Re: With 8.1.1 BM has just thrown a very destructive blow to the entire C-grading business

are you crazy? who has that kind of cash to throw around? if you want to spend more money go and buy a base light or nu coda. if you wanted a cheaper solution i would go with the free version and buy my own panels...would be even less than 10k...maybe we can get the software for free when we buy a tangent eclipse or something. yes this whole free thing has really kicked up the game a notch but in the end its talent that wins out. sure we are all gonna lose out to the cheaper guys but thats just life. same thing happened in the audio industry but we still have big expensive recording studios. and some people still feel the need to use a post house for editing when others prefer to do it on their own with a laptop in the lounge. the genie is out of the bottle and now we gotta figure out how to deal with it!
