[Ardour-Users] Multiple USB Input recording ___IS___ needed. No it is not "DUMMB" to want this feature

[André Sklenář]

"Something
easy to forget in the western world of facilitation, is the delicious
role of limitations in creativity: Work-around tend to open up unknown
opportunities, and frustration can be powerful thrive to achieve a goal."

While i agree with this statment, i disagree with its usage in this context.
It's like if you say "Yes, I'm locked in a room for the next couple of
years,
but on the bright side, i have lots of time to read now!".

Limitation is a good thing only when it's on purpose.

Andre

PS: I am not implying that Ardour is limited.
