Really bad news for me. Apple just bought Emagic. They will discontinue their Windows products as of September 30. So, all the megamoney I have spent on their stuff, including the terrible Audiowerk8 sound card, all the freaking books and learning disks, and other stuff---not to mention the program itself, which I just spent $200 to upgrade to 5.0---is for nought. My sequencer history is a disaster. I started with Opcode Vision when they announced all their plans for Windows support. Later: they just let the Windows product go to waste, and then they went out of business. So, I tune in to Logic. They suggest I buy their freaking sound card to work with the product, but it loves to crash the system. They suggest I add a DSP Factory (Yamaha) card, but then all their plans to support that card evaporate. And now this. Hundreds and hundreds of dollars wasted, yet again. So, where now? The buggy Cubase? (Is it still that way?) (Worst-company- in-the-world) MOTU Digital Performer? Cakewalk? Part of me just says Eat the Cake. While all the flips, flops, and fads have come and gone, they have become better and better. And they are Windows-developed and Windows-based, so the program is probably stable. Heeelp! What do you all think? Enjoy, Tim
