I'm a self-trained music producer and tech enthusiast who's looking to make the most out of the gear already owned.

~~The article on~~ [[Avid Technology]] is ~~important since this documents the issues with~~ Avid, ~~the industry titan~~ in the ~~pro~~ audio and ~~video space~~, and ~~helps to bring awareness to their business model~~ and ~~organization as~~ a ~~company~~.

As a music producer I find it important for any audio enthusiasts to be informed about audio companies which have done harm to consumers. [[Avid Technology]] is one of those companies. The products that Avid makes are fantastic. As a company, they need to do better, but oh well, private equity always gets around. There are so many audio conglomerate or private holding groups out there. Here's a list of as many as I could find:

Yeah. Pretty soon all of these companies will be under one mega-conglomerate of music and pro audio industries. That would be a fun time (Sarcastic).
