Easy enough to get into.

Couldn't find anything.  Tried Douglas' suggestion above - you just get great big pile of posts - no segregation of XR and X32, no segegation of general, feature requests, etc, no pinned topics.

If it's that hard to navigate a forum, no-one will bother.  Most will fail to get past the starting gate.

Just one great big crock of shit, sadly....

Bingo.

Forums need to be designed to support the user needs.
In this case, they went with more of a generic social media design.
Poor choice....unless the goal is to make it difficult to get information or a question answered.

This is definitely not the case here. I expect some initial hurdles until the system is tuned, with the help of some user feedback.

You mean when the Grande Transformation turned into "how to drop the ball in every way, then find some new ways?"  They gave up a mess for a train wreck.

Their Twitter is  proudly proclaiming "Created for musicians by musicians" - great idea to use musicians instead of IT professionals, right...?

Exactly what I'm thinking ... the big step to uselessness ... and in addition i can't find a place there to complain  >:(

Seems like another change for change sake and not to solve any real problems.
Apple seems to do this with iTunes too >:(

I think someone needs to Ctrl-Z that new forum.

It would seem that someone in the tribe took Todd Rundgren's music to heart and banged on the drum all day instead of working...

I had the same experience.

I haven't posted there is a while .... mostly because there have not been any recent updates to my X32 ..... and honestly, I have everything I need with my digital mixing hardware.  But....

If I did need to post something, or look something up about my X32 Rack ..... I didn't find much to help me out.  It looks like one big "live sound" soup of posts.

I agree.  It seems like they went all social media on what should be a "forum".  Different purposes require different designs IMO.
