Post by jon9091As I said. Neither of the examples you mention were original
ideas of Steinberg. Both of these exact same things are
already in, and have been in Digital Performer for quite a
few years. Not that I wouldn't mind seeing them in Logic in
some form or other, but let's give credit where credit is
due. It certainly ain't Steinberg.
My point was not who invented these features, but who's got on and
implemented them in a mainstream, fully supported and evolving application.
Which egghead in in which lab thought them up first isn't really an issue
for most of us, the issue is whether our application of choice is keeping up
with the competition and providing the functionality the market requires and
demands. I'm giving credit to Steinberg for developing an evolving and
fully supported application, which is offering cutting edge and highly
desirable features before most other applications. Unfortunately DP doesn't
seem to be receiving the support it deserves and is becoming an increasingly
niche product - irrespective of it's own qualities.
Emagic did not invent plugins (which Logic now supports), was late to the
table with virtual instruments (which it now supports), just about provides
plugin delay compensation (which it borrowed from elsewhere) and Logic has
copied poached and plagiarized numerous other applications throughout it's
life. All DAW software has done the same (can't believe SX finally supports
Logic-style snap - how long have ex-Logic users been begging for that?!!) -
and will continue to do so.
It just happens that Steinberg seem to be consolidating a lot of innovative
and in-demand features and functions into one application - irrespective of
whether or not they invented them. Unfortunately I personally still fear
for the stability of Steinberg products, especially on Mac, and am prepared
to wait for Logic to catch up. Others may feel differently.
Not saying we should all dump Logic, just giving Steinberg some props for
implementing some great features most Logic users would love to have.
