There are problems to be sure with the TI. My particular issue was with the fact that it doesn't work at all however, I do like the sound and functions. I do not need multiple sequenced tracks because I don't sequence everything. What I do want however is to be able to access every parameter on the machine. That is not so easy without the software part. Furthermore, I just purchased a new system using pro tools because it talks well to the music community. I got Pro Tools 10, that is what is being sold now and besides, the new computer has Lion and needed it to some degree though it could have been dealt with. In any event I asked Access whether PT 10 and Lion were supported. They did not simply say "NO BUT WE ARE WORKING ON IT". They avoided the whole issue with basic BS that sounded suspiciously like "we don't care or too bad sucker". I confronted them, viciously, through email of course. The disabled my email account and refused to allow me "ACCESS" to the downloads. In fact I could not even register the product and they advised I return it (something the store was not happy with). So it appears to me that, like any manufacturer, their goal is to sell product, whether it works or not as intended is up for grabs. I liken it to going into a tire store and telling them you heard that a particular set of tires were great. The guy asks what kind of car you have and you tell him, a Honda Civic. You then ask about the cool tires which it turns out are for an entirely different vehicle HOWEVER the salesman justifies it by thinking that if you change the rims also you MIGHT get them on your car and sells them to you. He does this while smiling away and being oh so gracious. You discover this and go back and curse him out at which point he says you are rude and obnoxious and are banned from the store. Now I'm no criminal however it seems to me that merely kissing someone while you rape them does not turn the act into seduction. It is still rape.
