Leave it up to me to not think of the possibility of multiple formats.

That still leaves us with the fact that not all of the Acid loop
libraries will be usable with Alkali, at least not legally.
A loop library in OAL (Open Audio License)? I'd
love to contribute!
I would love to set this up. My programming experience is all in web
apps, so I can start a preliminary design, at the very least.
This site could also include things like patches for all of our various
softsynths, and maybe even a tips and tricks section. Any other
thoughts?
The basic problem is having the Alkali at hands (kudos
for the nice
name! :)
Or at least a modular set of tools (each one called
alkalium-something? :-P)
Thank you. It just seems right. :)
BTW, yesterday I noticed something on ACID... It was
the first time I
rendered
a song directly in mp3 with version 4. Ooops, they allow 20 free mp3
encodings then you have to register the encoder (I believe to
thomson?). Heh,
I'll stick to ogg with acid (and the rest of it too!)
At that point, I think I would just render to a straight wave and then
use LAME. But that's just me. :) Ogg is good, too, though.
