Please no quarrel. I again replied, just because of a thought.

The thought. When Brauner started his company I was a friend of him and 
I worked for him. Why could he sell Brauner Microphones, even if there 
were all those Neumann Microphones?

Some from this list used Pro Tools and changed to Ardour, maybe they 
should write more about the reasons. I guess other PT users who didn't 
change to Ardour would change their minds, when you focus on that 
reasons, by making Ardour tasty for those PT studios.

Dunno and now I really can't write anything additional, but there are 
reasons that some people chaged from PT to Ardour, so they might give 
you hints ... just a thought.
