Hello Kim,
Yes I know that article, which is very biased I think, but I was
referring to your article on CDM in which you state that for music
production on Linux one only needs ALSA (or FFADO for FireWire) and JACK.
Sorry Kim, I didn't want to sound patronizing :( There are people
working on making it easier to set this up, I've seen some mock-ups for
Ubuntu Studio and Filipe Coelho from KX Studio is working on something
similar too.
You mean that I for example don't know about the needs and desires of
potential Linux audio users?
Best,
Jeremy
I don't
really understand your criticism on those convoluted layers upon
layers.

read this to see how people outside this list view Linux audio
As for
tweaking conf
files, at the moment there are very few files you might have to tweak,
/etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf (or /etc/security/limits.conf) for the
necessary permissions, maybe /etc/systcl.conf for some performance gain
and /etc/fstab to add noatime to the necessary mounts.
yeah thanks, been there - done that -- sorry but that statement right
there is why most people working in music won't come anywhere near Linux
for production
Imho I think
you can add conservatism, sheer ignorance or simple denial
that stuff can be done with Linux;)
I'd say that 'simple denial'
exists on both sides of the issue ;)
