Well... I do like Unison (I wouldn't recommend Dawsonite tho, it's hard to say for latin-like languages native speakers like me). I still think something like "Open Tracks Studio" could be an option, but changing the name right now is quite a bad idea, we just reached 1.1 version...

We could, like, wait some years, and then, after the community grows (there is no way it won't grow) make a public pull about a new name.

We may find the perfect name in the meantime...


Talking about names... Do you find it hard to say "Cortana" or "Siri"? They're read as I would read them in Italian, I wonder why would they choose these names for a global service. Are they easy to say for any language native speaker?

Reading through Rob's post (from 2010) he mentions the name "Unison".
I think "Unison Studio" sounds nice.

But, you know, renaming and all... difficult.

    I just came across the word "Dawsonite", which conveniently has
    the word "DAW" in it. :)  Just wanted to share.

    Yes, this email thread is originally from 2010. :)  No, I don't
    think it's wise to rename the software, just food for thought. :)

            Well, as long as we're throwing out our LMMS naming ideas,
            here are mine.
            I think I submitted them to one of the developers maybe a
            year ago, but
            can't find the email now, just the text file I was keeping
            them in.  I
            wonder if there's still a point, though, since Unison is a
            nice name and it
            sounds like it'll make LMMS obsolete eventually.

            "Autonomy", because
              - Like other popular Linux audio tools, it's an abstract
            noun
                starting with "A"
              - LMMS has always been more capable as an "all-in-one",
                self-contained tool than other programs like it
              - The word evokes independence and rugged individualism
              - The word also contains "auto" at the beginning, reflecting
                how much work LMMS does for the user

            "Ambition", because
              - Like other popular Linux audio tools, it's an abstract
            noun
                starting with "A"
              - Ambition is a desirable quality for a musician, and is
            something
                LMMS will not stand in the way of, unlike some other tools
              - The word also sounds like "ambience" and "audition"

            "Audibility", because
              - Like other popular Linux audio tools, it's an abstract
            noun
                starting with "A"
              - The word is a nice cross between "audio" and "ability"
              - It has one more syllable than "Audacity" but is still
            catchy ;)

            "Freelance", because
              - It has "free" in the name
              - It has the connotation of independence and many
            musicians would
                describe themselves with it
              - It's not an abstract noun starting with A, if that
            bugged you

            Rob
