Full ACK, but keep in mind that the times are changing. Knowledge is 
kept as secret, only rich people are able to pay universities etc., so 
it's not only a question about the quality. For recording and mixing 
things don't look different. A lot of film sync techniques are 
impossible by Linux. If you run a good multi band compressor like Jamin 
you bring the computer to it's knees by using Linux, not by using 
Windows. Latencies are better for Windows, if you do heavy mixing, even 
if you start with better latencies by using Linux.

I decided to use Linux, if possible. Linux only can become better, if 
critical folks will stay at Linux.

Yep and I can't pay for samples. I added Swami to my 64 Studio 
3.0-beta3, but until now I didn't use it to make a soundfont.

But to be honest, I would like to have a virtual choir that is able to 
sing my lyrics ;). Maybe it will become possible to do the same for 
Linux, if autotalent will become as good as autotune, by doing a trick. 
Instead of having something comfortable like the East West choir, it 
might become possible to use e.g. the speech synth that is used by Orca 
and to make it sing by using autotalent.

Cheers,
Ralf
