Is there a DAW that is the most stable with the TI????

[hyper808]

I have tried the TI with both LOGIC 7.1 and ABLETON LIVE 5.02....and I keep getting issues such as notes drifting out of tune, messing up when there are a few parts playing etc...very unstable...usually crashes the TI and I have to start her up again......obviously, quite frustrating. I was wondering if maybe CUBASE SX (though I may go SE to first see if the VIRUS TI works well) may be better? I am running a Dual 2.5 GHZ MAC G5 with plenty of RAM. If it would only the work the way I can see it working, it would be amazing. I just hate my work flow being interrupted causing me to resort to my more CPU hungry soft synths. I hope 1.1 will fix all this.hopefully that is why they are taking so long to release it.....

Well, my TI was quite buggy and I returned it, but Digital Performer
http://www.motu.com has always been my sequencer of choice!
I know Motu and Access seem to be trying to work together.......

I've tried SX3, Ableton, and FL6 and they all work just as bad.

Despite the amazing sound, the virus TI is really an investment that I regret...I should have kept my KC.

I tried SX3, FL6 and Live as well and the same issues are surfacing.
I tried on different computers, with different components...But it's obvious: This product is nowhere near complete.


Really sucks.
I wish I could get a refund and move on :(

You know what....

Access may actually sort this out and most users have a stable setup. But in the long run its a battle that cannot be won. New products coming out all the, new operating systems on the horizon....its just ludicross. People who want softsynths should download them from kvr....ooops I mean buy them from Arturia and the like. Hardware synths should remain hardware.....hindsight is a wonderful thing....but Access are clearly struggling with this TI concept. All credit to them for trying to bring it to the market....but if I were them....ditch it....refund those who bought the Ti for the integration aspect...and diversify a bit. Apparently the Virus filters are classic and most people love them....then why the hell hasnt Access made a filter rack for under $500 yet? Come on.....get your priorities right....

Ive had the TI working here pretty flawlessly since 1.07. It definately had some problems in the first few OS revisions, but 1.09 is working a treat.

Cant wait to see what 1.1 brings.

Thats great, but are you likely to have it running just aswell in 5, 10, 15 years time? Back in the 80's and 90's when computers were starting to become legitimate music creation tools, I wonder if the designers (or public) for that matter, realised at the time that technology would progress at such a rate. My only concern with softsynths and the TI aspect is that one day it wont be supported and then you will have to resign yourself to using old (compatible) technology to use it. Some of the best features of the TI are only accessible via a computer....I really want to see that change. It all seems bright and wonderful now....but in 10 years time.....

Im a futurist....sorry about that....

God man, it will be up for sale long before 5 years are up, let alone 10! Get with the program man :) Trade it in for a newer model every so often (same rule applies for women!) :lol:

Dude, I think You NAILED IT. I could not have said it any better. 8) 8) 8) 8)

My view of integration is I want it in three places *only* at this time:

1. Mixer/DAW controller/audio interface - I love the way the 01x+i88x combo works (despite its quirks).

2. MIDI interface integration - design them for use with DAWs (ie midi timestamp scheduling support, act as hardware mtc/mmc distributors rather than requiring a DAW to send the clocks to everything.

3. DAW plugin panels (And I mean proper integrated two way panels like VC plugin - not one way device panels as per Cubase panels) - ie all the excellent patch editing management functionality of VC, but working via USB MIDI (and/or physical MIDI) and most importantly WITHOUT disabling the hardware midi ports (Yamaha do this as well with the ES rack - so it aint just Access).

I truly do not want in-synth audio integration (my sound card does this very well thanks) - maybe fine with one synth - I cant imagin it would be fine with 6 synths.

Actually I'll reprase that - I dont mind it (because I'm sure that others benefit from it greatly), but I dont want to *have* to use it, and certainly not at the expense of other hardware synth features; for eg lack of functioning midi ports while VC is active, loosing the internal audio aux bus functionality of the C. Nor do I want to have to make the choice between software integration and access to good editing tools and hardware integration via good old midi and audio, but without the tools.

I completely agree with you. Its also a concern I have about the audio Interface I use - actually - anything with a essential proprietary usb or firewire interface on it.

(By proprietary, I mean one that need special drivers rather than windows/mac built in stanard drivers).

im working ALMOST flawlessly in Sonar 5.1 --- for the most part, no stuck notes, etc. usb connection and 1/4" audio cable connected


reading a review (remix mag), i wonder if the hanging notes thing is a problem in the "true dynamic patch" allocation, since it would directly affect the way notes are dealt with?

of course, remix also says that theres 512mb of ram in there. is that even possible?
