Yes, they are shiny and want to sell you "creativity". You push a button and a guitarist plays his licks, you push another button and a drummer creates a drum fill automagically. But don't ever think that ... - there are no problems. Windows users fight with latencies and limitations as well, only in another way. - they make your songs better. I know people who play with this shiny stuff but never get any song finished. It's a big difference freaking out about perfect piano- or drumset-samples or an even-still-better reverb and putting this all together to a piece of own music. Yes, I am angry when rosegarden crashes or doesn't allow me to put the whole track 19 milliseconds to the front, or that the LADSPA plugins' gui doesn't reflect the knobs' settings. But this doesn't stop me making music. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
