Re: Control surface rumor.....

i agree with jonathan, if BMD were to do anything with Avid, PLEASE buy up the DS code. i used DS for the last 9yrs on some of the biggest projects, but the toolset has fallen so far behind. i made a switch to Autodesk Smoke last year. That being said, BMD DS would surely be Innovated immediately. there are so many things that could be fixed/enhanced/added in short order that would make it a viable platform again. Adding support for BMD cards would be a good start, esp since Composer and Symphony now run on those. XML support. 16 ch audio support. I'm not talking earth shattering things here..

As well, BMD doesn't have an editing platform of their own. DS would be a huge jump into the pool..

WOW. the possibilities would be awesome knowing BMD's track record...
