I want to know
what makes you spend the time you do on this stuff so guys like me
can pilfer
legally and freely your hard works and then subsequently
bitch at random about how it doesn't work! :) One of the
reasons that I started working on JAMin with Steve,
Jack,
et al is that I was using Ardour. I had tried to contribute to Ardour
at first but it was too far along in development for me to jump in and
easily get acclimated. I didn't have the time to spend to get up to
speed. I felt that I owed something back to the community (and Paul
in particular) for the work that had gone in to the applications that
I was able to "pilfer legally and freely". As far as playing nicely
together is concerned, that's why we used JACK. JAMin was actually
designed to be the mastering backend to Ardour. I have to admit that
once I got started working on JAMin it was a hell of a lot of fun ;-)
It seems to me that some of the best ideas come from those who "bitch
at random".
JAMin is a good example. I'm really impressed with the way it was
developed collaboratively, starting from a discussion here & on LAD
AFAIU. I like the fact that it's not a drop-in replacement for anything
I've ever seen before (my experience of music software outside Linux is
limited) I like what it does, the way it does it and I LOVE the way it
looks. In fact, the only thing I don't like is its heavy use of
resources on this machine, but I suspect that's a direct result of the
sort of processing involved and I'm not expecting that to change. Soon
I will own a computer that was made this century. Describing yourselves
as those who "bitch at random" is
self-deprecating to say the least. I'd like to see more projects happen
this way.
