My favorite part was the Vonnegut quote.<p>> I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.
Sonic Foundry had incredible products (Vegas, Acid) but they don't appear to have enjoyed the success they deserved? They have been acquired many times, once by Sony and then by Magic, and the most recent versions of the software are years old.<p>Yet these products are among the most stable and user-friendly that I have come across. It would be most interesting to read more about their journey!
Crazy that Soundforge was built with such a small team.<p>Playing around with Soundforge as a teenager in 1998 and looping samples together was super inspiring for me. Anyone could make professional sounding music from their computer, and using it also piqued my interest in building software.
