statements like this are meaningless without clear qualifiers. feel
free to say "for the kind of audio/music composition that I do, and
the workflow that i use, i find an integrated environment more
effective". please don't try to make blanket statements about the way
that people use tools.
But I also have a suggestion.
Is it possible to create an integrated environment based on modules? That
is, an app which would have "plugins", but not plugins in a
sense like effects and synths only, but plugins as elements of the sequencer
itself, like piano roll, song editor, such stuff. A person opens this app
and starts adding elements he needs to it. For a particular project he might
not need a piano roll, he might need only audio track arranger,
for another projects he takes an audio track arranger and also adds a piano
roll.
Modules of such an app could be very different, like a loop player like
Kluppe, etc - all the apps linux audio has to this day but remade as modules
to an integrated sequencer.
What do you think?
i think you are new to linux audio. i also think that like most users
of software, you don't actually know what you want or need - this is
not a slam or a negative criticism, just a fact of life. it wouldn't
be a problem if developers like me knew what you wanted or needed too,
but alas, neither do we.
