If anyone is writing that this is no big deal, that NI will be fine, they don’t know what they’re talking about. NI is no longer in…Read More

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but I posted in the Plugin Alliance Audiophiles group that head of Plugin Alliance (Mo Valens) and various top execs at NI are in to address Mo Valens “business as usual” statement that I wrote about earlier. Here is my post in its entirety:
