Well, I've had a look at ardour and it goes right over my head (at

around 40,000 feet). I really don't have the time and patience to start

all over again. I think a great deal of one's ENJOYMENT in one's

productivity comes from familiarity, and I've only incrementally added

to my working style since my first MIDI setup in 1991.
I think, so far I've made a grand total of four vocal recordings, and

the method I used is relatively fast. Especially so when you consider

I have literally taken years to develop some tunes. Also, for

instrumental work I usually record in one straight hit, controlling

everything from Rosegarden. The tune 'Lair Of The Dragon King' which I

put up on here some time ago uses this method and Rosegarden is in

charge of all of the following in one session.
ZynAddSubFX

Qsynth

Hydrodgen

jamin (two instances)
External MIDI

Sound Canvas

Yamaha SY35
All connections eventually going to timemachine
