Worst: Gigastudio 3 Ensemble


EDIT: Somebody down the list reminded me of a couple more "Best" items.

Worst experience this week:
Last Wednesday I ordered an upgrade form SONAR6 Studio Edition to SOMAR 6 procuder Edition for € 192
Friday they lowered the upgrade price with $ 100.
Haste is expensive!

Best(s):

-Yamaha NS-10ms-- No more running to the car to check my mix 10,000 times. I used to monitor thru some cheap PC speakers and would blow thru a spindle of 50 CD-Rs once a week.

-BFD-- no more praying that drummers will come up with decent beats. Hand them the CD and say, "These are the beats I had in mind".--FASTER and MUCH less aggravation; yeah, I'm impatient!

Worst(s):

-Korg Toneworks Pedal-- I liked the chorus effect on this pedal so much that I actually ended up buying three of these crap pedals over the span of 2 years (because the preset lock button kept breaking). After the 3rd time, I said "F--k it! I don't need my chorusing to sound that good!"

-Behringer Eurorack MX-something 16ch Mixer-- This SOB had 3 channels that would only work SOMETIMES. I eventually just marked the F'd up ones and used the others until I could get another mixer. Damn thing sounds like there's a fuzz pedal effect if you push the preamps up too far.

Worst:

Mackie Onyx 400F. Supposed to be new drivers real soon - finally - a farking YEAR after I bought the damn thing! I'll give Mackie a chance to redeem themselves.
Lexicon Core2. Drivers kept crashing my PC. Built real flimsy. What a POS.
Some Bellari tube mic pres. I shoulda known better than to buy a $99 tube pre.

Best:

Delta 1010. Bought it when I took the Core2 back in 1998 or 1999. Long time ago. STILL going strong!
UAD-1 (2)
Sonar.

ORIGINAL: Boogie

That's odd....I thought Intel released the Core 2 series much later than 1998 or 1999.

...shows what I know.

Best : SONAR, Project 5 & Dimension Pro, Tranzport, Pod XT, my Voxengo Plugs, TC Powercore card, Rickenbacker 4003 Bass, AT4040 mic

Worst : Gigasampler ( ugh ), Lexicon Core 2 ( double ugh ), Pyro ( granted it was version 1.0 but it NEVER WORKED EVEN ONE TIME ), every Western Digital Hard Drive i have ever owned ( they are ALL dead now. )

Worst purchase - Cubase Score for Windows. Never worked right and every patch made it worse. Studio Profiles Special Edition - not what it was made out to be. (Made good by the manufacturer.)

Best purchase - Cakewalk Pro 9 and above. EZdrummer. Sound Forge. Smartloops libraries, Groove Monkee midi grooves.

I was referring to this core2:



Thankfully, it was discontinued in 2001.

Yeah....that was my sad attempt at a joke. At least the NEW "Core 2" Intel products are solid CPUs with great performance. It would be a shame if the name carried bad luck.
