I appreciate your and relaxo's "German" approach to things. I didn't used to, until I married into a German family. I once had a professor who was fluent in several languages. He said that whenever he was confronted with a technical problem he chose to think it through in German. Thank God we all bring different gifts to the table. The world would be rather stagnant otherwise. |

Re: So Digi, What is up with Structure ?
Heartfelt thanks to Relaxo and 25 Ghosts. Selfishly speaking, it's great having you guys in my corner.
I admit to a tinge of guilt at no being quite so thorough in my attempts and proactive behavior. Especially when the results are so spectacular. That slight feeling of regret has prompted others to post in a defensive fashion. That's my take on an otherwise inexplicable turn of mood. Last night I played.....for the first time in 2 years............my Sonic Implants Symphonic String Library in "Structure Free" And it sounded bloody great. Thanks guys. |

Re: So Digi, What is up with Structure ?
Hey guys - c'mon now, there's no need for name calling!
Let's be professional about this, please? You're all smart and contribute to the good of things in one way or another. Some are just more...vocal about it than others. I'd like to say a few things - first, we hear you loud and clear! In fact, there aren't too many things that we don't hear you on. If I can, again, step outside my 'official' capacity at Digi and give my perspective on things like this - I've worked at pro audio companies, distributors and done retail for long enough to see every side of the coin. The reality is that everyone is working with limited resources and trying to make the most out of them. That sometimes has harsh consequences - I'm sure you've all seen enough of the 'product announcements' happen and 6 months, a year, 2 years later they're still vaporware. The speed at which technology changes, at which prices change for components, at how quickly fabricators can come and go - all of this plays a huge part in what companies are able to do. There are often setbacks that can't be planned for - for every good idea that makes it to market, there's probably 2 or more others that were in various stages that get canned because they've missed the curve, the technology has changed or fabrication has to change so much that it delays the release or makes it a non-viable product. Throw the competition in there and a sagging economy, not to mention the actual pro-audio market is tiny in comparison to almost anything else and it paints a picture of what anyone in this market is up against. Digidesign is considered the 'big dog', yet we aren't even considered a 'large company' (which is over 1000 employees). We don't have unlimited resources - in fact, we have a bit less than we did not too long ago, as some of you may have heard. Anyways - my point being that we know about the problems, we are actively working to address them and, yes, there have been delays. We apologize for that. Just know that we aren't ignoring anyone, nor are we ignorant of what needs to be done. We're working on fixing as many things as we can, as quickly as we can and, hopefully, you understand that. By all means - keep letting us know what's not working for you, but please keep it civil. Deal? |

I dont think that I have ever done anything quietly in my life. I am a very emotional person. Be it when I criticize or when I praise. And I know that I do both. I dont believe in putting a lid on emotions as it will only cause a premature heart attack. At times I am wrong and at times I am right but I aint scared of facing the consequences and admitting to em. When it rains you get wet. That is, if you dare to walk outside when it does. That been said, I think this forum is amongst the best there is. And I dont think that a few cat fights, now and then are making a forum bad or unprofessional. Cat fights are a part of real life and it would be unreal if they weren't present on a forum every now and then, especially in our business where emotions are the sole spark for commencing the process of putting frequencies together into a song. If everyone would agree on everything, we would never advance. Yin and Yang

On the other hand, I have a rather pragmatic attitude in that we have the ability to do so much with very little investment. I think TOM@METRO pointed out in another thread the multi-hundreds of thousands of dollars one would have had to spend even 10 years ago to do what we can now do for well under $1k. And I think that's part of Ankeley's point - yes, there are problems, but in the grand scheme of things, we have it pretty good. I would agree, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't press for better...just be realistic and civil about it - and we'll try to be upfront about what's going on as much as we can. |

Re: So Digi, What is up with Structure ?
Oh, and as far as cat fights go - I don't think what goes on here holds a candle to some of the other forums I frequent...!
That's not a challenge, btw! |

As far as being civil. I think that opening up like you do is contributing to that in a big way. I remember some of my first posts here, some of which I am not proud at all, were based on anger towards prejudice that companies weren't generally listening. Learning is a part of life, which we never cease to do, hopefully and even cat fights contribute to that. Take Care
