Linux-Based Musical Keyboard Workstation Debuts

Henry G. writes "Lionstracs of Italy has released the Mediastation X-76 music workstation. It runs Red Hat and KDE 3.1. The base model features a 1.67 Ghz Athlon, 512MB RAM, 80GB HD, CDRW/DVD-ROM, 8.2" LCD, and a host of other things. Full specs can be found here and pictures can be found here. To this submitter, it looks more like a keyboardized computer than a computerized keyboard."

We sit in the car outside your house
I can feel the heat coming 'round
I go to put my arm around you
and you give me a look like I'm way out of bounds
well you let out one of your bored sighs
Well lately when I look into your eyes
I'm goin down

We get dressed up and we go out, baby, for the night
We come home early burning, burning in some fire fight
I'm sick and tired of you setting me up
Setting me up just to knock-a knock-a knock-a me down

I pull you close but when we kiss I can feel a doubt
I remember back when we started
My kisses used to turn you inside out
I used to drive you to work in the morning
Friday night I'd drive you all around
You used to love to drive me wild
But lately girl you get your kicks from just driving me down

Re:Music Open Source software

[Entropy248]

How is it possible to compare reasonably the "public test release" of Audacity to ProTools, an established industry standard? I was curious enough about open-source music to follow your badly typed link, and read that and immediately patted our studio Mac OS 9.3.3 running ProTools quietly, quickly, smoothly, and efficiently. ProTools can be $2000+ if you buy all the bells and whistles for the digital hardware. There is NO corresponding "open-source" hardware, almost by definition of capitalism no one will create one out of the goodness of their heart. Software costs almost nothing to create except time; hardware requires factories of some kind. Come back to me when you have some USB interfaces or support some standard ones so that I don't have to throw out my $2000+ equipment.
