I have been watching Linux, but so far there just isn't enough really good audio software (or maybe I'm just not aware of it) available to make me think the switch is viable. Although, now that Mac has gone UNIX-based with OSX, maybe some of those developers might start thinking about porting to Linux. It would be a smaller leap now... Hey, look at what I just found on one of those Linux pages: "Sooperlooper is a "looping sampler very much like the Gibson/Oberheim Echoplex Digital Pro". It is written by Jesse Chappell and is available from http://dexterssandbox.com/sooperlooper/." "SooperLooper is a looping sampler very much like the Gibson/Oberheim Echoplex Digital Pro (EDP). In fact, it is a downright emulation of an EDP, with some additional features and a silly name. I figured that the EDP feature-set is powerful, proven, and popular -- so why not implement it as a LADSPA plugin we can all use? It is a true realtime software looper if used with a low-latency Linux kernel and the proper audio buffer configuration." I see this has been mentioned in the archives before, but just in case you are brave, thinking Linux, and haven't heard. -J ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Palmer" <jimp@pobox.com> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 9:18 AM Subject: RE: Realtime os (was kim's refreshing...) > >... > > I wonder why enterprises like Apple dont create a real time version > > of their OS, limited and optimized for specific use. > > In most studios I see a Mac with nothing but ProTools installed to > > make it safe.
