But I agree that the whole DSP issue is not and cannot be connected to Waves. Except for the Mercury users. But again there are alternatives.  |
Well considering that you have digital mixers for live (other than venue) that offers up to 9 DSP cards for internal processing... DSP is no where to be gone yet. Clearly wave is trying to see where the market might be going, or if they will push their own dsp/hardware more than making plugins. But there comes a point where if they want to keep in a market share, they will have no choice but to change. If they do not go aax dsp, they will lose the clients they had over the hd, those that literally spent tens of thousands on tdm plugins which have wups.. and in there could possibly lay the founding for a recourse against wave. But that's an other subject.
In any event throughout the recording era, product came and went, if waves doesn't go dsp, it will just be an other product to go, and people will adjust.
