DMN: Various aspects of the production workflow are merging these days.

Lebolt:

I’d add that we are touching specifically on what Digidesign does as its core business. I can only peripherally talk to the idea that we are certainly looking outside of our core business to other areas where digital audio can be used that are adjacent market segments. So, while I can’t talk to the particulars of that, I can say, where else could you be using digital audio and where would it be of value to have integration and to offer some of the expertise that we’ve garnered with control surfaces or processing? That’s what we look to do. Certainly, live sound is an area like that for us.

DMN: A lot of the live sound guys still use analog boards.

Lebolt: Yeah, that’s it. And of course, if you’re Linkin Park or whoever and you’ve just done your CD and cut it with tons of Pro Tools plug-ins, and it changed your life on the record, you want to go out and use those effects live and have some of that stuff repeatable. Let’s make some of that stuff happen.
