In case people didn't know, Pinnacle bought Steinberg in 2003.

Yes, but then Yamaha acquired Steinberg from Pinnacle. Steinberg's not part of this deal.

In in unrelated note, I just realized that AVID is based about 20 mins from where I live, I should go intern there

Steinberg's website makes no mention of this.

Do you have a link that says otherwise?

"Steinberg's website makes no mention of this."

Our very own Nuendo and Cubase forums were buzzing when it happened. A search there will show the topic.

An even faster reference is to go to google and type in the phrase ..."Yamaha acquires Steinberg"....that'll give you 8 bazillion links to read.

I don't normally peruse the Steinberg forums since I'm a Cakewalk user.
