The Soundpeak Reliability Survey

[theBadger]

There's some stuff, software or hardware, that sounds fantastic but plays havoc when it comes to reliability.

The Roland SH101 mono synth for example. This would be a great little synth if it would stay in tune for more than two consecutive notes and consequently scores -1 on the reliability scale.

Sony Acid 7 on the other hand never crashes. Load it up on the most unreliable laptop and it will remain solid as a rock for years.

My old PC... Bullet proof... My new multicore 64bit beasty... As skittish as a racehorse with a radish up its bum.

I have a roland juno synth that I've used live at every gig I've ever played without any drama and I also have a useless pile of circuit-boards that used to be a roland D50 before all the important parts fell off.

So.

Feel free to list here, stuff that is as reliable as a faithful old sheepdog...

and also, warn us of software or hardware that is as unreliable as a mangy mongrel.

Think of it as a public service.
