I'll assume you're talking specifically about audio productions here.

I'm sure if an official Made with Vegas forum *were* created, it would not be tied to the audio side and few music or audio producers would be impressed by a list populated mainly by video.

Alternatively if you mean this as a way for us to remind ourselves that we're not alone in using Vegas for Audio then I can see it could help to show support, but these days I'm not personally bothered about promoting, championing or supporting use of Vegas or Sound Forge and I know I'm not alone in this change of mood.

To me the forum idea is all about a "feel-good" relationship with the product and its manufacturer. But dealing with Sony these days really doesn't feel like dealing with Mackie or even Digidesign.

Gone is the time when I would be proud to tell people I *hadn't* used ProTools to make something which they said sounded great. Jaws would drop - people would ask "how??".

I now use Vegas simply because I am used to it and it works pretty well for most things - but it's not complete, there are too many workarounds needed and it's not developing in the way many audio users had hoped.

As such I don't feel any desire or benefit in "putting anything back in" to something of this type on a Sony site. It could look like I'm advocating use of Vegas - but I am already embarrassed enough about those I persuaded to use Sound Forge who are now telling me what "rubbish" version 8 is.

You were right about the "bad timing" I'm afraid.

Actually this allows entries made with Vegas, Sound Forge, and ACID.

Yes I agree with drewsonix on every point. I've been involved in and produced award winning music using Vegas, SF, Acid & CDA (basically the only apps I use). I also will continue to use them for exactly the reasons drewsonix stated, but I will not under any circumstances participate in anything that could be viewed as promoting these products any longer.
