And what makes you think that free stuff for Windows or Mac does not
exist?

Try Reaper.
Supports VST and all the plugins I mentioned.
And you can donate $50.00 if you like it, but you don't *have* to.

Audacity is free for Windows as well BTW.

Waveasaurus is free.

You're right.
I DON'T know what professional musicians use Linux for.
That's because :

Professional musicians DON'T USE LINUX AT ALL.

Mostly kidd stuff.
I've used 64studio as well.
Same crap.

It's Windows circa 1985 or so.
Dr T's did more in fact.
Can you say Atari?

Podcasts?
Like Roy Schestowitz's sleeper?
What does making podcasts have to do with recording 32 tracks of audio
for CD?

And could you please prove that 1 million new Linux users per month?
