Man Pinnacle just bought them, what a year ago? I'm hoping this is a good thing...maybe now I'll get a drum map for the DTXtreme's.

Wonder if this is in response to Sony picking up Sonic Foundry?

I'm a Vegas/Sound Forge guy myself, and I see Sony taking the only decent multi-track product they've got and aiming it directly at the video market. The audio upgrades in Vegas are afterthoughts...

I never understood why Pinnacle bought Steinberg in the first place.
Yamaha makes sense, they don't have a strong software sequencer-recorder line and the support for Yamaha products could be better in Steinberg’s products

Good point.

I could go for a 16 ch. O1X control surface with Focusrite pre's. via firewire into SX.

Yamaha has deep pockets, this could be very good for development and integration with some cool products, controllers mixers etc.

I use Nuendo 2 and love it.

I just hope Yamaha doesn't try to make the products into something they're not.

"Buy the other guy"......... man its all over the place!!!!!!! I work at a music store, and its always about whos "acquiring" who now.

My bud who has a studio across town, (real nice studio, like one in a mag pic) hehe, told me just last night that Roland owns almost half of Cakewalk... he has been a Cake head longer than me, and he may be right!! I had never known/read anything on that before though, so it was a trip to hear. It makes sense though, if there is a release of some monster package thingy in the future.

Lets not forget, that Yammy was in the forefront at one time in the PC stuff. I had 2 friends that had the dsp Factory setup.
