new product just announced:
Vegas 4.0+ DVD
http://www.sonicfoundry.com/products/vegas4-cs.aspjust looking at the FAQ. there is a Beta version available. looks like you have to use their files to test compatibility with your system. not a fully functional Beta Version.
also, the price looks to be:
* The MSRP for Vegas 4.0 is $699.95. However, it will be available from Sonic Foundry for $489.97 as a download (30% off), and boxed version for $559.96 (20% off).
* Vegas+DVD will MSRP for $999.95, and be available from Sonic Foundry for $699.97 as a download (30% off), and boxed version for $799.96 (20% off).
UPDATE: we're back to square 1. this is no better than Disc Welder Steel. however, the price is dropping on DW Steel AND DW Chrome! Chrome is said to be down in the $1,500.00 range now. pass the hat boys?...
thanks to Marc Nutter and Sonic Sense for the info.
