Just thought i'd had my bit to this: When i first joined this list, I hadn't been using linux for that long, a few months or something. I had a quick look at the audio apps available, and thought...."mmm, looks like it'll be a few years before i'd have a working linux-audio setup." I then came across a couple of problems that i didn't have the experience to solve quickly on my own - but the reponses i got on this list were great, and really quickly i was up and away - and was writing music for the first time in a year or two........ :=)
cheers, jordan.
