No, I don't want to provide anything, I only mention what users are used to. They read "the most flexible mixer architecture in the industry, hundreds of plugins, and external control surfaces" and expect improvement when they use it, compared of what they use on other platforms, but what they actually get is an unfinished mixer, they need to set up the mixer on their own, a DAW that crashes caused by bad plugins, tracks that disappear during work etc.. However, the point is, that there is the need to provide something, that doesn't exist at the moment. What's missing for Ubuntu Studio or any other distro isn't bad PR, it's software and hardware. For Linux a lot of software is missing. At best you can use Ardour for hard disk recording, with a usable latency compensation, but you can't use it as a sequencer. At best you can use Qtractor as a sequencer, but it doesn't provide usable latency compensation for audio recordings. Both apps provide mixers with pitfalls, and no mixer is really a mixer, they are building blocks. At least an EQ should become default for each track. Btw. I'm not asking audio engineers, I'm one myself: For an averaged mixing console's channel, belongs the EQ pre or post fader? What kind of EQ makes sense for a mixer channel? When do you need pre and when do you need post aux? I know the answers, I'm an engineer. Does a musician know the answer too? There are professional standards, nobody needs the "the most flexible mixer", users expect a standard mixer. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
