Launch Equity Acquires MakeMusic
Launch Equity Acquires MakeMusic:
Today, MakeMusic announced that Launch Equity will purchase the company. You can read MakeMusic’s press release here. Launch Equity proposed the buyout last July (July 15, 2012), with the intent of taking the company private and then investing money into the company for a new CEO as well as updating software (particularly Finale’s base code).

This is great news considering Avid is falling off a cliff and the development team of Sibelius was sacked and have started a new project with Steinberg.
However, this did crop up. Seems everyone isn’t happy about this.

FlutEase Kickstarter
If you haven’t browsed Kickstarter, you should. There are some interesting projects on there looking for funding. One that I came across is FlutEase. Looks like an interesting aid for people to learn the flute.
