Apparently Wine is nearing that so elusive 1.0 release, which really annoys me considering my recent Wine experiences.
Wherever possible, I try to use a native Linux application, and even in the specialised field of pro audio, this is often possible. I use Ardour as my main DAW, Rosegarden for MIDI sequencing and JAMin for mastering. [...]

If You’re Going To Listen To Music – Listen To It Properly
A few months ago I decided that I had lived without a decent Hi-Fi for too long and set about getting one on the cheap.
CD Player: Cambridge Audio D500 SE – £22
First came the CD player courtesy of eBay. The item was advertised as a Cambridge Audio D100 which I was quite happy to pay [...]

Ardour Does Audio Units
I hate to tease people when we haven’t released the OS X native version yet, but I sometimes get so tired of people complaining about Ardour not supporting real plugins that I thought this screenshot might be interesting.

Remembering A Great
There is a great deal of talk about “great” bands, songs, albums and figures in music.

JACK For Windows?!
“Stephane Letz at GRAME, of JackOSX and jackdmp (multi-processor jackd) fame, has been working on a Windows port of JACK (specifically, jackdmp), and reports early initial success.

It was the traditional twice yearly SAE open day a couple of Sundays ago, and although I didn’t have the pleasure of joining all the young hopefuls on a sightseeing tour of a warehouse in Islington, I thought this would be a good opportunity to share some of my thoughts and experiences of SAE.
