With all apologies, I'll admit my post was extremely trollish, but I did accomplish what I set out to do: get some answers to some questions that were bothering me. Was it the best way to do it? Certainly not, but I won't make any defense of my actions. I feel the way I feel about this whole subject, but I'm willing to let my mind be changed.
Let me make one more thing clear: I WANT to love Linux audio. I WANT to use Ardour and code my plug-ins in LV2. What I DON'T want is a ton of heart-break in getting from here to there. And I want to apologize specifically to you, Paul, for tying a can to Ardour the way I did. I realized my mistake a few moments after I sent the email in frustration. Maybe we need to invent USB mood detectors. Paul Davis wrote: > Your criticism of Ardour is not entirely without merit. However, it > ignores a couple of rather important issues.

Okay, I forgot that PT is a fixed point engine. PT LE is a 40-bit floating-point bus. I don't know why the difference. Again, apologies for the troll. Trust me, I am great at stirring the pot. In the end, though, I just want to code me some plug-ins and make some music. -- Darren ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
