Disorganized DAW Session

perhaps one of the most disorganized DAW sessions you will ever see.  This is a screenshot taken while working a song tentatively titled "1963".
while we're at it, here's another screen i had open at the time, pretty much zynaddsubfx and my patchbay, which was also not super organized.

Getting started

Hey everyone, i'm Devon, one of the members of dn3s.  we're really new on the scene, and don't even have our first album out yet.  at this point, we're kind of busy, so i don't expect progress for a while, but we'll get there.  I am sort of the digital guy in the group; i do the mixing and sequencing and all that jazz. basically, dn3s right now consists of me and my cousin teaming up to make electronic music.  he is really awesome at percussion of all sorts, but i'll let him introduce himself.  in his own post.
so.  I run Fedora, with the realtime patched kernel.  i get most of the music software from planet ccrma, which is a great repository of music/audio stuff.  I currently use Ardour for my audio sequencing, qtractor for midi sequencing (only temporarily until Ardour 3 comes out, which will have built-in midi sequencing), and i simply love using zynAddSubFX for making synths, just because it is so extremely customizable and powerful.  and yes, that is correct.  it's all open source.
that's all for now, but i'll keep y'all posted.
