From: Matt Koskenmaki on 12 Jun 2005 05:09 Very sorry to even respond to a post that was obviously cross-posted by a troll with the intent of disrupting what is left of the old cakewalk forum, but I wanted to voice my support to Mod Bod who has helped me in the past and say, for what your music is, it is just great and thanks for helping those in need of help on this forum. I've never yet gone to the "new" cakewalk forum, I guess I just don't like it, but I've been sad about the severe drop-off in posts in this forum, which use to be very active, and even thought I don't post much, I appreciate those who still stick around for me to read. Thanks, Matt www.koskenmaki.com P.S. I have no problem with your hair, either.

I know East/West Symphonic Gold edition is > mot going to run under Linux! :-). That's the way it is. There is no way I can ever lose my Windows+CubaseSX system as I have so much archived material recorded with it. Also, it's reliable and pleasant to use. Compatibility is another issue. I can't exchange files reliably with other SX users on the Mac, or at all with other PC users using a more recent upgrade of SX, let alone with other Windows sequencers. I get the feeling Linux audio is going to be around a long time, and I'm in no hurry to dump a working system. As a second audio computer in the studio it has proved useful though, so I keep hacking away with it. > >>> To say nothing of the lack of audio card support.

There's virtually no support for MOTU cards, and probably never will be. (Only their little midi interfaces work I think.) Lynx is the same. RME cards are well supported with gui mixers and all io as far as I can tell. Not used one myself. > > Cards that offer professional audio features.

Hi, Just spoke (emailed) with the fellow from Fervent, looks like I'll be ordering the CD next week. Wasn't sure if they ship to the US but it's all covered in the base price. Ap |
