What was the worst gear that you ever owned?

I'd have to second the M-Audio Ozone... the key action really sucked and the knobs had strange dead spots on mine.

Got you all beat I think, Roland MT32

Looong time ago it was one of my first pieces of gear, man did it suck

Like one of the movies that are so awfull you gotta see them, you gotta hear an MT32 just once, everything will sound wonderfull after hearing it.

1.) Focusrite Sapphire
2.) M-Audio Firewire 410

-- A Lexicon Omega blew both of those out of the water, and it's, get this, only
USB 1

a DOD vocal fx pedal... I suppose it wasn't complete $h*! most of the FX sucked pretty bad IMO.

The Letha Weapon Blow up doll - fucking piece of shit!

Suppose to be life like, realistic - turned out to be a bunch of rubber and plastic and it gets all sticky when you...

Just kidding - hmmmmmmmm - I've been pretty disappointed in everything Berhinger has ever made I ever bought if that counts

Without a doubt, LIVE 5!!

Paid, what, $220 or something back in JULY...still can't use it. It's fine for one song at a time, but just try building a 4 or 5 gig set...train wreck. And since you can't import a 5 song into a Live 4 session, it's useless. I can't say I've ever paid a couple hundred bucks for something that is totally useless...so Live 5 wins the award. It is only my profound respect for the overall program I haven't asked for a refund. 5.2 had better be FREE.

Solovox, what are you using instead?

Curious?

Live 4! I can take the exact same session that makes Live 5 stutter, delay, hit the red "D" light, or at the very least behave very sluggishly...and it's perfect. I use me a little Reason 3 and I'm still a Logic 5.5.1 PC castaway, too. I've got about 10 Live 5 songs that are castaways, too....hoping to be rescued by some later upgrade.

Anybody remember the Korg DDM-110 drum machine? I kept that for about 2 weeks before I sold it and jumped up to an EMU Drumulator. What a relief that was!
