      HOW THE FUCK DID YOU MODERATE THAT DOWN SO QUICKLY?
      It was posted and on a refresh, it was moderated down as a troll. What kind of editor shenanigan bitchslaps did you use to mod that in 0.05 seconds?

    I hope they do something about the audio issues in Linux. When playing an mp3 is a frustrating, skipping nightmare on even high-end systems, something is wrong.

    Even a PentiumII 300Mhz running Windows has better audio capabilities than my P4 2.4Ghz running Linux.

    Maybe the new patches the kernel developers are comming up with will help?

    I didn't know you could have sound on a Linux box! I wonder if that means I can print too?

    But linux is becoming more popular, and like it or not getting close to taking over apple.

    This is not a Linux good Apple Bad argument but software (and hardware drivers) are usually only written for the top two OS's in the market.
    If Linux hits the #2 spot then their will be more games, profesional GUI based apps and media/consumer drivers for linux.

    Linux on the web has been #1 for quite some time, and already has reasonable support for serious hardware.

  7. Re:Linux is not good for PRO audio by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    You just said what I said, there is no good software capable of professional grade recording, editing, or sequencing for Linux. I recognize that Pro Tools has deficiencies in MIDI, but please, can you really say that a Linux setup can compete with a Pro Tools HD setup? You're an audio engineer, come on. Pro Tools 6 has far improved MIDI capabilites by the way. Hardware can't do it on it's own! I have been a whole lot of digital recording studios I can't name a single one that use Linux in any way. It's just not an option for a professional recording situation. I wish it was, but it's not.
