We have a talented mixing engineer in our midst that has fallen on some hard times and been unable to find employment in this crappy economy. He is a Linux user and a long-standing member of our community. He&#39;s been wanting to do set up a rig at home so he can mix people&#39;s music for a fee. To help him get up and running I&#39;m taking collections to build him a computer and set it up properly for using Ardour and the rest of the wonderful apps we have at our disposal and then send it on to him. I&#39;m pretty sure I can set him up nicely for sub $300. I just don&#39;t have enough cash to pay it out of my own pocket. So if you are interested in helping a great guy become a productive member of our community then please help out by kicking in a few bucks. He&#39;s requested that we don&#39;t send him money directly because he would probably spend it on rent right now. So if you could Paypal me at <a href="mailto:PipeManMusic@gmail.com">PipeManMusic@gmail.com</a> or use the Paypal link on <a href="http://opensourcemusician.libsyn.com">http://opensourcemusician.libsyn.com</a> I would appreciate it.<br>
<br>Also, if you all ready have a capable machine you could donate to the cause that would be welcome too, however, please keep in mind I&#39;m trying to set him up properly so he can use large numbers of tracks and plugins, so no outdated hardware please.<br>
<br>If you think of this post as tasteless and offensive then I apologize in advance and hope you understand a guy trying to help out another guy out.<br><br>Thanks so much for reading,<br><br>Daniel Worth<br>Host<br>The Open Source Musician Podcast<br>
