Re: [AV Media Matters] AES
How does it perform against CEDAR & Sonic?
Joe Salerno
Moderators Comment:
I think that there are other people here that are better qualified to answer
that - one in particular was a real Sonic devotee. As I mentioned it is just
being installed today, and what a demo does and what it does in the real
world are often different. I will ask some people around here to be thinking
about this question over the next couple of weeks and I will get back to the
list after we have some experience.
