Svein said: Since this plugin in practice requires the use of a soundfield-type microphone, which is not really a mass-market product, I don't expect to recoup any reasonable wage for the time spent on it. From a customer's point of view, the price should be considered in relation to the cost of all the other gear involved - the microphone, recorder, computer, daw etc and the relative value added by the plugin. I think it's a good deal, but don't expect much sympathy from academia. and John Leonard said: Perhaps one answer to this is to offer academic pricing? This is what Soundfield does with the main SurroundZone plug-in, as far as I remember. When I was considering my purchase I wanted a more portable system to upgrade my PDAudio system. Soundfield has the hardware controllers and also the computer controlled mics. The SurroundZone plug-in for the SPS200 computer controlled mics is free and the system is very robust for field recordings(with the Zephix mount and windshield). I have between twelve and fifteen thousand dollars Cdn invested in the hardware so far. If this plug-in is compatible with Soundforge Pro 10, I would consider it a bargain -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
