Allow me to backup Tom on this one. I started working with automation in 
1972 with an IGM that used IBM punch cards and a DEC PDP8. When we got the 
hard drives it was like something came down from the heavens. 7 Instacarts 
bays. 4 reel-to-reels for voice tracks. Sounded great! Took an entire room 
to house the sucker at CBS-FM in San Fran. I, like Tom, have worked with 
many of these beasts but I have to say (with 1100 hours since the last 
reboot and NO ERRORS at one station) you're throwing money down the poop 
shoot if you go for those expensive spreads. Oh I'm sure Audio Vault will do 
multiple background records and join 50 networks at once. Great. Who needs 
it? Those simple functions can be done with simple add-ons. It's the fact 
that this piece of software "out-of-the-box" sounds like any big time 
operation I've heard.

I'm NOT being paid by the author (Ross Levis) nor do I get discounts to rave 
on about this.

One more point. I played a few segues (over the phone when I was first test 
driving the software) for a friend of mine in Seattle who was the late Dr. 
Don Rose's producer/engineer for most of the time he was at KFRC. He said to 
me "I couldn't do a segue that tight". He was floored. This friend of mine 
is hard to impress.

Try it. You might like it.
