What are the "Pro's" saying and doing? I guess the term "pro" is someone who 
makes money with what they produce, or is it the standards they adhere to? I 
personally prefer the "high standard" definition. The history of musicianship 
from all points on the globe is filled with the simple fact that musicians 
probably spend more hours on tuning, tinkering, improvising than on playing. 
To me it makes perfect sense that the "digital device", the new noise maker, 
be fully in the hands of the musician to continue their historical tuning, 
tinkering and improvising. And of course there are those musicians who leave 
the tuning to someone else. Open source certainly seems to fit the time 
honored profile whereas the locked proprietary code does not.

to be down. This is a site dedicated to { $ } professional audio. They have a 
very pro Linux article.
