Would be better if they kept selling 9 to institutions that had made that investment. Don’t know if their offer applied to academic site licenses. They didn’t say. When ProTools came out with 9, did they stop selling M-powered? No. They actually care about people learning their software. People told me it was dumb to put Vegas in an academic lab. Yep.
Audition pre-sets are pretty lame, but if you learn to control all the adjustments, you can get good results… just takes time, and delicate adjustment.
