Allow me to echo both these comments. I too sure wish
more was being said about Medit's future , but alas,
there hasn't been that much. You look at the forums
and boy-- the dates tend to be pretty far back.
I'll keep using Medit as my tool of choice. Like both of you,
I have various ways of working around things, which for
the moment seem to be OK. And like you I have a pile of
the systems in various configurations.
I really wish there could be more development though,
also wish the i/o modules were still available.
As an alternative, wish the system could accept a
3rd party i/o -- even though still requiring Krystal
too. It would open the market to other serious users,
though would require some development of course.
Medit is simply the best and most intuitive way of working
for most all the stuff I do, at least for editing.
I even still run
a couple old ATDSP56 systems though most are Krystal, and most
still use the i/o modules since having 4 outs is often very impt
for me. Having more would of course be even better....
so would multiple simult. dig. outs. The lower samp rate
but 24 bit resolution is for the moment also OK for me, I'd
rank some other priorities ahead of bumping that up for
my needs.
But as an intuitive editing environment, it's the best and
I would be lost without it. Every other product I try seems
to reveal to me very quickly that it is harder to use for
a lot of tasks than Medit is, or just won't work as
intuitively, or has other drawbacks -- or all of that!
I would certainly be willing to pay some kind of annual
upgrade/maintenance cost if that would keep development
and refinement etc going and yield positive results.
Business in the NYC area has been off somewhat since
Sept 11. It's starting to pick up a little now, but December
and January were pretty bad -- clients' projects in the
pipeline seemed to really dry up.
Apparently wasn't unique to me-- all the other studios
I talk with and a lot of talent too have been pretty slow.
Of course, then when it gets busy again, you don't have
time to take on some stuff-- what else is new? Just
had to turn down a nice job for April because it wanted
to happen smack in the middle of another large one!
Oh well... this business has always been feast/famine!
Hope others will jump into this too.
