Ardour requirements Posted Nov 18, 2004 12:31 UTC (Thu) by trutkin (guest, #3919) [Link] Ardour doesn't *require* an expensive high-end soundcard. It will work with any card that is supported by ALSA. High-end soundcards are recommended because they allow for lower latency and more simultaneous inputs.
Ardour requirements Posted Nov 18, 2004 17:35 UTC (Thu) by cook (editor, #4) [Link] That's why I put "for best results".I suppose I should change "requires" to "recommends".
uh-oh Posted Nov 18, 2004 18:44 UTC (Thu) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330) [Link] The very first trademark infringement suit over a domain name, ever, was filed by Wired Magazine (they sued Women's Wire for using "wire.net"). I fear that the authors of this program might be hearing from someone.
uh-oh Posted Nov 20, 2004 7:29 UTC (Sat) by dberkholz (subscriber, #23346) [Link] You might want to re-read what you said. It was filed over a _domain name_. This Wired's homepage looks like http://bloodshed.net/wired/?sid=1, which, to me, doesn't look anything like a homepage that Wired magazine would want.
There is a different potentially valid trademark problem, however. Although normally things with similar names in somewhat different areas can get away with it, this runs into difficulties with so-called "famous" trademarks. Wired magazine could well be considered one.
Rosegarden has musical notation editing Posted Nov 22, 2004 0:28 UTC (Mon) by Wills (guest, #1813) [Link] Rosegarden has the same features as Wired, and one very useful extra feature that will be appreciated by classically trained musicians: editing of musical notation (sheet music scores).
