Hi.
Is it just me, or do we rarely see new things in the software-audio-world? I mean, I was blown away by cubase on an Atari - it litteraly changed the way I made music. Then came things like software effects that sounded almost like the ones I had to plug cables into (and pay a lot for). ReBirth changed the view on software, convincing the world that you could actually have copies of the real world on your desktop. After that there was smaller revolutions like AutoTune, amazing synthesizers and audio-manipulators, sequencers that allows you to edit material in details (timestretching, pitch-editing, audio-replacement, change timing etc etc).
When I have a look at KVR I see a lot of sequels, synthesizers in version 3, bigger sound libraries, improvement of old ideas.
Where should I look for the new stuff today? Or have we reached the barrier?
