AES -- where was Vegas? Algorithmix

Hey, so I just went down to the AES convention in NYC, and didn't see anything about Vegas there...

Where were they?

As a subnote, I checked out Algorithmix's RENOVATOR suite and it was really awesome! I asked what it was compatible with and the developer (who was there) told me that it worked with "Sonar, samplititude, pro-tools, cubase, adobe audition, pyramix..." When I asked why he didn't write something for Sony Vegas, he replied "I approached Sony by email twice about incorporating Algorithmix plugins into the program and got no response both times." What's that about?

It's not clear if it needs specific integration, or whether it can operate as a plugin, in which case it *is* integrated with all applications that take DX or VST plugs.

But Vegas isn't naturally the sort of app where this suite would be designed for - that's more a Sound Forge sort of thing, to my mind ....

I don't see why Vegas shouldn't have high end audio plugins for it!??

I DO still wish to use Vegas as a high end audio editor...

Algorithmix makes plugins for pro-users. I'm sick of people at AES and elsewhere telling me that "Vegas is for the consumer base, because they don't support pro-level functions." You have no idea how many times I heard that at.

Then again, where was the representation at the convention?

The work around I use is to edit a clip in an external editor. Right click a clip and select "open a copy in audio editor"

I use Wavelab as the audio editor. Wavelab has a basic spectral editor from Algorithmix. When I spoke with Algorithmix at last years AES, they told me the purpose of the spectral editor included in Wavelab is to make you want to buy the full version.

But I have found what Wavelab has to be sufficient for most tasks. Spectral editing is an absolute must. No pro application sould be without one.

I have not tried this yet, but there is a $50 VST spectral editor. http://www.stillwellaudio.com/?page_id=32
