Digidesign needs to understand that this whole idea that LE=begginers and HD=professionals is no longer as prevalent as it was 6 1/2 years ago. Excuse me if I get flamed but their are plenty of professionals using LE just as their is HD users.
Digidesign needs to upgrade HD by making their cards extremely powerful, interfaces Top notch and make LE an HD "lite" type system that can be run totally native with PDC and other goodies. Or even by making LE resticted to its sub-par hardware, but enabling it to have ADC and PDC, they would sell more systems. And by upgrading HD with better interfaces and more powerful cards you sell more HD systems! If you make the software more attractive to the masses you sell more systems and slow the competition. Leave it the way it is and well............
on Pro Tools in the next generation. And Barry could you explain to me why some plug ins do not report the correct latency values in LE and which ones they are? This LE issue is a serious flaw and needs a revision....(Digidesign: 7.4.2!!!!!!!!!!) Wouldn't this hinder HD in calculating correct latency values if plug ins dont show the correct values in the software?
