Is Protux trying to imitate ProTools ™?
No. We dont even have a copy of Protools(tm) to keep tracking of similarities. We could say that Protux is more similar to Vegas or Samplitude than ProTools itself. The name is of course kind of a joke. The initial idea was to use “Pro-AETux” that would stand for “Professional Audio Editor for the Tux (linux)”, but of course that didnt catch. So, it became into “Protux” which is a combination of “Professional” and “Tux” , the Linux Penguin’s name.
