Good question!<br /><br />I think your question is interesting aesthetically, because the shorter format imposes different constraints from the longer format -- and offers different advantages for the listener. <br /><br />When I was a kid, playing 45's was like being a make believe DJ. Albums were more about creating an atmosphere in my opinion. I sort of got pressured out of 45's because they weren't cool when I got to high school, but was that a good thing? Rather than seeing the two formats compete wouldn't it be a better world if both existed and were appreciated?Fred Deckernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913752433926766420.post-74348508244345948542013-01-01T22:29:49.343-08:002013-01-01T22:29:49.343-08:00Bobby: I did a quick Google on Avid and one of the...Bobby: I did a quick Google on Avid and one of the first things that came up was the Glassdoor.COM posts from employees. Gosh I have not seen posts from so many (post)employees complaining about their management lacking the vision or even have a feel of the industry. Sounds typical, a company which is maturing on its past glories. I've been there in similar situation... started one, left there etc. Also at the same time, they have alienated "home" recorders with very high price tag. I am sort of glad that I have chosen LOGIC now, even though there is some degree of evil in any one of these sort of things. Looks like a business chance to some startups!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180812103924119131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913752433926766420.post-47843610447097759342012-12-31T08:15:43.610-08:002012-12-31T08:15:43.610-08:00Avid got hurt much more on the video side rather t...Avid got hurt much more on the video side rather than the Digi side. Got their butts kicked by Final Cut for a lot of years, and now that FCP is vulnerable, they haven't been able to jump in to fill the void because prices too high and other good alternatives. <br /><br />As a result, stock prices go down, the board of directors gets nervous, the high-priced talented people get whacked, and the R&D budget goes down. <br /><br />In audio, the business has contracted and it's saturated so no room to grow. The majority of sales comes from people updating, which doesn't make for happy customers. Etc, etc, etc. The audio business is a tough place for a public company.Bobby Owsinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885584132164492190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913752433926766420.post-63874252764619527082012-12-30T22:15:13.628-08:002012-12-30T22:15:13.628-08:00Bobby: I was wondering about AVID.

So how is the money flowing away from AVID and to where? <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180812103924119131noreply@blogger.com
