Last time I used rosegarden it was okay, I installed guspnp15 and it has a tendency now to blow up and freeze the machine, although this might have been when I did something stupid... I don't know, but does rosegarden work for you, I'd love to actually have it as being usable for my AWE64. For now, I'll be happy sticking with guspnp15 until something new and wonderful comes along and I get more than just sound in quake.. Thanks, Steve Roome. Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
