Hmm, for me, "made on Linux" makes me expect anything but the usual 
commercial music. I don't think we have many musicians on the list whose 
obsession is to make the same music that's already on the Pop 40 lists. ;)

I think choosing to use Linux brings with it a different attitude, a 
determined independence, that someone who chooses Windows or OS X might 
not have. There might be more Linux users interested in making their own 
music hardware, such as building things with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. 
There may also be more of an interest in the low-level parts of sound 
making, vs a Windows musician who just listens through sample libraries 
until they find a sample they want to use.

But I also think, "Does it really matter which brand of hammer or saw 
was used to build this house?" It's the result that matters, right?

My brother-in-law's a contractor and carpenter. He has a truckful of 
professional-calibre tools for his work. I have only a small toolbox and 
a handsaw. While I certainly couldn't build a house the way he can, I 
can learn from him how to make professional-looking bookshelves using 
what I have.

I am interested in how people on the list get to the sounds they build, 
because I like to learn how to make them, too. Even if their process 
included something on Windows/Mac, I've always been more inclined 
toward, "That's a great [sound|image] you came up with, how'd you do 
it?" Then I try to figure out how to do it with the tools I have.

A bummer - but you have the links in your sig. And thanks for the 
patches, too! :)

Rah rah sis boom bah! Pip pip hurrah! I don't know any Danish cheers, so 
you'll just have to insert your own cheer to make it three cheers.

Happy music making, all!
