Hi,

Thing with bugs:

My Audya still have bugs - things that others would most probably freak out over. However, I see these in the light of what the Audya gives me & in the light of this, these bugs are insignificant!

Some of us rage over minor things. Sometimes it's just better to live with them. In no ways will these stuff up a live performance. And even if it should & even if my Audya exeeds 5 minutes to boot up with the Ajam conversion, it would still not kill a live performance for me.

It's all about perception. If you want ABSOLUTELY NO BUGS, then these might not be for you. But if you are willing to live with these minior things & focus on the fact that you have a unit that sounds more real than ANYTHING out there, & gives you UNSURPASSED abilities to tweak styles to your own liking in just a flash, then go for it. You'll not regret your choice.

I know - I've had my Audya for close to six years now & it was already used when I purchased it. Plus, mine was one of the very few first units - they were supposed to come with more bugs than the later ones.

My list just to verify the above:

1. Since AJAM conversion, my unit seldom boots up on the 1st time, even with the new adapter connected - So, I just switch off, wait a while & try again until it decides to boot. Sometimes five or more attempts are required...

2. When I copy something to another place on the Audya, the copied results often contains the wrong info in the original file name. - So, I've learned NOT to move things, but rather copy them instead. The 2nd copy normally does it right.

3. When I create new styles, eventually the memory becomes full & it starts doing weird stuff. - So? I just reboot & carry on where I left off.

4. Not every recording to HHD is perfect. Sometimes the recording is not complete & only contains part of what I recorded. - So? I reboot & just record again.

5. I also get my total freeze ups every now & then - So? Reboot & all is well again! If you have any sorts of an entertainer personality, this will not effect your performance badly. Even bank computers stuff things up from time to time & yet we live with it?

Now these things would cause many over here to rage & rage & rage. However, even though it's getting old, I still have the BEST arranger that technology has to offer. I no longer has a Yamaha & this is a good thing as I now focus ALL my attention on the Audya & this really works better for me.

Cheers,

Henni
