<snip> Most people are happy with the DAW they are using, if only because it's what they know. People rarely change DAWs. Trying to get a Logic user to switch to Cubase is virtually impossible, yet alone getting them to use a different OS. Also, there could be years worth of work in a propriatory format that can only be read in a particular version of a DAW running under a particular version of the OS. I've had people who are used to recording with computers pick up Ardour in a few minutes. I don't know if the same people could install a Linux distro and Ardour and whatever softsynths unassisted though. Sound on Sound has been pretty good. There are little bits almost every month, if not about Linux then about Jackd on OSX. Other music magazines seem to consist of cut and pastes from web pages and advertisements. Just you wait. :))) I try to give credit to software I've used in the sleeve notes if possible. The last one I recorded ('I bless the day I found you' on Boobytrap records) has thanks to: "Linus, Paul Davis, JLC, SWH and anyone else involved in Linux audio, Charlie Steinberg". I still work in a weird mishmash CubaseSX mixed with Linux stuff. Mostly Cubase for work. For telly and video work I've used Ardour sometimes, though sleeve notes are irrelevent there, and no one I was recording has even commented on what DAW I was using.
