Hello folks,
I have had an interesting 12mths, to say the least! I have not been
involved in any audio work at all, let alone open source / Linux audio.
That, hopefully, is about to change.
I have quit the day gig and am now looking at setting up a studio,
instrument and amplifier repair, custom guitar shop...and muffins /
coffee / window washing (emphasis on what ever it takes to make rent
basically) business. I have the location in the Sierra foothills of Nth
California and will pick up the keys today. I'm excited to be getting
involved in music and audio again...it's been awhile.
Congratulations! I sure hope you have at least 4 years of operating expenses socked away
in cash. Most businesses that survive and succeed are more than adequately capitalized at
startup.
So, it's now time to get up to speed on what
I've missed! I'm eager to
catch up on the staples (Ardour, Jack, Muse, RG, Q{everything}) etc, and
hear about anything new. It's been about 10 months since I have paid any
attention at all to Linux audio so if anyone has the desire to do a
brief summary, it's appreciated. Beyond that, I will be poking around to
see what's changed and whats new.
Awesome. I don't know how much has changed, but a lot has matured. JACK in particular
seems a *lot* more stable and most apps are too, and a good deal more feature-full as
well.
Have fun out in the Gold Country. I'm in San Francisco, and was thinking of venturing
out that way over the summer, so if you're up and running I'll stop in and say
hi.
