Well, for comparison, I once tried to make a simple stereo recording
using Ardour, and was completely unable to figure it out. But pro-level
software is complex and assumes that its user has a lot of
domain-specific knowledge (is an experienced audio engineer). I don't
fault the UI for that!

Hello Alexandre,
You're right, I'm confusing social media and social networking services.
I meant the latter.
My 2ยข: social media don't work for Linux
Audio. I think the only
thing that
does work is good video tutorials, that's really big at the moment, good
blogs and decent articles on authorative sites and in printed magazines.
I think you really want to expand your understanding of what social
media is. All of the above except printed magazines is part of it :)
the other
things are imho not useful. Twitter, Facebook, Google+
won't work,
simply too much dispersion, people don't collaborate on these platforms,
they only click on buttons and leave pointless comments.
That's quite an exxageration. and Scribus via Twitter. It's actually useful
for helping people solve
simple issues. That's not a direct marketing, but it helps preserving
user base. Of course, one could go beyond that.
Ha ha, yeah, that's true. We even borrowed a 300 page Cubase book from a
friend but still we didn't manage. I call BS, with the band I convinced the others
to ditch Cubase in
favor of
Qtractor because every rehearsal session we were totally lost again
on how
to record a simple track.
You mean you didn't know how to use Cubase? :)
