Funnily enough I held off buying my TI for the longest time because when it was initially released the RTAS plug in format was not supported & I use pro tools as my main DAW. With hind sight I should have held off about 4 years which is the time it took them to get the bloody thing working properly. I love my virus but access as a company...not so much.

My misgivings are actually with AVID and Pro Tools. Incredibly rude and elitist mentality customer service, if one could even call it that. AVID recently "divested themself" from all "pro-sumer" product lines to namely, M-Audio...they actually were shy of bankrupt and went through a reorganization that then sold M-Audio to same folks at that have Alesis and Akai...destinied to DJ gear and a slow death. AVID has lost alot of people to likes of Reaper because of the outragous priced updates and still 64 bit incompatibility issues, unless you are an HD user, and RTopriatorial format in which REWIRE only works under just the right and AVID Certified Systems. They may be "the industry standard" but think that will change rather soon beause with AVID no longer making any "MP Versions of Pro Tools", nor will anything Pro Tools 10 onward even be compat with "MP", they essentially have dusted their hands of the "pro-sumer" home-studio recording artists. Does not make sense because it's FROM the very "home studio musician" that the eventual "Pro" evolves from. My rant and I guess, Berni, I feel exactly the way you do about AVID as you do with Access. I am a video editing artist as well and AVID even cut their ties with the "Pro-sumer" in selling off AVID Studio this year. ADOBE has excellent customer service and frequent updates and like Reapr, those significant updates are free~!
