[ardour-dev] problems with SSE code for x86_64

[Mike Taht]

Let me add my voice to those favoring dual licensing ardour.

It's being able to have the source and fix the bugs myself and not
have to go through a technical support line (to be ignored) that makes
ardour such a wonderful beast compared to every other audio product
out there. It's also, not having to pay for an upgrade cycle, every
year, in the hope that this time the product will be reliable. (hear
me, cakewalk? I hope you're trembling in fear...)

It's wanting to see ardour embedded into a dedicated DAW and a piano -
being something better than an Oasys...

It's trying to convince companies that make great plugins to make
their available for Linux, and failing, because of GPL issues. I tried
hard earlier in the year, to convince antares (who are local to me) to
port... No dice.

It's that ardour (and friends) already work better on more hardware
(x86,x86_64,ppc) than any other product - and I love to be able to
record on my x86_64 box, edit on my gf's mac, and do mix-downs on my
dual processor...

It's going to a store and finding all these wonderful-looking plugins,
not one that works on my system.

Audio is a small market for any developer, and a bear to make a living
in, even commercially.

It's knowing that 99.9% of all musicians have no coding skills worth
speaking of, and fewer still with money and/or spare time.

By all means, go fer it paul. Get it out there. World domination is
only a year or two away.



PS, if anyone wants to work on jackdmp some, I have 4 opterion 800
series processors just sitting on a shelf, waiting to be donated to
someone serious that wants to build a quad processor box and play with
'em.
