--------------040608010408030501010608--One thing to consider... in the last 3-4 years, Mackie has moved
manufacturing to China. This means that the RCF drivers and Italian amp
module that were once used in the '450 have been replaced with Chineese
counterparts that are of lesser quality... I know, I used to fix those
as well... (no longer sell or service Mackie products)

>Hi Lamont,
Yes the Nuendo forum has become that. Fredo is a nice guy in person but
does come off bad sometimes on the forum. But I think any one would have
a tough time being a forum moderator there at this point with some of
the people on there. Most everyone actually offers help have either left
or just stop posting in fear of the people with the personal vendettas
against SB or someone at SB. I really think they need to do 2 things.
Crack down on some of ht the bully types and have more direct Developer
communication rather than having spokesman do the communication.
Of course they also need to have a better manual and better online and
phone support but it seems like all the software companies suffer from
that. Steinberg's main bad habit comes from the lack of communication
rather than out right false or misleading information at least.

That's wacky. I bought a DVD player/vcr combo @ sams/costco last year for
49 bucks and it has a tuner. Maybe they went for more cost savings and started
eliminating the tuner, but I don't know how they could get any cheaper.
