I like it an think of a children's dream :) But there's something I must say because I hear some latency issues. Most music I encounter that's made with Rosegarden or other Open Source Software avoids instruments that need exact timings. I don't know if it's caused by lacking/faulty latency compensation. But it's an important thing, at least for me. It's easy to imagine that many musicians tried Open Source software and ran away when they noticed that it doesn't sound as exact and doesn't get the groove as in commercial sowftare. That's bad. Unfortunately I can't do C++ and doesn't understand the internal concepts of Rosegarden. But I think it's damn important that - we get the off-by-one latency compensation bug in subgroups fixed - we get the missing "audio tracks don't get latency compensated at all" feature added - we get a positive/negative time offset in milliseconds per track added or at least a milliseconds entry field, so I could delay every track by 100 ms and use e.g. 90 ms as a substitue for -10 ms. That would Rosegarden make an outstanding DAW. Its track concept and its matrix and drum editors are already very good. It's (for me) much more important to get these bugs fixed than to add LV2 plugin capability or audio automation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
