Very simple logic to me. Yet some can't seem to grasp that concept. They would NEVER consider doing something as stupid as going to their job every day and refusing to let their boss pay them for their work. Yet they think that software developers should work for free. I've also always said...

Your first sentence says it all - I buy what I can afford. After that what are you doing? You're stealing. It does NOT get any simpler than that. OK, you challeneged me so here are some answers on why a plug-in can cost that much. I can think of a couple of very legitimate ones right off...

There was no hot air. I stated you don't offer anything that shows you can speak intelligently on the submit of marketing software and I stand by that. For some odd reason you believe that all you have to do is create software (as if it was cheap and easy to do) and then you never have to do...

Wait a minute. How does the music industry "screwing" artists have ANYTHING to do with the price of audio recording software? Your lack of focus is further proof that you have NO, and I repeat, NO idea what you're talking about when it comes to the software business. You claim the rich are...

Very nicely done. I'd love to see certain clowns here who feel justified stealing $500 plug-ins do half as good a job with their $10000 worth of pirated software.

Well, a $500 plug is clearly NOT in the same category as food so that must mean it's a non-necessity. If people are willing to pay $500 then guess what. They are NOT being ripped off. They're buying it because they ultimately decided it was more important for them to have the $500 plug in...

Interesting point. I'd love to know how many people using pirated or cracked versions of the big name recording packages are actually using more than 5% of the capabilities of those packages. I'm sure most of those people would be MORE than adequately served by low-cost alternatives packages...

TerraMorten, Before I continue this lunacy, let me give you my professional background. I have 22 years in the IT field, with a B.S. in Computer Science and and M.S. in Computer Systems Management. The first 10 years were in software engineering and the last 12 have been in data center...

The only reason people use pirated or cracked software is that it is done virtually undetected. Any other argument is a completely worthless attempt at covering the fact that they're cowards who do it because they know they won't get caught. If there was a higher chance of getting caught...

Long after the last mushroom cloud of World War III dissipates, long after Keith Richards and the cockroaches have all finally died off, this thread will somehow find a way to adapt and continue growing. Good God, I haven't posted much in HomeRec in the last year and a half to two years and...

Oops, now that I re-read your post I got you. I'll sit down and be quiet now. :o

Without first hearing an example of the tone your getting but don't like, this is great general purpose advice.

If you're after the sound you hear on the SRV songs, Tommy Shannon used mostly and old Jazz and an old Precision when he played back then. If I remember correctly he isn't taking them on the road anymore, but that's what he used back then. You may be able to find more about which years his are...

I have the ART Tube MP (and a dual MP) and as I got a little more experience recording I found them to be pretty noisy for mics. I got some nice results on acoustic guitars with them, but I usually go with the mic pres in my m-Audio OMNI over the ARTs. I haven't tried the other two (BTW, you...

I'm considering a new dual core PC and am also leaning toward the AMD 64 X2's, though I haven't ruled out an Pentium D based system simply because of a connection I have. And for those who've been calling me an idiot because I'm too stupid to see the logic in their illogical arguments...
