Yeah, you have a lot of knee jerked gear opinions, But I hold my fellow Nuendo
users to a high standard. When thoses guys go down that road, it's really
bad.

That place (Nuendo.com) Has turned into this PC-DAW torture testing Center-Site.
As Well As, complaint center,and the "IF anybody post likes form another
DAW, you're snarled at. Then there's the sarcastic stuff from Fredo..
