Oh, boot times are pivotal when you use the unit's power switch as a "kill-switch", a la Buckethead.
I got to say boot time does matter when you just want to get going quickly. While those extra seconds are not going to ruin anyone's day, it's nice to get it fired up fast.
I am seriously impressed how quickly the Helix Floor boots up after Line6 basically halved its boot time in some update. I really wish Fractal could do something like that for their system too.
Stepping over a dollar to save a dimeI never understood the "penny-wise and pound foolish" remark my Grandparents
would make when I was younger.
Now I know they were talking about the person who drives 5 times around the
parking lot to get five steps closer to the door. Among other things.
That's what I do too. I've only turned it off (and unplugged it) during two hurricanes.Just leave it on 24/7. I do.
I'm not trying to derail this very serious and urgent topic, but if there is anyone with insider knowledge of when the next Giuffria album is due to hit iTunes, I'd really appreciate the info.
Thanks
Just like one would never talk about amps without mentioning other similar amps.I dare you to post here without mentioning Line 6 or Helix one time. I know you can do it.
Can't believe this is a discussion about something that takes almost the same amount of time as a good yawn.
Perhaps Line6 could gain benefit from focusing their energy on improvements that really matter.Line6 basically halved its boot time in some update. I really wish Fractal could do something like that for their system too.
Most of their updates (a couple of times a year) add, fix and improve a ton of stuff. Reducing boot time was just one of those things.Perhaps Line6 could gain benefit from focusing their energy on improvements that really matter.
Not saying they don't do improvements. My point is that given a large number of change requests for any modeller - I don't think knocking a few seconds off boot time has much value for effort spent, relative to other improvements that could be done.Most of their updates (a couple of times a year) add, fix and improve a ton of stuff.

That's fair. In Line6's case it was literally halving the boot time though so it was an actual improvement you can clearly notice rather than just shaving off a few seconds. Not necessary but very nice to have!Not saying they don't do improvements.

How have the moderators not locked this thread yet?
About 5 days is my usual boot time.The mods always need a little time to get started.
