I can't stand the whole idea of closed-source VSTs and plugins and synths.
I do genuinely believe that Autostatic was referring to open sourced VSTs.
Hehe!
Why does it always, whatever we're discussing, come back to PG/ Genesis on
this list? Very strange! I don't mind coz I'm a huge prog fan and my band
have a running gag about Genesis (and the Jesuit Order, who are every bit as
good for a gag).
I suppose that the whole PG/Genesis versus the Linux audio world came to a
head when PG flew Paul out to have him demonstrate Ardour to him. What song
was in your head on the flight over las- do you remember? Watcher of the
Skies? I can only presume it wasn't quite what Pete was after at the time
otherwise we'd have some marketing machine going right there.
Maybe we should have a separate LAU/LAD for those who prefer Collins
Genesis? ;)

I think I have about 60 to 70 of those sitting on my
harddrive.
Unfortunately there are very few hosts.
The last sentence quite nails it :) Yeah, I'm one of THOSE guys.
Seriously, I'm using linux becuase of the freedom, the open source, and
the
political aspect of it. That's why I run it.
I wouldn't bother with it
otherwise.
I can't possibly imagine political aspect of writing music. Oh wait,
Peter Gabriel did it with "Biko". Right :)
