you were going so well..
until you hit that last question:
it sounded something like:
"i personally believe... that.........some....people .....don't have maps......as... such ...and....thus.....south African..........education.......in ....America....um... in..south Africa.."
no we would need to go and ask AVID ironically as they own both Stienberg and Digidesign.
are we all aware of that ? The same corporation owns both?
well we would need to say show me Digidesign current Profits as against Stienberg Current profits.
you see what you quoted here : "If nothing was available for free, they would have to buy it"
is called in economic terms a narrowing of the market exposure.
We can say a similar thing for Pro Tools as it is generally a narrow field i.e being primarily operated on a Mac system 10% of the computer market and often needing a 002 or
003 rack to operate.
mbox sales would have widened the market exposure but generally it's pretty narrow still.
we need to compare that to a wide market exposure system such as Cubase, and see if that extra market exposure indeed lead to increases of sales.
a good indication would be the last five years profit and income estimates including this year to date from the two divisions of the same corporation Avid.
I really don't have to see them.
the market system will always win if the product is good.
what you are talking about leads to low market exposure, bad backwards systems, inferior products and higher prices.
yes that's right HIGHER prices, you may disagree with me but you need to show some evidence as i am about to do:
a narrowing of any market leads to a monopoly a monopoly generally always leads to higher prices and lower quality.
now the example for the people that can't understand:
you cannot copy or crack a piece of outboard Gear can you?
lets vote and ask electrical engineers if it cost the thousands of dollars to make a valve compressor to justify the price.( I mean is valve technology still the magic art of the alchemists)
What we are looking at is the ultimate narrow market and an ultimate monopoly as the information and education field was also narrowed.
now I’m not saying those valve compressors were inferior products but for the price they were far far from perfect. (but that in essence is what gave them the sound also, the actual malfunction.)
Hmmm….higher price lower quality of features now what DAW does that remind me of….any Cubase or logic users tried Pro tools lately?
but my point is made, in fact i might check N-Track out as a DAW if i can see that it can do everything Cubase can do in regard to performance bounce down etc.
i might buy that and not upgrade my Cubase.
trust me you are wrong on this one, i know you think i'm an arrogant fuck but i told you i am an economic genius (not because I’m smart) just because everyone else got dumb somehow.. and I was immune.
I blame the sleeping Satellite.
