All user reviews of 1/5 for the Digidesign Pro Tools M-Powered 8

- Installation is it done without problem? Yes but will not help me much ...
- Have you encountered the incompatibilits? No ... Not normally after the Digidesign website and yet it does not work.
Digidesign dictates its law imposing a ridiculous list of compatible hardware even in runissant all hardware requirements several forum users encounter a CPU overload that makes using Pro Tools impossible. For example: 60% of CPU load on a blank session. No need to explain what happens when loading plugins 1 or 2
- Is Gnrale configuration is easy? Yes but made me look good
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ... For now I do not feel like even leaf through?.

ADQUATION / PERFORMANCE

P4 3GHz / 2GB DDRII / 2 SATA drives I (Including one ddi Pro Tools recording, CG Ddi PCIe, M-Audio Profire 610 (Compatible only Pro Tools 8 ... not the opportunity to work on the 7 esprer use my "new" squenceur)
- The software works he correctly on this configuration? Not
- What performance? (If quantifiable) HELP (60% on a blank session)

NOTICE GLOBAL

- How long have you use it? We can not really speak of "use"
- What is the particular feature you like best and least? The squenceur yet has allchant air but does not work. One point that seems impractical is not being able rgler the buffer size in the squenceur directly.
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir? No ... I should have.
- How do you report qualitprix? Price is one of the most interesting but if you CONSIDERED that it is unusable is theft.

Besides apologizing is not really feel they are working on it.
May be on the pretext that it concerns only a small part of the community?
It tells us nothing, and I feel that it will always returned the same
Some users do not use it for nearly 6 months ... from purchase. I expected more srieux and reliability from Digidesign and it's probably under the impression that I chose Pro Tools rather than another.
What I find appalling is that other sequencers are not as demanding on the configuration matrielle and walk much better. Or do not put 6 months correct such problems.

So okay I'm a small% of the Pro Tools community encounter this bug. You decide if you want to take the risk or not because it will be impossible to get a refund once the product dball.
