Sonic Foundry Products in Linux -ACID Product Family

Subject:Sonic Foundry Products in Linux Posted by: ericsean Date:12/10/1999 4:02:00 PM I think you should consider porting your code to Linux. There are a lot of serious sound engineers using linux that would love to see your products in Linux. The operating system is fast becoming a desktop alternative, as opposed to just a server opponent. I find Acid and Soundforge extremely irritating to use in Windows 95. Only when i use them in Windows NT to the products really shine through. However, I'm not keen on using either of these systems. Is it not even worth doing some research to see if existing would use a linux version? I can't be the only one serious about sound techonology in IT and Linux??

What audio tools are currently available for Linux? What kind of audio hardware support is there?

I wasn't aware that Linux was being used in the pro/prosumer audio
market. What audio tools are currently available for Linux?

What kind of audio hardware support is there?
