Now I'm just a hobby musician that has to go back to scool for two years and learn a real job, because the jobcenter has nothing to do but writing sanctions. (only one track finished in the last six months!) No, I was busy encountering and discovering bugs I had to note down and report to the tech support and developement teams!

But since then, I wasn't able to produce music anymore. I thought I would only have to upgrade to Ableton Live and everything would be fine. Another reason was that I wanted to get a complete production solution. That was one of the reasons I purchased the Arturia products. I didn't had any trouble with the software or my video card driver. Okay, it's not a high-end product and maybe I should get a new PC, but before purchasing the AE The Player 25 + Hip Hop Producer Bundle and the AE The Laboratory 49 + V-Collection 2 Bundle, I had an Arturia 60 Day Trial Extended Demo (that is by the way still available, although it should have ended by the end of 2011) running for months! (since june and I bought in october and november) I guess that all these issues have to do with my video card and none of them have to do with my sound device, but instead of making this clear to me, Arturias support decided to leave me in the dark about the reasons for that trouble and release updates that don't fix that. Even when I log out and in again, the application is still running and is shown on the task bar and the task manager. Not only that I still can't choose another sound device on the ARP2600 V2, MiniMg V, Mg Modular V 2 and Prophet-V2 in standalone mode and ARP2600 V2, MiniMg V and Mg Modular V 2 are crashing my DAWs (Samplitude Pro X, Ableton 8.3.2) when they have to be closed, now I can't even close the standalone version of ARP2600 V2, MiniMg V and Mg Modular V 2! Windows is just not able to close the application window. Now that this was fixed with a driver update, I thought I could maybe finally use the software bundles I bought round eight months ago. Wow, it took them months to find this out even if I sent them douzens of minidump files and bluescreen reports! Okay, I did and still had a lot of trouble with bluescreens and so, untill one day, Antoine finally told me that it is probably my video driver that is causing this trouble. With the last updates (2.5.1), there came this problem with choosing an ASIO sound device and your tech support told me that this would be a problem with my driver and I should go back to the previous versions. This concerns the Laboratory 1.5.1 as well as some of the single synth updates. As you may already read out of the caption of this post, I'm not really happy with the latest updates.
