Re: [ARSCLIST] Restoration Software

[Brandon Burke <burke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

Forgive me if this comes across as snippy, because I really don't mean it
that way, but I could have sworn that Kurt's question was about software
programs and "not outboard modules".  I take this to mean a simple set of
plug-ins that one can incorporate into his/her current DAW, not an
altogether different machine -- and a $30,000+ machine at that.

best,
-- Brandon
