I was curious if you might know the answer to these questions. Before I purchase StudioRack I just wanted to get some additional information about the app. 1. Is StudioRack an upgrade of CastBlaster or a completely new replacement product? 2. I noticed StudioRack is up to v .08 for StudioRack, and I was curious if this product is still being worked on and development of StudioRack is continuing? Posts in the StudioRack forum don't seem to be all that recent. So, I was curious as to the current state of development. 3. How often might I expect upgrades and/or updates to be made available for StudioRack? 4. Does StudioRack provide a quick response time to support questions? Meaning, if I experience any issues in the future or questions, etc., is there someone available to help (quickly) in the forums? Is this application (StudioRack) something that I can expect to be around and under continuous development for a long time? (Note: I just don't want to pay for a piece of software that will be discontinued in the near future and no further developments will be made and no support will be available for the product. So, this is important to me. Due to the history of CastBlaster, I'm a bit nervous to jump into StudioRack) 5. Is StudioRack still in BETA? Or is this a formal release? If it's still a BETA, when do you expect them to put out a formal release? Do you have any idea? 6. If I purchase StudioRack now, will I have to pay for any updates or upgrades in the future? Do you have any idea as to how they handle or plan to handle updates/upgrades? 7. Does StudioRack also work with Windows 7, and will it work with newer operating systems for the PC? 8. Does StudioRack use LAME MP3 Encoder? I heard Cliff Ravenscraft (Podcast Answer Man) talking about CastBlaster and how it didn't handle the quality of low bit recordings very well. He was saying that he had to reprocess his low bit recordings before bringing them into CastBlaster because of this and I was curious if StudioRack had the same issues? Can you explain about this and these concerns? Thanks and I hope you might be able to reply to these questions. Thanks, Gary Hi.
