I would agree. What I don’t understand is WHY??? The manufacturer is the best qualified to do it. They’ve already got the cameras rolling for the promo videos they use to attract buyers, and we’re willing to pay for it!
What could possibly be the down side? If the DAWS are selling at $500 for Cubase and $1800 for Nuendo and they charge an additional $75 (download) or $125 for a complete Owner’s Manual DVD, how many millions of dollars are they just throwing away? How much less of a strain would that put on whatever the hell their “calling” a product support department? How much easier would it be to build up brand loyalty with an educated set of users who could better help them continue to improve the product?
Seriously, what am I missing here, besides the information I’d really like to buy? Wouldn’t you buy one IF it were available?
