I have to say - it's been running like a dream over here.
I've opened old 6.x sessions in 8 and it works. It's a bit of a hassle if it was saved on a different audio engine, i.e. saved on a native engine and being opened on a DAE engine. I had to copy the plugin settings for each track, switch the audio object from core to DTDM and repaste the settings, but voila: it was perfect. The Duende runs without any dropouts at all on the native tracks, and the HD plugins are, of course, spot on.
I like the automation, I like the sample-accurate audio editing (thank god) and I like the simplified design. The Instruments are capable of some very interesting things.
What I don't like - why can't I just drag a stereo file onto a stereo track without everything getting totally f'd? And WHY AM I NOT GETTING AUDIO TO MY DAE TRACKS FROM MY CONVERTER? I know it's just a "little switch" or "a preference" somewhere but what the f, man? I can't find it.
No crashes at all here. g5 dual 2.3 PPC, Pro tools HD2 accel, apogee da16x, ad8000.
