Apple iMovie 8.0.5 (Mac OS X)
...this iteration sucks the joy out of the room. iMovie 6 was the right direction and worked well with sound editing. iMovie 8 is an incredibly bad joke that Apple ran on us. [alert admin]

USB Overdrive 3.0 (Mac OS X)
I was incredibly disappointed with this update. The interface is cryptic compared to the older version. Navigating is a nightmare. The worst part about it is setting the mouse tracking and acceleration speeds. Not even close to the beauty and functionality of the original. The way the interface is set up, it appears as though these settings are missing but are now setting wheel speeds. Not being able to read the old prefs was a huge downer. For those of us with a lot of app specific set-ups, this is a real show-stopper in terms of time spent to recall the older prefs....especially when it comes to mouse speed settings. There is nothing to make the translation from. Just mind numbing guess-work. The joy of using it has been sucked out of the room. I'll wait til Alessandro works through this. I've got faith. So, no ratings. Meantime: back to v1048. [alert admin]

Light Guitar Audio Unit 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Hangs up in Logic 9 during validation
Hangs during the AU validation process in Logic 9 and must be aborted. Of note, although the lead description ("A new kind of musical instrument") might lead you to believe this is an AU Instrument, it isn't. It is an AU Effect. If it were me, I'd change the copy to read: "A new kind of musical effect". [alert admin]

Photo to Movie 4.1.3 (Mac OS X)
Jerky movement has plagued this program since day 1 
This program is unable to display a simple 16 photo series of 1.4m (2000x3000) jpg's using the default drag and drop crossfades. It hasn't been able to do this on Leopard since day one. Like the poster below me, I have contacted their support to told it must be my machine. This, in spite of the fact that it is an 8 core 3.0gHz PMP with 9gb RAM and an xt1900 video card. I was asked for a screenshot of my Graphics/Display page from System Profiler. I sent one and never got a response. Even when I cut these photos in half (.7m/1000x1500) I get the same jerky motion across the fade points. It is impossible to make any kind of edit decision with the playback this bad. The previous update actually, which touted a gazillion fixes actually made things even worse. I'm real tired of this and I'm done paying upgrade fees for it anymore. [alert admin]

AudioLobe 2.7 (Mac OS X)
Seriously, this is the stupidest thing I have come across in years. You barely have time to adjust a single control to make any kind of intelligent evaluation. Avoid this like the plague. It doesn't deserve attention. There are much better things out there. [alert admin]

Native Instruments FM8 1.0.1 (Mac OS X)
This "update" was originally issued on Nov. 9, 2006. Well over a year ago. As a matter of fact, the latest version is v1.0.3....released on Nov. 12, 2007. Why does this sort of listing show up in Version Tracker now? [alert admin]

OldFolder 1.1.0 (Mac OS X)
Either make the app restore the Tiger Dock functionality in Leopard or just stop saying this: "OldFolder is an application that revives the pre-Leopard dock's hierarchical menu interface for folders". ....because it flat out doesn't. HierarchicalDock is actually closer at mimicking Tiger's dock functionality than this one is and that one doesn't get any cigars either. Look...I realize this is free...and thanks for the effort....but it is a buggy app (drag a folder onto the app icon and watch it crash) and doesn't permit a folder to be placed back on the right side of the dock. Instead, we get a running application and no right click for hierarchic menuing...like it was in Tiger. This is my objection to the feature blurb. It simply doesn't revive the pre-Leopard dock interface. The app I want to see lets Apple have their moronic eye-candy fan/grid crapfest with left clicking (which it does now) and the restored functionality of right-clicking for hierarchic menuing while losing the forced contents folder icon. I'd pay money to get that back. [alert admin]

USB Overdrive 10.4.8 (Mac OS X)
Breaks on Intel 8core running OS 10.4.10
Custom mouse commands no longer work. Cannot "see" Apple Optical Mouse in Handled devices. Uninstalled and reinstalled 10.4.5. Everything works again. [alert admin]

Mine did the same...stalling @ 1 minute to go...but I let it run for another 6-7 minutes and it finished. Try it again and be patient.

Hangs up in Logic 9 during validation
Sorry, the update still hangs up the Logic 9 AU validation process. Still does it across an 8Core, Nehalem and iMac all running 10.5.8 and L9.

Can't help you there. Tell it to the Logic developers. BTW, same problem on 3 different machines all running L9.

Why does this have five stars?
To be fair, the end resulting movie comes out smooth. Something that didn't used to happen a few versions ago. But while you are assembling things, the program is incapable of presenting simple, smooth crossfaded transitions. Working with a sound track really points out what a misery this is. How is it possible to make creative artistic decisions based on what you are seeing in the construction process? This needs to be addressed.

thanks for encouraging me to buy a new scanner
The guy is entitled to his opinion. What I find amusing is the inevitability that Apple WILL figure out a way to break his scanner's software with another half-baked OS update or "security update". Want to guess what he'll be launching when that happens? Think of all the landfills spared the scanners this software keeps running. Worth the price alone.

Yes. Make a copy of the song you are modifying and rename it. Load that one into ASD and modify it. Save that one. Remember to match file types. You have to do it this way because ASD doesn't do Save As...

Always Amiss on One Thing or Another
I agree. The fact that 1.9.2 had to be released to repair a major bug in 1.9.1 should be reason enough to stay as far away from this program as you possibly can for the next year or so. This is not the first time this thing has been shoved out the door with a major data destroying bug in it. But it's free.

I am quite aware of what this software will and won't do. I have watched for a few months while this software has been updated on a continuous basis. Many of these bugs were brutal show stoppers. So let's get real about the glowing reviews that came in while this program was underfeatured and overpriced and barely working. You will notice that I had presence of mind not to lower the Star rating. What the…
