I also admit having a problem with the MS 'my way or the highway' attitude for updates and browser compatibility etc. as well, though I have paid for every OS I've ever installed since the first release of DOS. The Roland vocal thing would have been interesting to me also. maestro

Unfortunately, music apps with the power of their much more mature Windoz and Mack counterparts just aren't there yet - for me, at least. maestro

I'm pretty sure that nothing compares to Sonar, even an older version. And I'm not crazy to try to run anything as complex as Sonar under wine or one of the other crutch tools. I would expect something like n-tracks would be ported much sooner than any of the Sonar/Cubase/ProTools/... code. -- Pat |
