I operate a recording studio for a living, we still use vaccum tubes and analog tape, as well as a G4/OSX Protools HD system. I meet large numbers of musicians. One thing I've noticed is that many musicians are intimidated by the perceived complexity of computer based DAW systems and apps like Logic or ProTools. For some reason some people would rather suffer through the poor UI offered by most powerful keyboard sequencers. I think Logic Audio has a friendlier UI than a Korg Triton or an MPC2000. My point here is that I think there is always a market for Korg's high end sequencing keyboards with touchscreen interfaces. All the guys that are hopelessly sick of their Tritons will buy them up quick, and probably never be aware that they are Linux users.

An extremely slanted statement with an almost laughable attempt to qualify it as balanced in the last line.
1 - yes you can.
2 - maybe not YOUR lame Grandma.
3 - Gnome?
4 - Nonsense, many consultants offer support.
5 - WTF?
6 - WTF?? don't be an idiot.
7 - Nonsense, it's as easy as Linux to install packages.
8 - More unsubstantiated nonsense.
9 - Also incorrect.
10 - I'm pretty sure this thread was spawned by a new distro of BSD..
Quit spewing Bullshite, do you kiss your mama with that mouth??
I have been working as a professional recording engineer for many years now,(since you only used the computer for 2-track editing and midi). Portable studios are in some sense to pro recording like warezed versions of photoshop are to graphic design. Suddenly everyone's an expert. The portable laptop studio has it's place.. It's great for overdubs at home/on the road etc, but the signal path suffers a bit(no matter how "pro" musicians friend says the focusrite pre's in the mbox are). the highest quality I have seen on portable audio interfaces is 24 bit 96 khz. Pro tools HD records up to 24 bit 192 khz. There is a notable difference, tho maybe not through $300 speakers. Also disk throughput on laptops is a MAJOR issue when trying to work with these higher sample/bit rates. My point is this: Just because the magazine or sales guy at guitar center tells you it's "professional" doesn't mean it is. For now I will stick with my NEVE,Neumann,MCI 2" etc..
Thats total sensationalism.. 20 over-paid "pop" producers may chalk up albums in China a year, but with the current price of professional and semi-professional digital recording gear you can bet 20 "professional-quality" albums a year is a gross understatement. So what exactly "professional-quality" album anyway? Talent? Technichal Specs? I have been trying to figure it out for some time.

Look at the language here:

Thats funny, I own three Macs with OS X and still use FreeBSD/Fluxbox on x86 as my primary desktop. Luckily, I am a communist freeloader as well..
Troll??!! No way! just giving the much overdo Drugstore Cowboy reference.. I fully support and use BSD..
