I agree with you …further whether a R8 , a pc, or mac…or if one loves tape sound..and has bought an old Scully or ampex or stephens or studer machine…if one isnt willing to learn the gear..then one is going to face problems.
Thats the honest truth. Even with a dp03 or r8 one needs to learn menus etc.
ive lost count the number of fellow musos whove said to me "i'm a muso/songwriter dont wanna learn that tecchy stuff"...to which i reply "then you'll probably have problems....even at the dp03/r8 level."

why people have probs these days is they often use any
old laptop one drive, and try and load it with the kitchen sink.
the KEY is carefull computer selection/config.

frankly for me on pc i'm at a happy place right now..
with no latency problems. i AM looking to upgrade ,..but in a measured way as sample libs demand pretty decent processors /ram/ssd's etc etc.


Best/peace out.
