The MIDI BEAT CLOCK needs more option ( to be able to desactivate the End /start continue midi message at loop point)!!! In loopplayback mode : PT8 can't sync perfectly a TR909 !!!!

It's really cool. I have a lot of bugs...I run an PT8 HD2Pcie Just want to add my proposal: A totally new workspace: With multisearch criterias, Favorites, tracks memories (not the "shift alt i" thing, annoying). Workspace is really to much wasted time as you compare to logic. Hey DIGI !!! What's going on?? Hello,

Just want to add my proposal:

A totally new workspace: With multisearch criterias, Favorites,
tracks memories (not the “shift alt i” thing, annoying).
Workspace is really to much wasted time as you compare to logic.

Hey DIGI !!! What’s going on??

I had moved to Live for a few albums just to get things running smoothly (was fed up with Pro Tools Buffer related errors) I have a new quad core mac pro now and generally speaking I am only using about 25% of my CPU and Pro Tools constantly craps out (with errors) while tracking. I used to Have an HD system on version 6x and it's really was no where near flawless either. To me Logoc and Ableton and way more stable. IF ONLY THEY COULD COMPARE TO PRO TOOLS IN TERMS OF PRO AUDIO FROM A MIXING WORKFLOW AND ENGINEERING STANDPOINT! Even if pro tools added track freeze that would make all of our lives easier. Digidesign Do you ever listen? - Track Freeze - Auto Delay Compensatiion (for LE) - Offline bouncing We have been asking for these features since version 5!

I wish I could agree with you. Ive hhad protools since 7.0 on multiple PCs and my new mac pro and as of yet it has never been stable enough to handle even close to what logic can handle. Other people say otherwise. I dont know why this happens to me but either way protools is just garbage (for me) when I have more then 1 or 2 synths, superior 2 and a few amp modelers running. logic handles it just fine....except logic can handle a lot more then that and do it without crapping out all the time. stiff.

Most DAW's crap out during the very first version of a major release. The safest bet is usually to wait for the x.1 update! dominic, it most likely will be.

I'm decided to go back to that. I can get more done. Ill wait for protools 8.1 and hope that one is more stable. just went back and used logic for the first time since 8 came out and realized that its 100 times more stable and can handle way more.

Hopefully that would mean (less) trouble-free operation for all users. One OS, one set of rules, one set of qualified computers — clean, simple, neat.

And indeed, many DAWs need to get their shit straight. There are some that are by far more stable than the others: I never had a problem with Reason but I haven't used it in a long time so I don't know how the current version is. The little I've used the latest FL Studio, it was rock solid even on a crappy computer. Ableton Live hiccuped on me one time (and by that I mean it gave up a high pitched noise basically but continued playing) when I had 5-6 instances of Omniphere and worked on three songs in one session at the same time.. Personally I feel Live should be the yardstick here. If Ableton can make something that stable, I think the rest should be able to do the same. Thanks.

I am in both camps now: my apple system runs flawlessly but the PC one is crap! Indeed unstable. So I agree with you on that.However I would like to say that protools is still one of the most stable programs around. Nuendo and Cubase can't touch that. Sonar is in about the smae league and Logic...well I don't know actually.:) But again: great review.... Hey Stiff,
