I was just basing that on the kind of music that seems to get posted

shortage of Pop 40 type singing voices?
Hmm, for me, "made on Linux" makes me
expect anything but the
usual commercial music. I don't think we have many musicians on the
list whose obsession is to make the same music that's already on
the Pop 40 lists. ;)
I think that's a rather bold assumption. To me, the reason for wanting to use Linux as the base
of the music
production process, are completely non-music related.
I use Linux and Linux applications for all of my creative processes -
photography, art, music, fiction, poetry. I like the flexibility and the
freedom from budget constraints. I don't support software monopolies
like Microsoft and Adobe, and hate the Apple's "walled garden" and
"patent lawyers on speed dial" approach. I tolerate the walled garden on
my Android tablet because I like some of the free software on it
(Caustic, Ensemble Composer, ArtFlow, Simplemind Free) and there's no
Linux tablet OS.
How about you?
