aaaf9?hl=en "For those new to COLA: Hans Kimm, Ku Karlovsky, YouCanToo, masked.slacker are all flatfish. This is an individual who spends *months* constructing new identities on Usenet and then has online conversations with himself. The give away is the kind of aliases he chooses. Recently he has run into a bit of a writers block. So in a gesture of magnanimity I'm going to help him out with his next alias." Wolfgang |

(SNIP satbility praise commments) Ardour is a very capable program That apparently is barely at ver 1.0 So? What? It's no good unless it's at version 3.1? How pathetic. [deletia] So please stop spreading the myth/FUD that Linux isn't ready for professional work because clearly it is. ONE application... One's all you need to disprove a negative, actually. JUST NOW being proven stable/capable enough to be considered... RELIABLE enough for a 24-7 big-money-responsibility working environment... trailing a years-long reputation as a new/home-brew/up-and-coming thing... Is NOT reason for it's acolytes to be screaming about how horrid it's being treated. Get over it. Use it Prove it Smile -- The best OS in the world is ultimately useless ||| if it is controlled by a Tramiel, Jobs or Gates. / | \ |

ONE application... This discussion has centered on Ardour to a great extent but that isn't the only audio app in Linux, not even the only great one. There are many apps and the whole thing needed to create a DAW includes more than just Ardour alone...Ardour itself needs other programs and libraries. Rosegarden for instance is another high profile Linux DAW application. JUST NOW being proven stable/capable enough to be considered... RELIABLE enough for a 24-7 big-money-responsibility working environment... Hmm...so it IS good enough for big time studio use or at least consideration for such. That is more than I and most of the other Linux users ever said. So I guess the argument is over now. |

Wolfgang poked his little head through the XP firewall and said:

Well according to this post you are flatfish and I suspect you are
several other people as well including hamilcar barca and Arkady Duntov as well. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...b08aaaf9?hl=en It really doesn't matter, but trolling the groups as flatfish is really not a good thing.

Someday, we will all be using Linux because it is far superior to
Windows and Apple. Apple is way better. But since you never used it, I guess you are doing a SCO fud thing. I also have Sonar 4P on the system because my clients seems to want me to use that instead of Linux. Now that is funny. My co-worker here is a sound man, and does large events, with his apple, and NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. As a matter of fact, they never ask him. And it is easier to do. Lots easier. So I guess you doing another SCO. |
