But I also want to use my software in a modular way, my own setup, not bounded by one application, with a certain amount of CPU, memory needed, or with some features it has (not)...
With Ladish I can build my own DAW with Lv2rack, non-daw, non-mixer, zynaddsubfx etc. This is just great!
I would once again non-violently point out that building your own DAW suggests that you are doing pretty specific music. Because it is extremely difficult to find what a regular DAW, say, Ableton Live or FL Studio cannot do for a regular musician. In fact, just out of curiosity, I would love to hear what exactly any known IME cannot do for you.
Modular approach here is for many reasons, but my opinion has not changed - I strongly believe that modular approach is flexible, but its flexibility is really needed only for a very specific, rare setup. For people who do normal music I think there were many occasions when they just wanted it to work in an IME way. The whole argument of saying that modular approach is so flexible is a bit weird to me. What kind of music requires so much flexibility?
Understand me correctly. I am inspired by the modularity in itself. I just do not see why it is so important. I maybe wrong and miss the obvious. I would love to hear how musicians here use the modular approach and in what way its flexibility allows to do something a good solid IME of the pro class cannot do.
I mean, the community of musicians on Linux is much smaller than the community of musicians on proprietary systems. But somehow the modular approach does not appear there in a way it appeared on Linux. And somehow everyone manages with those Abletons and Cubases and FL Studios. See what I mean?
