In the past you had to spend thousands of dollars to be able to record, which put recording demo tapes, extended play records, and long play records well beyond the budget of a hobbyist or struggling band.I've watched in delight (and sometimes impatience) as digital powers have worked their way downstream. Sometime around 1995 my favorite band King's X broke off from their major label deal and were able to release on a smaller budget thanks to digital recording. A year or so ago a less-than-tech-saavy friend of mine recorded a nice sounding release on dedicated proprietary standalone digital recording hardware. I'd be a little surprised if he had over $2k in recording equipment. A GNU-based offering is the next logical step in this evolution.
