Hi All. I felt I should give some feedback since I have posted my problems and suggestions in these forums.
This latest release is actually quite good in terms of bugs fixed. The usability of Spark with the LE controller feels, dare I say, stable for the first time (standalone and Logic AU). It's pretty much how a person would expect the product to be on the day they unboxed it. I had come to the point of actually being afraid of using Spark, especially in my DAW, because of the bugs - the random crashes, hiccups, settings changes, etc. With some confidence back, I'm looking forward to putting together some new kits with some of my newest sample libraries and see if I can actually work Spark into my drums workflow in a fluid way.
That said, attention should turn toward improvements. Not even new features so much as improvements to what is already there. Things like reduction of CPU usage, time stretching, drag and drop in any view there is a pad or sampler, better filters, better fx, a better library view, remove either the studio or mixer views due to redundancy. Just some of my wishlist items.
