usually it means to leech a thousand instruments/plugins from the 
internet, fiddling around for them for some time, getting bored, having 
no real idea of what you want your *artistic creation* to be, thinking 
that the coolest compressor, not practising over and over, will give you 
a good voice, thinking that the latest guitar FX will make your crappy 
guitar playing gorgeous...
All of this in 90 % cases to come up with a '4 chord song' which is just 
the remake of all other 4-chord songs out there. the cycle repeats.

What do you think sucks about Linux audio?
That we are too much concerned about what software we have, what it does 
and what features it has with respect to 'the-latest-marketteer-thingy' 
people using and Apple use... Not with musical ideas, philosophical doubts,

Because come on, we can't hide under a stone, seriously, to make music, 
you need Mac, it's as simple as that: you don't need musical talent, 
creative ideas, passion, will to work and practice hard, experience etc. 
etc.... you just need to invest in a bloody mac. and you'll magically 
become a 'musician' - a star! It happens on TV why can't it happen in 
real life?

That's what we need in Linux Audio!
Magic software which will make John Doe into Freddy Mercury - instantly,
