What's known is that Yamaha Music invested $5,000.000.00 into embedded Linux kernel development a year or two ago. Now they've invested $25,000.000.00 into Cubase. To compete with ProFools, they need the hardware and software combined. And now they have it. What I find interesting is their decision to spend millions on Cubase rather than thousands on Ardour. Why? The value of concern isn't a technical quality. Twenty five million will build anything soft. The investment is in owned market. Combining the Yamaha and Didgi marketshares together creates a product that automatically compete with ProFools. I'll tune in to watch a couple two ton gorillas beat on eachother. It's a legitimate heavy weight bout. The compelling consideration for us is that other hardware companies either adapt to compete with the gorillas or they dissapear. Mackie has their solution. But some hardware manufacturer is thinking about combining their hardware and market share with Linux Audio software because JACK, Ardour, JAMin and many other interesting applications are almost ready to satisfy user expectations. Will it be Neve, Peavey, Focusrite or whomever that decides to combine their hardware and marketshare with our software and put it into the ring with the gorillas? Someone is gonna do it. With a ringside seat procured, all I'm missing is a fresh pot of coffee and a donut. I will not need cigarettes because I quit smoking a few days back and am firmly held within the cold turkey psychosis. I am sick and pissed enough at Phillip Morris to stick around and watch the audio contendors fight it out. ron > Cheers, > Andreas > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dave Phillips" <dlphilp@xxxxxxxxxx> > To: "LAD Mail" <linux-audio-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; > "LAU Mail" > <linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Monday, December 27, 2004 3:06 PM > Subject: [linux-audio-dev] Steinberg sold to Yamaha > > > > > > http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/041221/sftu007_1.html > > > > "MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 21 > /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pinnacle > > Systems, Inc.
