I am a Live User (Or even a Bitwig user presumably a few years down the

road).  I have a workflow I am used to, and I want to try out Linux for

reason X, Y, or Z.  But I find that there is nothing on Linux that can

match my workflow, or even fully supplant it, meaning my work will be hurt

by switching to Linux in most liklihood.  Thus I don't as to do so would

mean limiting myself.

For the record, I also came from ProTools on Mac, and CuBase/Nuendo on

Windows before that;)  So not that much different, though I probably have

been using Ardour for quite some time at this point and wouldn't be able to

step up to PT or CuBase/Nuendo very easily at all:)

Heh as I said, it is the exact same argument above, just looking at it from

a different angle.  So my question becomes, would Sega have sucked if it

could play Mario Kart AND all the Sega Games? ;)

At any rate my nitpicking is done, back to my regularly scheduled "what the

hell am I doing for this sound" work day.
