It's the most money I ever spent on software. But what Andre is doing, will eventually catch on. The price is a big turnoff. But I remember when Emagic had you buying their add on instruments for $200 a pop. That turned into an expensive piece of software. Apple could afford to buy it, through everything together and cut the price in half. I think what Andre was doing was very clever, he priced it high, cause he needs the $$ to keep going. And it turned off all but the most enthusiastic users out there. People post their results, complaints, suggestions, and these are incorporated quickly into the frequent updates.. Andre even wrote a device list for my Tyros 4, personally cause I was stuck.. Not since the Emagic days of early 90's did the company know the names of some of their customers.

All I'll say to Andre Schnoor, is ... PRICING. Watch the pricing, don't make the software so dear that none can afford it. That's the reason, I haven't bought it, after my demo expired, way too expensive. Love the software, have the demo and expired. All I’ll say to Andre Schnoor, is … PRICING.

I'm not aware of this software but I'll check it out. It's great to hear Band In A Box mentioned, as I hadn't heard about that program in a long time. Band In A Box was the first music software I ever used, on my Dad's mac classic since I was 12, running midi out to a yamaha MU5 GM module. Then with PCs and early versions of Cubase, exporting midi files and recording guitar layers on top comprise some of my fave teen memories. A modern counterpart to that which encourages new ideas and development sounds extremely interesting. Great interview. I’m not aware of this software but I’ll check it out.
