sound edit 16 was sweet

I am downloading this the second I get home.

A release of new Mac software designed solely for Intel Macs is not good news for those of us still runing PowerPCs, and there are a lot of us. I hope this doesn't become a trend. I wonder why Adobe didn't develop this as a Universal software application rather than Intel Macs only? And where is the Creative Suite for Intel Macs or Universal???? The heck with developing new software, lets get the old stuff up to speed first, huh?!!

We will probably see more of this, how much OS9 stuff is being introduced these days.

Actually, yeah, I think we'll see more and more of this going forward as software vendors leverage both their existing Intel codebase (from Windows) and/or develop cross-platform software on Intel for both Windows and Mac. That, after all, is one of the strengths of the new architecture, and while it certainly still requires a bit of work to take that codebase and implement on one OS versus another, it's not like they have to rewrite stuff entirely, which is a good thing.

I downloaded this and in 5 minutes I knew it was a bust. You must download Adobe score templates to make music, which fits in their clunky pre-baked structure. The best features of SoundEdit were ease of use and objectivity in relation to proprietary formats and corporate steerings. I'll give it 8 months - 1 year tops until another major software company releases a fully functional 'free' sound program, which renders this clumsy program obsolete. No joke.

yeah. many people running power PC style. soundedit 16 rocked it. nothing smoother has come up, and I doubt adode's bloated-ass software has anything good in store. by the way, screw software dev's that run amok trying to please everyone with too many features... let third parties decide what needs to get added. Make the software simple and quick (like ice cream, or basketball.)
