Linux and audio pro 3816

Not yet. When it has the feature set people want, somewhere down the line but NOT YET, then I am 100 percent sure many professionals will jump on it, as they have Windows. Many people on rec.audio.pro will embrace it if and when they feel there is some advantage. People starting out will embrace it WHEN they can get the same feature set as an 800 dollar program for free, not a cracked version (like most windows DAWS are now) but a real piece of software that they can get some support for, and they will continue to use what they know if and when they become professionals.

So you can put ardour and a MIDI sequencer on a linux box and actually use a few pro soundcards? Run a few effects? Welcome to Cakewalk version seven. As I said, IF and WHEN the linux community delivers the goods, users will follow - not before then. That's how it is with every application, and harping about advantages that are abstract to 99.9 percent of users and should be transparent anyway will not change the way the market works.

So can you please stop beating this into the ground? Your just peeing off the people that you want to court. I've been a Linux advocate since kernal 1.0 and what we need is infinite patience.
