On the topic of open source, have y'all seen this? http://ardour.org/
Open source DAW, supposedly comparable to Nuendo, ProTools, et al. I
PayPal-ed him some bucks. How cool that would be. I would love to run
my studio on Linux using an open source DAW.

I've been eyeballing that project for years. For a long time my studio computer was the only I had not running Windows. Given how much Vista seems to suck for performance, and the inevitable sunsetting of XP at some point, I would still love to be able to get off of the Windows bandwagon. There are a couple of big things tying me to my Windows setup, currently, though. UAD-1 cards. And Native Instruments plugins. I have too much $$ wrapped up in those to leave them behind and I haven't seen any evidence that I can take them with me, yet.

I did download Reaper the other day and will probably use it for a few of my personal projects to get a feel for it. If it's good enough, I might switch the paying customers to that. I've been unhappy, to say the least, with the stability of Cubase. Although I haven't really exercised too much their most recent free update, so maybe they've fixed a lot of their stability issues. Still, given how those guys seem to develop software, I'm reticent to buy into whatever the next big for-pay upgrade is. I'm pretty tired of broken-ware.
