No, just kidding.
But I would like to know why these forums have been so silent as of late about audio features...
It seems that people will ask about a long overdue feature or a GUI request and then get.... silence. However, whenever there's an easy answer, such as:
"how do I turn down the volume for all the events on a track at once?" or something like that then there's immediately a response.
Is Peter the last Vegas guy still on the audio forums? Thank god he's still here, but how long is it before we lose him? What happened to the other Sonic Foundry guys who pioneered this program to awesomeness with Vegas 3 and 4?
If audio R&D is over and done with for Vegas, then I feel like people should at least be up front about it. If features are being held back for a multi-year time release, then I think someone should at least let us know not to check back for another two years.
Bottom line is this: clearly there have been some die-hards on this list for more than a couple of years-- rraud. CDM. Chienworks. Ben. If you go far back on the threads a couple of years to Vegas 5 you'll see a lively back and forth about Vegas and an excited/expanding user base for audio. Flash forward to now, and many of the same questions about the upcoming Vegas 6 are still being asked. What I want to know is... when Sony bought the company, we were promised that the same enthusiasm for Audio technology would remain with Sound Forge and Vegas... has there been some major shakeup? Why the silence on new audio features?
I'm sure we've all done our share of "suggesting a feature" through multiple different channels and have been uber frustrated by hearing.... nothing back.
So here's my proposal. Why doesn't someone at Sony let me know how much development of BWF write and or OMF support would cost. I will personally take up a collection to see that happen. Or if some of the Vegas 9 wishlist features have been nixed for whatever reason, at least make a response like
track freeze- nope, never gonna happen because developers think it's dumb
folder tracks- maybe
bwf- version 10 perhaps?
audio-suite like tool- in the works
etc... so that we don't keep hammering about the same things over and over and over. We're audio professionals and we feel that Vegas (PRO) should cater to us. I'm going to use the product as long as I can.... but the demands of the business are beginning to push the capability envelope of Vegas, and I don't see enough signs of Vegas not only catching up but pushing back to the front of innovation...
