Interesting to note how quickly things evolve in the Linux world. Stuff I wrote only a few months ago is already outdated by development trends. Keep up the good work, devs !<br>
<br>
Anyway, enjoy, and your comments are welcome.<br>

dp<br></blockquote><div><br>Clearly, there remains a lot of work to be done on documentation of the Non project to prevent people from vastly underestimating the extent of its capabilities. However, it always strikes me that, even though the present documentation is brief and to the point, no one ever seems to read it. I wonder what makes features so much less 'secret' and 'hidden' in projects like Ardour... Apparently spelling them out in the documentation still too secretive. I'm sure this sounds critical, but now I'm being perfectly serious: It's helpful to how and why people have trouble finding information. The best way to have your questions answered is to ask, and I'm always available. <br>
<br>One actual criticism, though: This is partly my fault to due the unfortunate difficulty of naming things, but it isn't fair at all to compare Non-DAW (the program) to Ardour or QTractor and to say that Non-DAW doesn't support plugins, etc. It's a modular system. The whole suite comprises a DAW, while you refer to one component. Non-DAW should really be named Non-Non-Linear-Audio-Arranger or something, but that's hardly a catchy name and there's not much I can do about it now.<br>
<br>Still, thanks for the mention! I didn't know these articles ever existed until now.<br></div></div><br>
