hehhe - yeah - its a really great interface for people making experimental music because of how you can have complete control over all of your modules and what not - its basically just a large-scale version of Reaktor or something - really cool :) |

Hm, interesting! Looks like it's based on the Alsa drivers instead of the OSS drivers. I'll have to try this. This one time at band camp, I spent hours trying to install the Alsa drivers on Redhat to get my sound card working - it was like trying to staple your nutsack to a moving train - painful and doomed. I dunno why. Unfortunately I couldn't use the default OSS drivers because they don't handle the chipset in my Maudio card. It's too bad FL will never get ported to Linux because it relies too heavily on Windows architecture like DirectX. This makes me nervous 'cause someday they might lock down the Windows media APIs with digital rights damagement, er, management, and presto, no more sampling or songwriting - unless maybe you pay Microsoft and the RIAA to become a bonded and licensed musician. |

i really hope that fruityloopps gets re-engineered so they can port it to *nix - a mac version would be awesome :) and the microsoft stuff is bullshit - i dont think things would get THAT out of hand - i mean - thats just fucked if it gets to the point where buying a "musicians license" needs to be necessary |

I think there's a lot of big companies and government agencies that have a vested interest in turning home computers into fancy televisions. People with computers represent competition to traditional media distribution networks, and even to journalism. I'd say that governments and large corporations are about this " close to openly calling for mandatory licensing of home computers and some kind of non-repudiation scheme wherein through digital signing, everything you published on the internet could be traced back to you as an individual. Hence, Microsoft's Palladium and DRM scheme. Now Microsoft on the other hand has had to play it pretty close to the chest - there's already plenty of people mad as hell at them and watching them closely. And if they make computers too useless too fast, their market share could dive. But changes will be made bit by bit, in the name of stopping P2P, identifying terrorists and collaring kiddy porn distributors. We are in a tub of warm water and the heat is going to be turned up so slowly we aren't even going to notice that we are cooking. |
