Something occured to me and thought I'd ask it here.
Just what are or would be the parameters for being able to claim that any
music was 'created' using linux?
I can understand that wave synthesis using c-sound or something similar would
definate qualify. But like in my case. I'm usually recording live musicians
in the studio through whatever gear is necessary and basically all I'm doing
in linux is editing (as if that was trivial~). The second most used linux
application I would use would be MIDI for creating any tracks that would work
for the recording. Usually I send them out of the linux box to a outboard
sound synth, through the mixing board onto a HD24 or ADAT or what have you
and then maybe load them back into the linux box for editing as a sound file.
Final mixing is usually done on my main board to either the linux box or
outboard gear and finally burned to CD using again, the linux box.
I realize that as I become more familiar with the tools available I could
reduce a lot of my transferring back and forth. But seldom has computer
peripherals or software been as reliable or of as high a quality as dedicated
hardware and customers are not usually inclined to wait while I figure out
how to do this. This group and the alsa group have been VERY benificial to me
in that respect and I Thank You all.
I should probably know better than to ask this and will understand if nobody
really wants to open such a generalistic non-technical almost philosophical
and definately relative 'can o'worms'.
Thanks,
Gary
