I don't mean to pester, but this is my first serious attempt at creating a 
DAW in Linux, after years of recording in Windows.
Is there any good DAW's for Dummies type book I could check out? From what I 
can tell, Rosegarden is not to difficult for anyone familiar with Cubase, 
Sonar or Logic...but without the capacity to run Virtual Synths, it's mostly 
of no use to me.
Thx for your patience. If I can get this sorted I'll be up to speed in no 
time (i hope).
 From what I can tell in the /usr/lib/dssi folder...the dssi virtual synth 
format had a .so "library" file and a folder containing the virtual 
synth-extension something like _qt. What do I use to convert my .dll files 
to this format?
Is this what happens? and is this how Rosegarden identifies these files as 
synths (as it now does with the "trivials")? 

Thanks
