[linux-audio-user] Dedicated Digital Audio Workstation

[Jimmie Houchin]

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the reply.

I started researching Demudi. Looks interesting. It seems that they are 
still having network problems. It also seems like Agnula is also.

Demudi looks like a good foundation and what I am looking for.

Thanks again.
