Digidelivery..........Used it today, first time!
Well I got a chance to use Digidelivery today for the first time with a client in Canada. I have to say I was completely impressed by the performance and ease of use of the system. I have a DSL here at the studio in the L.A. area and digidelivered an entire PT session Folder with 1.3 Gigs in about 45 min. This thing was so easy to use and works fantastic! It's just a bit expensive! But I have to say.....Works like a charm!

I've had an LT server for a while now and had elements for maybe 30 or 40 shows delivered this way. I can't say enough great things about it.

I've had an LT here in Australia for quite some time now and it is brilliant! If only all computing servers were this easy to use, and this value for money! Now if only the access to the internet was just a little more affordable here..........

Since it's 3am, I can't sleep and I'm bored off my....
Does Digi pay you guys? Do they give you the gear? You sound like a bunch of paid plants..... with high post counts of course. Just wondering, not that I know anything about DD. I think I'd just use AIM.... |

You didn't answer my question.... You just again stated it works and then took shots at me.
As far as the tone, well, it was 3AM.... if you were insulted by a direct question I'm sorry. Would you care to honestly answer my questions? John |

Look at the Studio Website if you want www.trackdown.com.au to see what I do for a day job. And I forgive you for your tone as it was 3am in the morning but be careful what you post as quite a few people don't like having their opinions undermined for no good reason. I review gear for a large magazine here in Australia and I spend quite a lot of time comparing different types of gear, I chose Pro Tools and Digidelivery because they are well designed and well implemented. Period. If you don't want to take my word for it then that is your problem, certainly not mine. Simon L. |

1-Physical noise- This box has the loudest fans on the face of the earth. It is an absolute must to have a machine room to contain its outrageously loud fans. Perhaps in the future a larger case with some larger, low velocity fans. 2-With the addition of the Server to Server relay feature, there is less feedback as to what stage a delivery is in. Before the Server to Server function, a delivery would require the client software to receive a delivery which did give some (but limited) feedback as to the progress and speed of a delivery. This is only an issue if there is a DigiDelivery box on both ends. The Server to Server function can be turned off. Perhaps if DigiDelivery could send an e-mail when it negotiates a Server to Server connection with an estimated time of arrival and or a small application could be created to display connection conditions and estimated time of arrival. 3-In the extremely rare occasion that a delivery gets partially delivered but fails, it would be advantageous for DigiDelivery to have the smarts to decode or open a partial delivery, create a list of the files that didn't make it and allow the remaining files to be send again in a new delivery. Currently if a delivery gets 99% received and fails, you have to start over if it can't figure out how to recover. This is a very rare condition. 4-Forwarding - Might be nice to add a feature that would allow a received delivery to be forwarded to another Digidelivery server. This might be a feature in the GT server already, I don't know I have an LT server. 5-Alternate use -DigiDelivery would make a great temporary backup storage device. Please give it the smarts to track a session and back up at predetermined thresholds like Mezzo is supposed to. Then if sessions could be archived to multiple DVDs, life would be perfect. Since Digidelivery doesn't allow you to mix, edit, compose, or convert audio but just sends and receives files in a simple and elegant manner, Digidesign just got this box 99% right. There really is very little to complain about. I know that is counter to the fun that everyone has on the DUC. Sorry, it just works. Buy one and see. |
