I have been experiencing Allot of issues with this machine and protools since I bought it. This is back when my thought process was " Its expensive and powerful so it will do the job flawlessly" lol.. haha Live and learn i guess.. Now im starting to understand how specific things must be with a protools machine. Long story short here is my sandra report and i would appreciate it if one of you Gurus will give me and idea on what to replace or if i should just build a brand new machine Thanks in advance. ( im slowly going crazzy over this haha)
