I think back on all the time I've spent on this and the ridiculous amount of time trying to get shit to work (1000's of computers, and shit) and for what? To end up with a 60 dollar program that works the best

Anyhow, regardless of my ramblings it is terrific that you are liking your new host

I think sometimes people get caught in a technical trap. A problem is noticed and rather than working round it, numerous solutions are tried until everything is messed up. Then it becomes an impasse and stress city. Resulting in "I must have this working in the way I see it, I cannot do it any other way" Which is counter productive.

I think that is the problem

Well when you encounter crashes, you can't just ignore and work around them, especially when a key feature won't work or data is lost or corrupted. Sometimes the work around is ultimately getting a new host.

OR, every time to go to do something there is a ton of pesky issues and they have to constantly ask on the net, constantly refer to the manual (which can be hit or miss) and by that time you just give up

ive tried all hosts over the last 10 years and the 2 programs you can only rely on is reason and s1 ,period

I think that would be YOU find you can rely on, as others have completely different subjective experiences. Studio One is great, but that doesn't mean other hosts aren't great too, and many do many more things than Studio One.

It's partly subjective, partly personal, and partly technical. Not only does not everything not work the same way for everyone with seemingly kinda similar systems, it would be a miracle if they actually did.

I think generally speaking developers rest on the majority... knowing there will always be a minority with issues (subjective or actual). If the majority of people who actually want to use a product can't use it all, it will certainly fail in the marketplace.

None of them are doing that, failing in the marketplace. They're all working well for a rather large cross section of users.

I own (for example) products like Vegas that some others call extremely buggy, and it always worked well for me. I have to assume I'm in the majority because the product seems to be doing well.

It can be quite frustrating (been there a few times, I think we all have) to find something you really kinda like and for some reason or another, it just won't work well for you.

"You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time."

Three out of four is not bad.

Yeah, but it's very frustrating if you're number four.

Adobe Premier and I didn't get along at all when I tried it. Crashed every 10 minutes. It was a real "Sleprock" moment. I know (logically) that what was happening to me couldn't actually be the norm given the high success of that product... but it was still very frustrating because I really wanted to use it at that time.

Run Vegas on the exact same system with the same video files, smooth as butter. Go figure.

Once I kinda figured all that out (the randomness of some of it) I rarely buy any software anymore without a really long demo... to make sure it does what I need it to do... reliably... before plunking down any cash.
