Thanks
again for your work on Specimen. It continues to be
one of the very few "Linux audio" programs that I actually
find useful.
waht about all the other applications around? Do you not need
them or is it too difficult to use them?
There are several very useful programs, so I wonder why only
Specimen (cool app, BTW) appears useful to you. What about
Ardour, Zyn, MusE, Rosegarden, ...?
I think I can see what Dave is saying.
It's not like Specimen is extraordinary (but it is extraordinary) and
the rest are crap (they're definitely not crap). It's just that for a
certain type of tasks it's pretty much the best kid on the block:
analytically playing one sample only.
Yeah, I didn't feel that Dave was slagging any other applications. Maybe using
a rather narrow definition of 'useful'. If I want to use samples, I'm going
to look at specimen first. If specimen doesn't do what I want, then I might
consider using one of the more complex applications. I think Pete deserves
some kudos for his work and this should not be seen as any slight on the
great work going on in other departments.
