[LAU] A year of Linux Audio revisited - would like to know your oppinion

[bradley newton haug]

you can try all you want to 'fix it in the mix' but you can't polish a
turd.  If you can't play, no engineering on the planet will save you.

In your opinion, of course.  My own opinion is that production and

if you have to step input your music and rely on groove quant to make it
sound
'real' you are speaking from a massive musical disadvantage.  We've been
making music
for tens of thousands of years, it seems to me you're the one blaming your
tools.

again, if you can't record music with a 'record' and 'stop' button.  Nothing
can really help you.

Can linux replace a windows or OSX rig that a schmuck can load up, slap some
loops on, use factory presets on
their softsynths and press a magic button to fix their amateurish keyboard
noodlings?

no

can linux be used to make music?  yes
