Behringer DAW

[jens]

I wouldn't be surprised if Behringer changes course and adopts a non-popular DAW such as Mixbus, Internet Ability Pro, SoundBridge or MultiTrackStudio.

They should have bought Nanostudio2 when the developer gave up on it, it is so close to being the most intuitive DAW around.

lol... that one doesn't even have audio recording... what's the next genius suggestion someone is going to make - they should have aquired Babya?

I think the idea of developing a DAW that works exactly how you want it to work has a lot of appeal to a lot of folks. People sometimes do what they want without necessarily bowing to financial considerations. Believe it or not.

What does that have to do with anything?
Behringer does nothing, ever, without financial consideration.

Perhaps. Perhaps not. I don't see how spending a ton of time money on developing a DAW is going to reap them huge profits. And the comment was perfectly pertinent given the tack the discussion had taken.

I don't think their main focus is huge profits for their DAW, as it's more geared towards integrating into their Music Tribe ecosystem. Having an all in one solution that doesn't need the support of 3rd party developers to keep things moving along.

But, this might actually lead to long term profits, as people are allured by the free software, which could potentially result in additional products being purchased by their newly acquired customer base.

It makes for great marketing to bundle a free DAW with their hardware products, as many other companies do with 3rd party licensing or agreements, which could be costing them more money than developing their own.

I can also see this as building loyal customers, especially if their software integrates nicely with their hardware. Which would lead to eliminating having to support all those 3rd party issues.

i may not always agree with his methods, but uli has always stated he wanted to democratise music, giving those with less cash access to similar equipment as those with cash.

of course behringer have to make a profit, or they wouldn't be able to continue to do this, but that's the nature of a business.

and top marks to them for handing out free synths to groups in third world countries. not that im berating other companies for not doing it, but when each item is a top priced luxury, you can't really do this, so again this all ties in with ulis ideal, as going cheap means that's an option.

a free daw, is just an extension of the ethos.

Saying and doing are two different things, of course.
It's not always clear if the doing followed the talking.. maybe it did eventually

It doesnt have audio recording because he ran out of money, get over yourself

Double

So Behringer should buy his assets and do it for him, instead of coding their own vision from scratch because you would like that?

Maybe it didn't - Behringer are one of those companies who announce a whole lot of stuff quite early on and then most everything takes a lot longer to realize than originally estimated... and wanting to donate something like this is one thing, but to suss out where and how exactly and then organize all of that is another. When someone in the meantime makes a video about their unfullfilled promise and they later on fullfil it, that is not at all evidence that the video has got anything to do with their subsequent actions.

so let me rephrase it a little, then its a shame the drama happened.
