Agreed.
It is utterly depressing that in the year 2011 -- the only material differentiator between MC and Symphony is still Advanced Color Correction and Universal Mastering.
It is also utterly depressing that in year 2011 -- both of these platforms are still wallowing in obsolete toolsets that are over 10 years old. I mean -- really -- what other software company is selling 10 year old functionality?
I won't go into the gory details of what is wrong with these two products -- except to say that if Avid is unaware of their shortcomings-- we are all in deep trouble.
What I will say is my opinion that there is simply no reason for these two products to not be merged into one.
And for that one surviving product to have herculean developmental resources thrown at it -- to overcome the past 10 years of squandered opportunity -- that would have allowed Avid to be an innovative leader -- and not an embarrasing follower.
