hi guys! just in response at some whispering about linux and audio (and SM) i 'sampled' in the forum in the last days... there is a great report by dave phillips (who's one of the greatest linux/audio expert) on the actual status of audio on linux... very interesting one...the present is good and the future seems promising 🙂

IHMO, SM never run in Linux. Beign linked against MFC precludes this. On the other side VST/VSTI produced in SM should have no problem in running perfectly in a linux Audio environment provided that SM matches the following requirements:
.- To produce a Full VST/VSTi Standard, not contaminated by MS particular ways of doing things
.- To support PortAudio ( alongside with ASIO and DirectX) for Input/Output. ( Ithink there's a port for windows but not sure)
.- To not rely on some compiler extras beyond the standard Ansi C/C++;
I think this will suffice, but, again, not sure

I'd like to press the issue about Linux being the future a bit more. If you want to be safe of Microsoft-DRM dystopia, you should really consider it!
I'd change, but there are still too many programs that wont support it (like SM 😉 )

I already passed to Linux. It's good for science applications, still Windows has just something you cannot live without. What Linux is missing is a modus operandi humanly comprehensible by someone who didn't study computer science.
