My opinion is that Linux lags seriously behind Windows in music production software. I run Linux 100% of the time and am almost being forced to set up a Windows box for music.
For example software that will allow me to play a tune on any band instrument and have it auto write to score from microphone input can be trivial in Windows but either complex or impossible in Linux. As I play trumpet, trombone and clarinet it is important to me that such software not be voice dependent. These days so many programs are only concerned with guitar or drums that they are useless to traditional musicians.

Where in the world did you get your facts?!

“with Windows, ProTools is often considered industry standard when it comes to audio production.”

Ok, you’ve got the ProTools thing RIGHT, but Windows!? 99% of ALL ProTools interfaces are on an Apple G5. End of story. Windows is not standard by any means for audio production.

I own a professional recording studio. I really enjoy linux for 7 years. But I can’t use it for a complete professional recording with good Hardware (ProToolsHD3) and mastering. A home studio is NOT a professional recording studio with good engineers. No Way.

I would like to point to what looks like the chicken/eggs problem.
The egg:
In most cases, the programmer isn’t the expert/professional with
years of experience with ‘professional’ software used with an
properitary OS. He may ‘grow’ over time and with help of other
programmer as well as users feedback and testing.

The chicken:
As a ‘professional’, you had a long learnig curve – both, for
the tools you’re using as well as the basics you need to use those tools.
And most ‘professionals’ leave it for good and don’t like a change or
even upgrade tools they are used to if they have to change the workflow.

To bring a project to a professional level, you need either users which
were grown up with the project and reached that level and/or
‘professionals’ willing ti learn how to use it, use it where it already
can be used for and help where there is deficiency of function or usability.
This would pave the way to get the momentum needed to reach that level
‘professionals’ still missing….
