Sound Forge coming to the Mac

(I wonder if Vegas will make an appearance at some point. That could be interesting...)

Some years ago I was taken to Sony Weybridge for one of those "don't tell anyone" demonstrations. It was a vision mixer (switcher), and they were terribly proud of the way it integrated with Sony linear editors, and that even the numbers on the wipes were the same.

This was at the point where we were just beginning to leave linear editing behind, and we hadn't done a wipe in years. Very similar to the current situation, really.

[Walter Soyka] "don't think you'll find too many posts like that at all."

I was being cheeky. Obviously if software is going FROM Windows TO Mac, it was PC only originally.
That PC developers are looking at the Mac though is a sign that the Mac creative market is worth pursuing though. It's noteworthy that Sony is doing this. I suspect this is due to Apple's strength in the portable market.

[Michael Gissing] "Knowing a lot of music people who are existing Mac users, this is just Sony finally catching up with a request that has been around for a decade"

It might be hard for people in an FCP forum to picture, but I started working with the then-Sonic Foundry guys and Vegas when I was at Boris around the turn of the century, and *I* heard requests for Vegas and SoundForge on Mac nearly every day. I can only imagine how much of that Sony has been hearing.


[Michael Gissing] "I also expect Sony to have an Android app as well."

The more the merrier, man. I'd love for everything I want to be everywhere I want it.
