Re: Timing and dropouts DP11/AS
Depending on your needs and work flow, you will now go waste some time with some other DAWs. YMMV
That was my experience (a couple of times)-- try other DAWs, come crawling back, tail between legs. " Sorry I doubted you, MOTU."

"Your Mileage May Vary"
Mine certainly has... pre-gen allows me to run many more VIs than I could with earlier versions of DP. The one annoying thing about pre-gen, the delay associate with record-enabling different VIs, is addressed by Live Performance Mode, and most reports suggest it works as intended.
When someone makes statements like yours oshtkuta, I always wonder how it is others somehow manage to get work done... is it possible there are issues in your system that need to be addressed? Regardless, here's to The Dream of DAW Nirvana!

Re: Timing and dropouts DP11/AS
It sounds like you heard what you wanted to hear. I can't imagine MOTU promising to fix anything, much less everything. But honestly, I hear your frustration and most of us have been there. So before you start breaking our balls, we're here, we're reading your posts, and honestly we actually do give a $#!+ about you and your issues.
I will also say, if you can do better in some other DAW then you should DEFINITELY go to that DAW and never look back. And if you want to leave an all caps note here to say "so long suckers", you can do that, too.
If you later decide that reezin' ain't doing it for you, and then the next one, and then the next one, you can come back. We're here for you-- even if you are pissed at us at this moment. But seriously, and sincerely, we all understand you want to be making music and not dealing with headaches. And you've had some headaches. Those headaches could well be MOTU's fault. No DAW is perfect, no developers are perfect. And some users have a worse experience than they should. And that is frustrating as f**k.

Re: Timing and dropouts DP11/AS
Perhaps some of the increase in tension in this thread is because of things that are lost in translation.
DP does not work well for you. It may be entirely MOTU's fault because this version is new and has bugs. Or it may be because of some problem that has existed for a long time that MOTU cannot fix or will not fix. Or it might be that there is some aspect of your system that causes a conflict.
I have had very crashy experiences with DP and it is possible that this is caused by other software that I have installed. It is frustrating, and I've learned to save often. Sometimes I lose work. I have learned to use other methods and avoid problems. I think that is how it is with almost ALL software that I use. I find ways to work with the software and avoid what causes problems.
I have tried to type this post in a way that Google translate will understand.
