]]> Comment on MakeMusic Acquires Garritan…..still behind the competition by admin http://www.jazz-sax.com/2011/12/makemusic-acquires-garritan-still-behind-the-competition/comment-page-1/#comment-3385 admin Sun, 25 Dec 2011 06:56:20 +0000 http://www.jazz-sax.com/?p=4263#comment-3385 I found <a href="http://techinmusiced.wordpress.com/2011/12/25/the-strategy-of-makemusic-opinion/" rel="nofollow">this link in my RSS reader today</a>. Seems to hold some of the opinions I have on the whole MakeMusic buying companies. Lets go point by point. 1. I still don't see the point of buying Recordare. Sibelius, once upon a time, COULD convert Finale files into Sibelius. I think Sibelius knows it is ahead/has won the notation wars and simply doesn't care about supporting people who use Finale and want to convert their files into Sibelius. 2. Sibelius (Avid) doesn't need Garritan anymore. They have their own sound libraries acquired by M-Audio. In the case of Garritan, they lost a huge revenue stream. And they really are not a top notch player in the sample library wars. 5 years ago? Yes, they were. Now? No....with Kontakt going for so cheap and sounding better and better each release.....plus the plethora of other libraries out now. I think MakeMusic saw that if Garritan was going to be bought or go under, they would be faced with higher licensing fees. And Garritan pretty much needed someone to buy them. I still don't see Recordare as being a good buy for MakeMusic. Avid (Sibelius) could drop their support for it anytime. 3. Avid didn't need either Garritan or Recordare. 4. Ok, <a href="http://musescore.org/" rel="nofollow">MuseScore</a> looks good. BUT.....there is no support for it, and it probably will, at some point, be sued by MakeMusic and/or Sibelius for some sort of look and feel or some patent for something. And either one will if they see that they are losing customers to it. Then what? It's sort of like everyone say "This is the year of Linux". Still waiting for that......and pigs to fly 5. Totally. MakeMusic sounds for SmartMusic sound like 90s video games. Bad 90s video games. And they won't let you use Garritan sounds even if you own Finale. I'd HOPE they would include Garritan sounds, but somehow I don't see it happening. MakeMusic is really moving towards the MP3 of the song downloaded route.....for better or worse. The legacy midi type accompaniments will be phased out at some point I think. 6. There is NO sign at all MakeMusic is interested in tablets. Avid is. Other companies are. MakeMusic.....nada. Heck, I think for SmartMusic they should allow purchases and printing of songs in there. But no.....that isn't supported either. Another revenue stream and competitive advantage lost. Future purchases? No, what they need to do is get their Mac products into the App store. They need to do like what Apple has done with Logic. Lower the price and make it downloadable. SmartMusic needs to be fixed.....the interface is still horrible. Fix and refine their existing products should be the top priority. I found this link in my RSS reader today.

If you want to submit an article you can, and put the links in dropbox, I'll look at it....but I'm a little leery of just allowing stuff to be posted.
