Thanks :)

but dssi-vst isn't ok on my 64 Studio. Perhaps I should take a look at 
it again.

I decided to stay at Linux only, but I guess that it's important not to 
upgrade Qtractor or any other audio app, when doing a recording. I'll 
keep the next stable svn version of Qtractor, delete all older packages 
and if I ever will make music while Qtractor's latest svn version should 
fail, I would remove this version and install the stable svn package again.
To be honest, I listened to some current Linux only productions (take a 
look at JACK devel, LAD and 64 Studio) and they all had the bad sound 
quality I know from my own Linux productions.

In the 80ies and 90ies I made much better productions using the MT44D:

The trick was using one track as sync track for the Atari ST sequencer, 
then making a 3 audio track + sequencer tracks recording on DAT. After 
this I copied the DAT recording to 2 tracks of the MT44D and added 
additional 2 audio tracks and then I mastered the result again to DAT. 
That said the CME microchips for old analogue synth and some other 
analogue equipment make a big difference. Microsoft and Apple aren't 
able to emulate CME filters too, but anyway the sound isn't as muddy as 
it is for Linux. I guess there still are issues because of JACK and that 
it isn't caused by Qtractor, because most recordings I listened, were 
made with Ardour.

However, I guess I will be fine with Linux during this year. I just need 
to fix some issues and then I'll keep one stable system.

I hope you'll come back to the Linux music community. We need some more 
people who reveal weak spots.

In the last years I meet some people on audio lists making high quality 
music, testing several Linux distros and apps and then they changed to 
Microsoft or Apple :(. Keep in mind, that for Qtractor there is the 
chance to breathe a wishes. Rui doesn't ignore needs.
I only fear that 64 Studio might fall and that there will be no replacement.

Good luck with using Logic!
