Default Re: Is Digidesign Smug?

I've heard a lot of complaints about Digidesign. Arrogance, software that requires tons of patches, stuff just not working. I finally went and bought a digi 001 system, and I must say this is the FIRST application I've ever bought that won't even launch. Oh yea, I followed the manuals exactly. And my computer runs perfectly with demanding programs like Final Cut Pro and Photoshop. Nice product Digi!
I, too, bought a used 001. I took it out of the box, installed ProTools, and everything came right up. I was recording in 10 mins. My mac is a 466 MHz G4 "digital audio".

I have read elsewhere on this forum about compatability probs with some older Macs, specifically the "mirror door" designs. Maybe that is what you are running into. If so, it's a Mac issue, not Digidesign.
