It's impossible to find a magazine that is not just a marketing tool for Avid. They are monopolising the market and anything that competes is given lip service at best by the magazine editors for fear of loosing access to the great Avid, pie in the sky, US funny money, cash cow. We can only hope that at some point soon they stop printing money and giving it to Avid so they are unable to maintain the billion(s ?) dollars of debt they currently owe in order to continue propping up their position as the market "leader". It's a monopoly and there is very little that any of us Linux guys can do to fight it at the international mass marketing level. None of us have access to the kind of resources (ie a printing press) that Avid has. Just as a test, I setup a google newsfeed with the following terms: http://news.google.com.au/news/section?gl=au&pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&csid=7761883e5c5cb9b3&ict=ln ------------- linux audio, linux video, linux multimedia, linux software, linux audio development, linux music, music made with linux, linux sound production, linux music production, linux digital audio, linux audio engineering, linux radio, linux audio conference, linux midi, linux sound, linux digital audio workstation ------------- You can see the results for yourself at what kind of exposure there is in the mainstream media. It might be possible to poll/harass/promote linux audio with some of the audio -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd. |
