Well it was around this time a year ago we were all freaked out and people were blowing money like crazy on other DAW's.. I'm sure glad I stayed put. I was one of the "loyalists"
Only other DAW i spent money on was Harrison Mix Bus for I think $32. It's been sitting there unopened since.
As it is here we are a year later and look what we have. Good software-Free- and now even our beloved forum is also still going.
Looks like a good year coming up. I'm more stoked about learning how to use Vegas Movie Studio Plat.
My wife also bought me the BBE Sonic Sweet which I "opened" early and have been pretty stoked about what I can enhance. Check it out,, big thumbs up.
