I'm happy to report that Linux softsynths
have been used on a commercial
pop/rock CD called "Lawler Rules".
I did some studio work for them over the last year, and the CD is finally
out. They produced it on a Mac with ProTools. I played keyboards on it and
used exclusively Linux and Linux softsynths.

I think that the music is fine, and it certainly sounds great!
Thanks!
I used AMS for
the Moog and ZynAddSubFX for the synthy-string pad on
"Cocaine Cowboys", and PHASEX for the ARP-y plinks on "Death". AZR3
is
Hammond organ and Fluidsynth for piano on most of the songs, and Fluidsynth
is also the bass on "Big Groove".
Would you mind telling us what soundfonts you used with Fluidsynth?
I'm especially impressed by the bass on Big Groove.
Sure. The piano is the Steinway Grand soundfont, I think I paid $5 for it,
"TrachtmanSteinC_XFade2_2001Aug16.sf2". I don't remember what finger-picked
bass soundfont I used, it was probably either "fingered bass (sampletank).sf2"
or "bass - fender jazz bass.sf2", probably from HammerSound.
