Oh, that reminds me, it's just about donation time again, isn't it?

What happened to the idea of doing one thing, and doing it well?  I'm

not even totally sold on the idea of having the recorder and mixer in

the same app...
To that end, why has no-one managed to produce a PC (by which I mean the

general case of modern personal computer, not x86/PCI cards/beige box

PC) sequencer that doesn't suck overweight elephants through extremely

fine mesh?  Cubase 3 on the Atari was simple, intuitive (well, apart

from the Interactive Phrase Synthesizer, I never met anyone that could

figure that out except for one guy from Orkney who lived in a house full

of cats and ate only yoghurt and green tea) and reliable.  Surely it

cannot be beyond the wit of man to come up with something as good as

20-year-old software on hardware a million times as fast?
