HI
I'm so glad I didnt get into the Soanr/windows stuff so much!!

As for VST's I dindt realy use all that many and Ardour seems to have 
rooms full of effects.
It just a matter of learning a few really nice ones and changing them to 
suit.
Some of the vst eq's were nice but there are more on Linux.

I actually forgot that my HDa has XP on it, wonder if it will still boot 
up???
It's only there for the bits of video to sound I do, and I get the 
feeling thats being worked on now
in Linux!!

Cheers
Bob
