RE: [Nolug] Mac OS X to make an appearance at the next meeting.... maybe.

All of this audio stuff sounds neat. I am wanting to start doing some
recording myself. I've got a pretty neat casio keyboard, and want to do
both midi and multitrack recordings. Aside from the old borrow-ware
Cakewalk I've got, I'd like to use linux/opensource software if at all
possible. Any of you blokes want to clue me in?

Thanks.
