Hi,
I was just messing around with your QTractor program, and for an early beta, it is quite impressive. I really like the better drag-ability of tracks and objects on the timeline much better than Ardour.

If I may ask, what are you modeling this program after? Ardour is modeled after Pro-Tools, and I hate Pro-Tools. I would really like to see you lean more towards Magix's Samplitude. If you're not familiar with it, you can download a free demo from samplitude.com. I hope you don't mind suggestions from users. :)

Almost everything one does in Samp is non-destructive and uses Object Editing to achieve much of this. As an example of OE (Object Editing), you can take a wav (object) on a track, split it, and use complettly separate effects, eq, settings, etc on each object within the same track. Also, Samplitude's mixer is second to none.

Please try the demo if you can. It is Windows only, but does work well under WINE....at least well enough to get a good feel for what OE is all about.

Thanks for your time, and reading this message. Keep up the great work. I'm very eager to try future releases of QTractor.
