For recording and mixing, things look different. What do you think?

Yeah, paying for some samples is always a solution. I think for Linux and YES, of course for Windows and Max users... > Pardon I need to do a PPS: > > I don't guess you need something like the East West stuff, choir that > can sing your lyrics or real orchestras and I guess you don't need > something like Absynth etc., if you should need stuff like this, than > you shouldn't use Linux ;) . I don't need it :) . Yeah. You're totally right. When talking about instruments, for making music with linux, I think we're talking about synthesizers and drums ... regards, gizzmo _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
