So far so good here as well. Nothing annoying that I didn’t find in the previous versions. Haven’t seen any graphic flickering yet.

First serious try on a brand new 13″ macbook pro/ 2×2.53 / 4Gb : LE803 works like a charm. Recording a 90 minute concert to USB on 88.2 was no problem. Also first serious try of iZotope Alloy : COOL.

good point, I only worked with musicians and artists coming from everywhere but ProTools, so I´ve seen no SDII files in the last 10 years.

I hope the MAJOR up their stuff, about time. And yes, discounts these days are more of a dualism than a bargain.

No no, I meant like graphic flickering. Sorta like what was going on in Safari before the last update to it and 10.6…..

>> “strange graphics flashing while in PT”

You mean the Avid logo on the startup screen?

n8tron: Yeah, I can see that happen if you don’t use the smart tool.

“DYSCODE : yeah, must have been a hard desicion to burry their long dead child ;->”

I know of a lot of Video Post Companies who kept working in SDII. What I don’t understand is that new version will convert SDII to WAV but not use SDII in session… Strange, because it DOES have the SDII codec, but it won’t support work with it. I think Digi is gearing up for a MAJOR overhaul…. Did you see how much discount you get on HD these days (up to 51% in the Netherlands.) ? I brings back memories on when I bought my Mix+ …. and saw HD in shops within 8 weeks……

I will definitely be using that edit tool locking mode. I don’t know why I have this problem, but when I quickly switch from one tool to the other (I don’t use the smart tool) I sometimes end up using the cut/grabber tool and end up slicing notes and not noticing it! It happens more often than you’d think. Glad they added this.

Seems pretty stable so far, but I did get some strange graphics flashing while in PT
