As much as I'd like it to be the case, I'm still recording music on
Cubase 5 VST / Windows XP (standalone workstation). It's light years
ahead of any of the Linux alternatives. This is the only thing I still
use Windows for.
Muse is probably the best of the Linux bunch. It requires ALSA drivers
to run, which was a problem for me because I do a RealAudio radio show
once a week, and the Helix(RA) Producer streaming program doesn't like
the ALSA OSS emulation. The version in Woody also kept hanging on me.
Now I'm running unstable, I might give it another go.
Sadly, it can't import Cubase files, so I don't see that my Cubase
machine will be going away for several years at least.
