I don't understand why BOSE and Linux gets a bad RAP in this and other
groups?
I've been using BOSE gear for years and have been very happy with it
excepting the foam rot on my 802's which BOSE fixed for free.
I run a Linux based studio around Ardour/Audacity/jack using VST plugins
and everything works well.
I am currently using a set of 802's as my mains.
A set of 901's as my playback system.
A Lifestyle kit as my "what does it sound like on consumer gear" kit and I
have had no troubles translating great mixes to bigger studios.

In fact the comments I get are along the lines of very nuetral sound that
can easily be worked with.
I'm running an old Alesis 1622 board with dbx 266's and some BBE gear.
I tried an RNC but didn't like the way it colored the sound so I went back
to the 266's.
The entire studio is wired up with Monster cable and I am using an old
Yang and Chung piano as a focal point for my acoustic artists.

Honestly I can't understand why people hate BOSE because my clients are
always praising how great my mixes sound on the Bose system.
In fact just last night a trio was telling me they had never heard their
tracking sound like that before!
If that isn't a plug what is?

My Linux system just keeps on ticking and when these Protools snobs come
around I show them my Linux/Alesis/Yamaha Pro-02 systems and they just
can't believe it and have said as much.

So why does BOSE and Linux get such a bad hit around here?

I'm not trolling, I am dead serious. You sound like a Protools snob.
BTW I've been trying to get to www.agnula.org all day and it seems to be
down?

Monitors aren't supposed to make things sound good, remember?
Monitors that make -everything- sound good make it impossible to mix
anything and know when something sounds bad.

Please try trolling elsewhere. The fact that you have not posted and you
are using the same IP address as the last troll is probably a bad sign.

The Bose will certainly fit that criteria

Bose makes nothing sound good!

I don't see an ip address in that post?
Where is it located so I can filter it out in the future,
TIA,

If you like the dbx266, but not the RNC, you'll LOVE the Alesis 3630.

Then post one of your mixes somewhere for us to judge. I've never been able
to make a decent mix on an alesis 1622.
(i did on behringer, though)

Doesn't matter, it won't track no matter WHAT level you feed it.

So you didn't realise that BOSE stands for Bring Other Sound Equipment?

Oh yeah baby...just spent the day at Rock Beach in White Rock, with that
yucky SSL 4000G, their stinky Radars, a pair of abysmal Dynaudio's, a rack
full of piss poor Grace, Avalon, and GML. I was wondering from the moment I
walked in, where is that Bose gear? Ah well...next time, I'm recording with
you!!
