Subject: [vipaudioaccess] Fwd: a plug-in story with a happy ending
I'm forwarding this from the ProTools Access list, only because it's a plug-in
story with a happy ending! I have no idea if this affects us on the Windows
side of the fence at all. It's just nice to hear about companies who decide to
work with us, not ignore us.
