Last research I did a few months back was that the Samsung pros were the top SSD drive out. Not sure how the warranties are. I run a OWC as my system drive... been running the same speed for the past 3 years. Yes, I've read that as well. It's probably why Apple keeps going to them for their SSD needs.

When they made it so that people couldn't use older plugins in PT 11 and then they started not supporting older hardware for PT 11 that could've been their nail in the coffin. They better get busy finding a free way for people to use their old plugins, and get off their ass and provide support to people that spent 10's of thousands on their hardware that they are saying they won't support. This pissed a lot of people off, including myself. If Avid wants to fix this, they need to create a temporary way for Rtas and 32bitAAx to work in PT11. Then they need to step up and provide support for all their products, older and new. Ditch the artist series crap and start making some gear that actually fells and functions like real gear. They relied on the plug devs to take care of all of this, and the ones people are using the most pretty much said screw you, we'll do it when we want. It's killing Avid. I think they were kind of damned if they do...damned if they don't. I believe they had to totally re-write PT11...and RTAS is just old technology. But maybe I'm giving them too much credit. Sadly, it's not a question of them wanting to, but a question of math. You need the type of virtualisation and real time conversion/translation of 32 bit code into 64 bit code. There are third party programs that do that. They don't do it well. So far the most reliable solution that anybody has come up with is to run the 32 bit programs on a different machine and send the audio over AoE to your host DAW machine. Both are unworkable solutions. It really is up to the developers to provide working updates of their plugins so they may be used in a 64 bit environment. We're getting to the point where computers wont be able to run anything unless it's 64 bit. Just yesterday, Apple even announced that they are officially killing off Snow Leopard, which is essentially their bridge OS between 32 and 64 bit (much like PT10).

I've loved Avid's products since the early '90s for Professional level audio and video post production. As a corporate entity though, I am continually amazed at the arrogance they display in their business. They can't do an audio product launch to save their life. They need a Steven Slate to wield a reality distortion field around their products and go full bore trying to sell them. Yes, in the post production biz, there really isn't another game in town (I am aware of Nuendo and Fairlight but the reality is Pro Tools' adoption rate in post is orders of magnitude greater than anybody else). I think they should either be sold or they should go private. The worst thing that could happen would be their assets being sold off piecemeal. Sadly, with PT11 and MC 7, they have their strongest offerings for post workflow by far. I just want it to remain that way.

I've been using an old 120 gig SSD for a few years now and it's getting a bit long in the tooth. The newer drives keep getting better (faster and more reliable), so I would spend the extra to get a current generation. I'm basically there myself, so let me know where you land on this. I'll make you my test case.

Nah, maybe we're just shy.

As somebody who loved the Liquid tech, I have to say the controller looks nice, and the workflow is well thought out, but the price seems to be a bit steep. I know that an audible groan will go up amongst all of us when I write this, but I'm a glutton for punishment just the same: I wish it had DSP.
Ok, got that off my chest. Now... what can I get rid of off my desk to make room for a Console One?

I once worked for a feature film mixer who would let an OCD director or producer write a fader move every once in a while to get them to stop nitpicking the timings of random transitions they get their panties in a bunch over. The Director would get so happy that they'd move on and we would finish the day. I've also seen an editor and post supervisor conspire to give an annoying producer with delusions of timing a 9 split to choose shots from.
The bad part of all of this is that these creative types walk out of these sessions thinking they can edit and mix.

Steven,
I know that this question/feature request may only service a small subsection of your potential market for this product, but we are used to paying premium prices for stuff. When doing ADR, there is always a bit of art in matching dialogue recorded on set in sometimes dubious situations with dubius signal paths and/or Gear. Would you ever consider adapting your system to model LAV mics and Shotgun mics (like the MKH60, 416 Schoeps etc) through the preamps on Nagra's, Aaton's, Fostex's etc... field series recorders?
Thanks
Aaron

I'm all in favor of Rule Number one.

Why is there no Post audio section here? I'd love to jump in more, but I live more in that world professionally.
