Linux and PROFESSIONAL AUDIO "I have no professional training
William Hung said it best.. I have no professional training. And at least he was honest, unlike the buttholes in the Linux world. Using Linux for even semi-pro work is a sure path toward disaster. I've tried Ardour and Jack and all the plugins (using Redhat) and quite frankly they suck. In fact Linux as a whole sucks.

Now take a good look at your Linux junk and work 24x7 to make it useable. Hans
