I have no affiliation with SSL whatsoever. I'm just tired of the bad rap this great product gets. Some are valid complaints - yours appears to be - but many are simply unjustified stabs, for several unjustifiable reasons. Jim, the tech dept., the sales guys - they've all been great. The plugs sound excellent and their track record for add-on plugs is solid. I love the X stuff.
The problem with forums like this is that praise, when deserved, rarely makes it to these guys. I think they deserve some, even if the almighty dollar happens to drive their company. If you read these threads you'd think that the majority of Duende owners are having major problems. I know that to be false, it's purely a matter of what type of posts make it to this forum. Content customers are the quietest, busy working. There's also a huge group of confused hobbyist who load their systems with FW devices and other hardware or software giz which makes Duende communication impossible. Who gets blamed? Yep. |
I don't think that users who are experiencing viable problems are exactly "bad rapping" the product! They just ask that the product they paid for works! Where's the "bad rap" there?
As far as your allegation regarding "praise" is concerned, I have read plenty of accolades showered upon manufacturers here at GS, including SSL!
Your third contention, or should I say assumption, is absolutely ridiculous! Are you actually intimating that "high end" gear used by those "content" users who are "busy", never experience problems with their "esoteric-exclusive" gear? I've read many a post regarding AWS 900, Daking, Pro Tools, etc., whose "content" users experience problems and or anomalies!
Allow me to draw my own conclusions concerning your status. I assume by the amount of time and wordspace you have spent here trivializing some user's problems, and the fact that you yourself are not being "quiet" ,indicates that you are not a "content" user. If you were "busy", you wouldn't be spending precious time insulting some members who are having some "real world" problems! It's great for you that your Duende is working, but you need to accept the fact that some ARE having problems!
I think you can rest assured, that SSL, as a "busy-content-quiet" credible manufacturer with a track record, is more than capable of taking care of these problems without your interference or intervention.
You certainly aren't helping the cause, nor are you being very constructive!
Your post caught my eye during a break ,but I now have to get back to work. I am "busy"and normally "quiet", but I'm sure I wouldn't be lauded as a "content" user by you! Oh well! Maybe one day!
peace for '09 and beyond
