Report from Digi Accel tour

[Jules]

A friend of mine attended, here's their report of what was hinted at for the future- NOTE none of this is known as being wholey factual!

-------------------------------------

ADC is perhaps just around the corner, it may be a software upgrade and might not limited to HD, Mix user’s might benefit also. (hope so! time will tell eh!)

Also not far on the radar is perhaps a rewrite of the DAE software which might address and alter (improve) the summing and improve upon the state of the panning laws as they are now.

There might be an option of retaining the ‘old’ mixer but the new one might give a different width.

Nuendo programmers may have let the cat out the bag with their examination of panning laws taking the daw width from 2.5, as in PT, to the levels of 3+, as in Neve and SSL, and beyond to 6. PT engineers might be looking at it too and now we might in future get a new summing and panning stage. This might also be a software upgrade perhaps not limited to HD, as it’s a software only issue, but again, time will tell....

Major MIDI developments and changes in the implimentation of softsynths are supposed to be firmly on the agenda too.....

The vibe was that there may be a slowing down of radical hardware upgrades, ones involving plug-in chaos.
