Ladie and gentlemen,in the year of Lord 2007 AD, we seem to be caught in a
quagmire or a stomp in the road as far as new , cool , and usefull product
development in the Pro audio industry.
Maybe that's the problem, the name "Pro -Audio". It's a given, that todays
producs are for the "bed-room, garage band types.
On the so called High-End, we have over-hyped, China made products that are
being passed off @ 5000 percent mark-up..
All the was to the lower (mass) end, with those same China manufacturers
producing these products @ an 5000 percent markup..
What happend to innovation? Backin 1996 all the way to 2000, we were on a
roll, with great products like Emu Paris, Digi's Pro Tools , Steinberg' VST,
Motus break thur firw-wire protocols.
Today we have , half-baked , half-thought out, rediculous performance claims..ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I too a look the 2007 Namm offerings..And with out a doubt, I could not find
one manufacurer, With BALLLS!!!!!!
Each product was play it safe pruduct, that will FAIL!!! because these spineliee
maufacturers fail to provide the tools and asked for products that we want.
Just Bull-shitt after Bull-shit products!!!
This industry has gotten most of you on their "8 input/output crack".. PCI
card here, add another there.each card weaker than the next. add and 8 i.o
converter here and there..Then, you must upgrade your CPU, because "You
know we promised you tha Native Processing is the future??( That stated back
in 1996).. Well , it 11 years later, and Native is a choice, but DSP is still
vibrant..
Where is this industry going?? yamahe , Roland & Korg, asking continuously
for $3k for keyboard workstations that still uses the same sound set 5-10
years ago...
So called pro-audio companies (UAD and many others) all hell bent on using
20 year old dsp chips(because) they can get them for next to nothing, but
charge us up the ass for their undr powered piece of shit!!
And, so goes the American way of Business.. Business 101. Buy cheap shit,
sell for a great profit, then change the color and name of said product,
and brand it an update. Charge even more, and continue this trend until the
buyers figures it all out..Or some othe r(New) company comes in with some
cool new innovation, thus making that old comapny step up it's game..
I'm tired of it all. Just plain tired of all the BS in this industry.
