Yesterday I was having a little of a debate with a
good friend about the
possibilities of Linux/open-source audio and music software in the music
market. What are your opinions about this? Is someone there actually
making money using Linux and/or open-source software? Is it possible to
be competitive in a market full of musicians/composers using
Win/Mac+proprietary software (Cubase, Reason, ProTools and friends)?
Probably this has been addressed more than once previously, so sorry for
insisting... I think I need some encouragement!
Absolutely! I'm running a successful media production company in
Philadelphia based solely on GNU/Linux: www.steeprockmedia.com
Also, have a look at Mirror Image Recording Studios:

Not only is it possible, it's happening every day...
