Default Re: Digidesign Transformation

I am a veteran of the 001, somewhat kludgy software early-on, driver hiccups, extra-ordinary processor demands, GUI incongruities, boot-up billboards that would not go away until you bought something, etc.

Although you did not always have the greatest code crunchers - you strived to give me the best sound and sound manipulation possible within the contemporary technology constraints. IMHO you hit it out of the park.

A couple of months ago, I bronzed the 001, sent it back to you for the trade-in deal. Got 003 Factory running 8.0 on MAC Pro. Still on the learning curve but I like it a lot.

My .02: If you want to establish "Brand" (which is what this exercise to be) make your stuff work __TOGETHER__. ( e.g., Let LE 8.0 talk to M-audio so singer/songwriters can create in their hotel rooms).

Permit seamless upgrades through the product set. Interoperability within a product set strengthens brand, offers opportunities for up sell and leverages paid-for code.

Oh yeah, and one more thing - get out of your cubicle and talk to customers!
