Sadie goes belly up

[Howard Jones]

Ensors Press Release

Administrators were appointed to SADiE, Studio Audio & Video Limited, on 15 February. The company, based in Stretham, near Cambridge in the UK, is a developer and manufacturer of PC-based digital audio workstation products and had been established in 1991.

Steven Law from accountancy firm Ensors was appointed Administrator to try to seek a rescue of the business. He said “Although we had to lay off the workforce upon my appointment, with the help of some former staff we are carrying on the business on a limited basis in order to fulfill customer orders. In the meantime, I am interested in talking to potential purchasers with a view to them acquiring the whole or parts of the business and I would urge any interested party to contact me urgently.â€

Yep. Known about this for over a week now. I started my sound engineer learning on a SADiE version2 system and followed it right through to its latest update in Version 5. This has got to be one of the best mastering systems around and damn good at the multi-track side of things as well. I hope they have some way of saving the company.

Cheers
