I'm with you on the "step back" in terms of options both hardware and software.
But, sometimes you have to take a step back to move forward.
That's how I see it.
Do I want the options that were available on the older products? Yes
The sounds I am using now (HD) trumps the older stuff in spades.
That is way more important to me. I prefer Sound Quality over options.
It is not a perfect world but if you have tools you can work with to get your sound
then it's a done deal.
Also thank you Digtal_Igloo for your abundance of patience.
