"Problem with M Audio Oxygen 8 v2"
Pros: I liked the compact design
Cons: Their organization of written documentation which enables a person to get up and running quickly is scimpy. Good written documentaion is a must when you are navigating new software and hardware products at the same time. Item never worked for me
Summary: I purchased an M-Audio Oxygen 8v2 here in Baltimore and have had nothing but
problems. The Ableton really sucks and I wonder why they are pushing Ableton.
The tech person at M-Audio told me to try Music Creator by Cakewalk with my
system and maybe it would help. I purchased Music Creator and was able to get the sound to come out (previously no sound would come out with Ableton), but when I would exit the program and come back to Cakewalk, there would be no sound from a saved file previously recorded. I have changed settings and even upgraded my computer. The store would not take the product back, and I have decided to make life easier on myself by buying no more M-Audio products. It is difficult to get into their tech support as they keep you holding on the line. The experience was confusing and frustratng. I wondered if my package had been tampered with because the box said Ableton Live Lite 4 on the box while inside was Live Lite 6. I also wondered if my drivers needed upgrading. When I went to their website the upgrading page said "Access Denied." I think if people started boycotting computer products and companies that give us nightmares, the companies would be more willing to make products and software that synchronize (too much expansion too soon due to greed and mismanagement) and work more efficiently for people. They make these products quickly for money's sake and don't care whether you have problems, and it has worsened over the years. I will not buy any more M-Audio products. This was not a plug and play product, right out of the box product for me. I will buy another product which will make my life easier.
