Sometimes, it is the other way around.   I am also an audio guy, and it 
used to be that the best two track audio editor was Cool Edit.   Adobe 
bought it, and killed it.   Luckily we have Audacity (works in a similar 
way) to replace it, so now the best one is freed, not shrunk.  Also, 
since it is open and the code is out there, it cannot die if someone 
buys out the developers.
