think you *must* (it's always good) be very skillful to produce good
music, specially with modern tools. The ideas + the final sound are more
important and a good tool may help you to make them reality *more fast*.
and well, I must say I am a hobbyist musician so I admit I may be
totally wrong...
Today I wouldn't recommend hobbyists to use
Linux Audio because in
this way they will always be hobbyists...
Actually, hobbyists will always be hobbyists until they acquire
professional levels of skill *and* put themselves to the test of
performance and/or distribution of their material. The gear they use
will not elevate their skills one jot. Owning a guitar does not confer
ability upon the owner.
I will say this about modern music technology, regardless of platform:
It makes a lot of bad music sound much better at the surface level.
Good but it could be better (in other platforms is better).
However, in my case, I've found Linux Audio
very interesting to learn
a lot about the audio software implementation (obviously because of
the open source mentality) and also for understanding what kind of
things can be done (for a user/developper point of view). But for
productive work I simply can't recommend it because Pro Tools,
Reason,..., and a huge availability of VST plugins are too far from us.
Strange, I use VST plugins with Linux quite a lot here at Studio Dave.
Ardour seems to work pretty well for me too, and its price point is
more attractive to me. ;)
Best is to use what works for you to make your own music.
I completely agree.
You can also thank whatever gods you believe in that M$ didn't make
the WAV format as proprietary as the DOC format...
Best,
