[linux-audio-user] software for a live audio desk

[Greg Wilder]

I do lots of GNU/Linux based sound design for live theater and always build 
custom patches in PD to handle the needs of specific performances.  I've 
written extensively about it:

So, I echo what several others have already said - PD is probably the most 
flexible way to do this kind of work.  Interfaces can easily be designed to 
allow board operators to change various aspects of the show "on the fly" 
including the adjustment cue pacing to better fit the on-stage action.  What 
would we do without it?!?
