I don't remember him contributing anything significant and he won't be missed. Go to your EnergyXT and Renoise and be happy in Linux.
The anti-windows rant was just hilarious - I mean, man, nobody likes windows, even those who use it (like me), but it has the established software, drivers and a wide range of pro tools, as opposed to a limited pool of pro tools and a bunch of freeware. Most people don't buy computers for their operating systems, they buy them for the software content.
Ardour - they claim it is 'pro tools or cubase like'. Well, it is if all you need is a very basic tape recorder style audio recorder. It lacks support for VST or AU plugins, has no MIDI, and very few frills but it would be sufficient for some people in the way that Audacity or Kristal v1 can be for windows freeware.
I actually like Linux, but until it has 100% functional versions of the pro audio stuff I like to use, such as Live, Cubase, Soundforge, Vegas and the like, not pale shareware imitations, then it can never be considered for pro audio work. I do however Ubuntu installed on my harddrive as a backup in case windows goes tits up (as it has a couple of times) and it is nice for web browsing and email. But that's about it.

The point here is not OPEN SOURCE AUDIO PROGRAMS, only a OPEN SOURCE OS with COMERCIAL LINUX PRO AUDIO APPS LIKE LIVE.leedsquietman wrote:What I don't get is why the OP felt he needed to say goodbye.

because this type of thinking that we have 100456768234 new garbage tracks released every day on the net, this "musicians" running pirate windows, with apps like live simply forget totally the music concepts, they crop some samples(from existing music, of course) , put in clips on the session view, play clips randonly, save the work and say "OK, the track is GONE".xh9o wrote:Machinesworking wrote:They don't, t the main thing is better tools just help to write songs quicker, they can't write the song for you.
well i said: inspiring. inspiring means supporting, and thats quite the opposite of taking all over. but taking over as much beaurocracy mouseclick work as possible can´t be a bad thing. and thats where - the modular - live is million lightyears ahead those old fashioned - timelined - sequencers. maybe its the problem of todays music production whose products have become very lame and predictable (for those few who know a difference between music and tits video featured imitation), that too much is done that old way while times around have changed.
You get the point, my time to move to linux was 3 years ago, now I only have windows because LIVE, and searching for alternate solutions I cleared that I can do my music with others tools that SUPPORT LINUX TODAY and hope that abes can do it too in the future.Machinesworking wrote:
On the original subject, Linux is looking better every day for music. I hope Live eventually gets a Linux port. I'm planning on moving over to Linux some day, and it would be cool if Live and the Suite moved with me!
Yes!!!leedsquietman wrote:The advantages in the operating system are not really noticed by most users who just want to be able to use their DAW software and CAD programs or Microsoft Office (yes I know Open Office is good for free on Linux, but it doesn't have all the functionality).
I agree with you on pirated software too but there are people making music with legitimately purchased software on Windows too (as I am), as well as some kids and freeloaders ripping off bit torrent.
I hope Linux is more successful but having 6 zillion different distributions and not enough established, paid commercial software is what is holding it back. And of course, once that software starts to come, there will be people ripping it off on Linux too ...
The too much music out there argument is a fact but I don't see what this has to do with Linux. And yes, people can make better music on an old tape machine sometimes, and people can make bad music with cracks of Fruity Loops, but people can also make bad music with Ardour, Rosegarden or Renoise in Linux too
