[linux-audio-user] recording delay in Ardour...

[Ken Locarnini]

I think the strength of Reaktor is the resources in that central 
program.  Right now in Linux we have Pd which is probably the closet to 
it and a bunch of synths that are seperate and different from each 
other.  It seems we need a similar program in terms of functionality. 
 Ams is probably close, but its not multi-timbral, multi-channel, or is 
it.  Like it or not, Reaktor works but I wouldn't go back into that big 
money arena again if you gave me the money!
