it's got safeguards against crashing. The track will still play out to the end if it crashes which gives you time to switch to a normal record/cd and reboot it if it does happen to crash. I've had no issues yet and I'm using it non-stop.
then again, i'm kind of a computer buff so I don't do stupid things with my OS that would introduce too much "chaos" factor to create an unstable system.
even though this thing supports 3rd party vst plugins. That's introducing potential unstability. I'd have to playtest the ever loving crap out of a vst to trust it.
I think these syncroscience guys know what they are doing though. The support forums are full of people who have stupid questions though and probably need to learn a thing or two about basic computer (or midi for that matter) before taking on a system like this.
That being said, the alternative virtual vinyl solutions that have been out for a few years now (Final Scratch/Traktor DJ/Deckadance/Serrato/misc) all have amazing track records as far as stability goes. Again, more than not, it's the computer at fault.
I'd use this out in the open,the safeguard is good enough for me, I have real records too
