  1. Oh no, sad news!
    If this trend continues, we will only have the five Mega-DAWs who will eventually merge with Googlebook.
    But then, cutting-edge musicians will rediscover acoustic instruments….

  2. This could be really interesting…………more stuff on Linux which would be appreciated. I am glad they brought back a great sequencer and made the base sequencer free for everyone.

  3. This is outstanding news! A very big step forward for any open source music dev. BTW, if this runs on JUCE, many companies who already use JUCE can incorporate any R&D from this into their existing products (cough MPC live cough)
