After long inhouse speculation Yamaha officially announced today that they will buy Steinberg out of Pinnacle. What a nice day today. Pinnacle mostly sucks and I was thinking about leaving Steinberg because of them.Now I’m feeling lucky and christmas could be much better than ever. The most exciting thing I heard today was that even Apple was one of the bidders for Steinberg. That would suck. Not that I don’t like Apple but that would have a bad mood after they had bought Emagic. One other bidder was Avid. Boy am I happy that they also didn’t won the race. They would kill Nuendo.
I think Yamaha will be much more fair to us than all the other companies out there. I doubt that they won’t touch us but I think that they will give us much more than Pinnacle ever wanted. So I feel happy and I will drink some beer.
