Woodinville, WA--LOUD Technologies, a developer and marketer of professional audio equipment under the Mackie, EAW, and TAPCO brands, has announced a cross-licensing agreement with Echo Digital Audio. Under the terms of the agreement, LOUD Technologies will license FireWire audio technology from Echo and Echo will license Mackie-branded application and plug-in products from LOUD.
As part of this agreement, Echo will begin bundling Mackie-branded software products with their PCI and FireWire devices.
