Yea, but back then Mackie WAS the Avid. They were immensly popular, far more than Digi was at the time and Mackie had the small / project studio crowd wrapped around their fingers.

Also understand that Avid is out for Avid.
Just like Presonus or any other hardware/software manufacturer is out for themselves. So their main goal in life is to sell product. They don't care about Reaper, Sonar etc.

I'm not saying EUCON won't end up being the new standard, what I am saying is that in my 40 years in this business I have heard this kind of stuff a million times already.

Dolby A
Dolby B.
El-Cassette.
DAT
Dolby C
Dolby S
Dolby SR.
dbx
Various stuff by MXR.
ADAT
+4 - 10 - 20
The list is endless.

I'm all for a standard however when a major software company is involved, be it Avid, Steinberg etc I get worried.
