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. > Yeah, paying for some samples is always a solution.

I added Swami to my 64 Studio 3.0-beta3, but until now I didn't use it to make a soundfont. > Yeah. You're totally right.

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.
