I don't get over to Brighton much these days since my daughter moved out of Kemptown up to Hackney.  But Hove is near enough to share the same salubrious Sussex by Sea climate...

Yeah, salubious......I'm just off the the Beach with Water Resistant Minus Factor 15

Actually, I'm counting on the Mayans being right so I don't need to read the next go-around.

I don't see a profit for them in it - though, as I mentioned in that other thread, I'd grab a Mac version of Sonar in a blink.

DP moving to Windows is an indication of how tough these days are for software developers.

OTOH, things aren't necessarily all that easier on the PC. In the last few years, we've seen Steinberg finally porting Wavelab to Mac, Adobe porting Audition, and now Sony is apparently porting Sound Forge.

Heck, even Cakewalk is porting Zeta. :P

I think the difference is subtle. If you design software for Mac only, you're almost done for. If you do Windows only, you may be starting to starve. Cross-platform may be an option to prolong the agony...

Well..  If your goal is to sell music stuff, you are dealing with a group of professionals who have lost their income.  How many people got paid when this was released?

How many roadies, engineers, ticketing agents, venue owners, a & r execs, hardware companies, tape companies, advertising agents... I mean, "the whole global economy has changed." 





Oh ok...  See now, when Justin Bieber releases an album..  a few people get paid.  When Alice Cooper released Trash...  "lots, and lots of people got paid." And Alice and the Band got really paid...  but tons of people got nicely paid.  Its totally different now.


Furthermore.. You can't do an artist like Alice Cooper, Micheal Jackson, The Beatles, Mettallica, MegaDeath, Run DMC, Beasty Boys, The Cars ( The Cars was a studio band.  They made their whole living on records and almost never toured. )...

Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Miles Davis, Chuck Berry, Tina Turner...   All would be hard pressed to have a music income today.


The only thing in music, that seems to be working right now is, "One Direction, Katey Perry, Adele, Justin Bieber, Usher."  I'm sorry but these people are not talented.  And the 20 producers who keep making these idiot tracks on FM radio are not enough to support a software company.

As a song writter I think Adele is talented, not that keen on her voice though

Unless you deal with Apple...

When I was very young I got very distressed about the cows being rounded up to be milked.  My Grandmother re-assured me that they actually enjoyed the twice daily routine and would mostly turn up voluntarily when it was the right time.  I never really bought into the idea.

However, after seeing internet marketing in action more recently and see people queing up in  a very similar way I'm thinking now that she was right all along.
