My relationship with Digidesign is like this: I spend thousands of dollars, and what I get in return is a mostly functioning recording system that does what I like 90% of the time. I have always been pro-digital and think that it is truly a powerful system for recording my own music as well as the bands I record. I really have not had any complaints. Every once in a while it gets a little weird, but in general I have had good luck with it. Then I have a night like last night.
