Re: lily in agnula ? lily in live distro ?

Hardware auto worked fine but connecting it all together each and every 
time you boot up is a total pain.
And it wasn't so much that  the initial cost was so much but that 
between very slow and mostly inadequate support (the forums last I 
checked and that was a while ago- I basically gave up on it- were of not 
much use and none of the advise I got worked.) and then that the 
software was integrated but not with any of the hardware so just to 
start it took forever each time.

Lastly they get you as badly as any other proprietary software for 
upgrades-  and given that everything is somewhat older versions you need 
the upgrades as soon as they come out.

I just felt it didn't work for writing music (composing in the older sense).
