AES WRAPUP: The industry showed resilience in the face of economic uncertainty. Big companies took a hit, small companies were a hit.

AES WRAPUP: Lunchbox 500 series format provides an entry for smaller companies. Lots of innovative stuff, like XQP Audio's Disrupter.

AES WRAPUP: Hardware strikes back. No Steinberg, Cakewalk, MOTU, Apple, Ableton, Acoustica...only DAWs were from Propellerheads and Avid.

AES: I'll be on "the Great Audio Experience" panel at 4:30, room 122. Come on by and hear preview of 5.1 "Sketches of Spain."
