If I had to guess, I would say that between Macromedia and Bias that it sounds like they did basically two things: 1. add support for a few newer audio cards, and 2. " plugin formats. Not revolutionary developments, but perhaps useful to some people, if they work. What I read (on Sound on Sound maybe) was support for some DSP on the Korg 1212. I don't have a 1212 but soon after that was their Oasys PCI which I do have, and love. This is daydreamy fluff but I wonder if Deck can do DSP on the Oasys also... Probably not because I am sure I would have heard about it. >sigh
