Sorry, I sent this to Nitari Man instead of the list. It's also intended merely as an observation. Maybe you missed the link http://www.linuxsound.at/ I'll grant you that linux isn't as up to date as say a G6 or another mac recording outfit, but I'll take the classic linux approach, your not going to convince anyone to make anything new unless you use it. Ok, so you believe there is a host of pre-alpha software. That's common under linux. What would be wrong with plugging in and old turtle beach sound card and creating some serious sounds (and artifakts) with Csound, FFTW and TK-707? No, linux probably can't be your recording outfit... but it never will be unless you work with it. Here's an IDM list that prides themselves on being innovative and original atleast in their listening experience. So then at the same time they can turn around and buy windows XP for 800 bucks and support one of the worst software development firms on the planet? IDM comes from innovation, like playing a hamster cage (Matmos). I think using an unknown and unheard of software toolkit might fit that very mindset. Conrad D.
