Last night some of the members of the MPG (Music Producers Guild) had a rare opportunity to sit down with Bobby Lombardi and Tony Cariddi from Avid to share their views on various subjects.

In the words of MPG Director Mick Glossop;

“Frank discussions were held on topics including future hardware product development, i.e. Pro Tools HDX, the price of software upgrades, the lack of recognition by Avid of the special value of top professional end users, the lack of real functional improvements for music producers in recent software upgrades, and the parlous state of the Avid website, including the DUC.”

It was great to see Avid so open and receptive to this kind of event - Bobby took copious notes to report back with.
