Heroics
why ? A good programmed "Tool "would not make problems ...imagine stuf flike this WOULD be in aircraft ?
starting to get my point ?
FLAWLESS software --is possible ...with alot of work only though
can you do it also ? I realy use alot of plugs ,and they all should work in sonar 64bit
But anyways ....good to read ....I now know what the issues are in X2 on my system ; P
Just a couple of thoughts to add...
- If it were developed for use on an aircraft it would be a LOT more expensive. It would be developed under very controlled processes and practices and undergo extensive testing. You won't find this level of development/testing rigor in a consumer product. It is way too expensive and takes way too long. The marketplace has determined what is acceptable. This is not a bad thing. If a DAW were developed under the same rigorous controlled conditions as that for the aircraft (medical, military, ...) industry it would be outrageously expensive and I doubt that many of us on this forum would have a copy. Again, the marketplace has determined what is acceptable. It is a balancing act. Too expensive = it won't sell. Too buggy = it won't sell. There are companies that go broke with either scenario.
- Keep in mind that even with all of the controls and rigorous testing of NASA software there have still been several notable and extremely expensive software bugs. I am quite sure no expense was spared during the development and testing phases but there were still problems. When dealing with complex systems it is extremely difficult to guarantee that there are no errors. Development tools and processes have improved tremendously over the years. For a simple system the tools/processes can guarantee no errors. Unfortunately for the complex systems (such as a DAW) that complexity makes it virtually impossible to deliver a 100% bug-free product . It has however made it possible to develop reasonably bug free products that can be sold at a reasonably inexpensive price that even a hobbyist can afford.
I don't want to start another endless debate over the possibility of creating bug-free software. I have never shared my thoughts on this in a forum before but thought I would chime in this time. Not to say anyone else is wrong but only to share my personal experience of almost 30 years of experience in software/hardware development.
We live a wonderful time for consumer toys. New software and devices that are inexpensive and fun (and sometimes when we are lucky even incredibly useful) are showing up at a rapid pace. The marketplace will determine when things need to slow down a bit and there needs to be an increased emphasis on quality. We see signs of that everytime there is a fumble by Apple with a new iPhone release or there is a huge recall. My 2012 Nissan Quest just had a recall to have new software loaded due to a bug where it would stop running under a certain set of conditions. Just a software bug. But it got through the development and testing processes.
