Hi,
Ive only noticed drop outs / choppy behavior from wave editor and SEQ2 when
the source is mono / single channel being exported to stereo. As mentioned its
a shame these two dont work better together, when they are stable its great -
but Ive lost count how many times Ive spent over an hour fiddling with SEQ2
only to hit save and then it crashes... litereally... I managed to grab SEQ2
when there was a group buy going on, i think it was 49 dollars. Which was some
time ago and Ive not noticed any updates since.
Both have major stability issues. Which is why I opted also for Amadeus pro,
shame it doest have a real time plug in architecture the same as waveeditor -
but for editing without eq its far faster. And the sonogram feature is worth
the asking price alone.
BR;
Mike.
