It seems like the Pro Audio market has had a tendency to be very
hardware-specific. The "consumer level recording" market has basically
been non-existent on the Mac. There's nothing good that doesn't cost a
lot of money or come for free with hardware that cost a lot of money.
Apple is basically filling that void with this product. If it pushes
the "big cats" to improve their features and usability, then that's
awesome.
Remember, they get to leverage CoreAudio, too. At least Apple's not
keeping the API private.
After waiting for 3 years before anybody even frickin' got a recording
app out the door for OS X, my allegiance to the pro audio companies is
pretty thin, and I'm happy to hear that Apple is giving the entire
segment a shot in the arm.
As far as I can tell ... this product is mostly all good news. Even if
it sucks, it will represent a the promise of what a consumer-level
recording app should be like. Not to mention a good target for reverse
engineering CoreAudio API usage :)
