"Isn't it a disadvantage of such
all-in-one-daws that all music produced
with it sounds pretty similar to each other, everybody uses the same
samples and plugins. An creative advantage of modular linuxaudio could be
that you've a high level of creativity and uniqueness in your music."
I do not agree with the premise that because everybody uses the same
plugins it all sounds similar. As for samples, all-in-one DAW does not
force you to use any samples, rarely does a DAW come with decent samples
anyway. And same plugins can be used in a very different way.
Also, it is funny you say that. Doesn't every person here use same
stuff -
a couple of main synths and a limited set of plugins?
or maybe some record a cello ... again, very different sounds indeed
using the same 'limited' configuration of wood, strings, bow and mic ...
depending very much on the musician using it.
