I was very pleasantly surprised by the previous version -- at a time when I barely had a single charitable thought about MS. |
And I don't want to appear as bragging or anything, but I get calls from M$ offering me 5 licenses of MSDN Universal (all M$ systems, software, tools, debug builds, etc.) for $399...that's a what...$15000 value? The $399 is just so I have a little skin in it...
If I'm a DAW vendor, Steve Massey is on my "A list", no question about it. A DAW is largely a holder of plugins, and getting people to switch without their favorite plugins available is very tough...
And sadly I don't develop audio software any more otherwise sure I'd drive over to the next neighborhood and go help Mr. Massey out. Although I don't think he would need my help...I think this is a problem in the API or the host. That said, people have gotten plugins to run in Logic 8...so someone out there could probably be of assistance!
