Okay, this depends to the way somebody is composing and producing a song. Sometimes when I used the Atari ST as the MIDI sequencer, I used my MIDI drum machines as drum samplers, but sometimes (I've to admit that), I synced the drum machines sequencers to the Atari ST sequencer. You're rhetorical question has driven me into the corner ;). There isn't a wrong or right. IMHO there is a more and a less complicated way to clear some issues for Linux. I guess having the workstation = MIDI sequencer + hard disc recorder + automated mixing console as one application and any thing else as LADSPA, DSSI, LV2 might be the (on German we call it:) "lowest common denominator". Including VSTs might be fine to ;). "i absolutely agree with that." and "who is right?" :D ... pardon again ... my thoughts are selfish, but to defence my selfishness ... is it possible to handle all those different ideas?
