I finally caved in to peer pressure and decided to "upgrade" from Reaper to Pro Tools because "it's the industry standard..."
After spending a couple of hours trying to fix multiple ridiculous and infuriating bugs, I uninstalled it and got a refund. I simply could not get it to work and the manufacturer didn't even know what to do.
It really shouldn't be necessary to uninstall/reinstall drivers, plug-ins, software and hardware just to get a DAW program to work any way...
"Pro Tools has encountered an unrecognised component and must now exit."
At least it's cheap at only $299-$599 though...
