How many software similar to SAC is out there, if any at all?

Andrew,

In absolute truth, there is no software out there similar to SAC. You would have to another person similar to Bob - which is impossible! Bob is a "one off"

May I ask why? Especially on a dedicated product forum!

PS: No PM's huh!

"...this is what I wanted to hear show people..."...not sure what you referring to here?

Personally, I don't even think of changing to some other software, but people are asking me why I'm pushing for SAC, so I'm just curious if there an alternative, to do a comparison.

Andrew,

If there ARE alternatives - which, in truth, there are not...the only two that might be considered as alternatives are, 1) Harrison MixBus and 2) Audio Mixing Platform.

I guess it depends on how you interpret "software similar to SAC"?
I think that Waves eMotion LV1 is very comparable to SAC:
- It's designed specifically for live audio mixing.
- It supports the use of plugins.
- It's a "mix and match" solution where you can combine hardware from different manufactures.
- You have to build your own surface with screens and maybe a fader controller.

There are of course many small differences when it comes to the features in the software, but at least conceptually I think SAC and LV1 are pretty much the same.
LV1 systems are getting more and more popular where I live (Denmark), with both up and coming as well as established acts touring with them.
I actually smile a little when I meet someone with a LV1 system at a gig, because I used to be frowned upon by other sound engineers, when I turned up at a gig with "a computer instead of a real mixing desk", and now it's the hip thing to do :-)
