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.
Hey dude,
you are missing the point. ALSA is by far a better system than let's say VST or DirectX. Just that you don't know it can't be an excuse...
(ever done some audi programming yourself? - never seen Qbase crash?)
