Regarding Ceres SoundStudio... though we have no knowledge
as to the company's status, in viewing the German website,
we have noticed that the site is dated 1996.
In searching HitSquad, a version (2.0) of SoundStudio for
OS/2 was found, dated April of 1998. The URL is as follows:
http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Ceres_SoundStudio_os2/
It seems there has been a release for OS/2 almost two years
after the German site in question was last updated. Thus,
their commitment to OS/2 probably isnt in question, though
their continued existence perhaps may be.
Ceres' US site has actually been down for quite some time,
and may be no indication of their demise or commitment/lack
thereof for OS/2. In checking other sites under
HitSquad.com, we've found home pages listed when known -
while there is none listed for Ceres. Though this is
guessing, perhaps that is because though they are still
working on SoundStudio, their site no longer exists. This
would coincide with the recent release, and lack of a site
for a number of months.
Though this post still leaves a lot of questions, it does
at least answer the question of their commitment to OS/2.
As for SS/2 itself, it is an excellent app that performs
relatively well in our experience (other than a quirk in
the "fade out" function which "fades in" instead). We have
used it to edit single track 72 minute mixes without error
or incident.
Our best,
Robert
