Hi Daniel :)

I'm sorry, no, I don't need surround support, I'm fine with stereo. When
I was writing about Dolby and audio in any way, I was thinking of the
good sound quality and audio to video sync.

It sounds more like a stand alone sound sampler with expensive sound
samples, mixed on a Neve console, than Fluidsynth with "standard"
sondfonts, mixed by any virtual Linux console or any stand alone
homerecording console.

I would like to do video films, but I also know people who like to copy
their films to cord. Audio on cord film needs Dolby Digital. As a job
I've done audio work on cord film, light or magnetic analogous audio is
a disaster.

What I really need is just DAT quality for audio production in stereo
for a video film, when packed into a container with the video, the
quality can be MP3 quality in stereo or mono.

I don't need Dolby licence quality, but I would like to have a
impression what really is possible with Linux, if someone has got
working hardware for "normal" hardware costs.

Blender seems to be the best 3D animation tool even for Windows, but a
short video isn't done by only running Blender. GIMP and Inkscape are
fine on my computer, but MIDI audio don't work and not all video formats
are fine.

The question for me is, will it be less expensive to get a Linux or a
Windows computer running to produce for consumer audio CD quality and
consumer video DVD quality. I know that it's possible to do that with
Windows. I know that it will causes costs for Windows, e.g. a graphic
tablet and a sound card aren't for free. I guess most graphic tablets
and sound cards will be fine on any mobo, when using Windows and I know
that here starts the trouble with Linux, you definitive have to by a few
times hardware, because hardware that putative is fine with Linux, isn't
fine with it.

Cheers,
Ralf
