imho, as a noob to all this, i like this unix-like concept of one tool
to do one job really well. other programs or even add-ons of various
sorts (plugins?) can then manage the inter-operability.

i was very sad about this too, until my noob awareness revealed to me
that i didn't really know what a daw was in the first place!

i also read in many places that the entire linux music scenario was a
bit chaotic. may be that's because too many try to do too much too
often.

for me, a few simple tools put together to do complex tasks works better
than one complex tool to do everything assuming i get around to figuring
it out.

right now, thx to the excellent guidance on this elist, i'm settled on:
1. rg as my sequencer (and notation producer -> refined editing with emacs)
2. yoshimi to generate sounds (instead of plugins|fluidsynth|timidity)
3. audacity to record vocals then put into rg

conceptually i find this manageable instead of trying to do everything
in rg.

practically ... well we'll find out this week!
