I love the idea of FLOSS software, especially for creative work like music.
Most of the time I just do small pieces of music, to experiment and to test
the software. One of my dreams is to compose music and I hope I'll be able
to use Floss software then. I'm enthusiastic and idealistic about Floss
software, Bitwig is nice, but I miss the idealistic feeling comparing to
when I use NON :) Atm I try to focus on acoustic instruments, playing
(double)bass in two bands now and I realize that I've still a lot to learn
when it comes to music.
Reaper via Wine, is almost against my Floss & technical principles ... I
still believe in Floss software, if the devs could care more about the
finishing touch and fluent integration between tools which makes a product
really useful. I probably should blame myself for not giving up hope
already ;)
With Ardour3, NON, NSM, Carla, Radium, Supercollider, we should have enough
tools to be able to produce music with Floss software right? But yeah, the
difference is that a commercial tool like Bitwig gives you a more or less
'ready-to-go-product' whereas with Floss linuxaudio software you've to jump
from workaround to workaround. But I don't give up hope yet! :)
I'll give Reaper a shot, just to know what I can do with it.

Do yourself a favor and try out reaper. The worst that can happen is that
I learn something :-)
What I see is that NON and Carla are cool, but
non-sequencer not ready and not lineair
sequencing. Qtractor still lacks
JACK Midi and bus routing is strange, Ardour 3 is still a long long wait
for proper midi, that's all. :)
Then what are *you* using?
