Browsing Freshmeat tonight, the premier online Linux software repository, I came across to these two great (and brand new) applications,
ReBorn and
ReZound. Reborn, a Rebirth clone that will soon become open source according to the developer, provides a software emulation of three of Roland's most famous electronic musical instruments. It got me thinking as to how much more viable Linux is today as a professional (or semi-professional) audio platform than it used to be two years ago.
Update: On a related multimedia notice,
WinAMP 3.0 for Windows was released yesterday.
>>>robUx4: "Gstreamer could be that but relys on GTK too much (who needs a screen for audio
."
Wrong! Gstreamer relies on glib which is the foundation of gtk+ as well but has by itself nothing to do with a "screen".
BTW if you want to do audio processing with a computer you better think twice if you ommit the screen 8)
