Any one have one of those SRS (0) rack mount effects. I was reading the fine print on the manual that came with it and It said That I cannot sell a recording that I make with this. This is after I read how to put it on my recordings.

Should I ignore this or are they really serious that they would sell a unit you cant use.:confused:
 
You know the unit that makes you sound like you are listening to surround even though you have only 2 speakers.
 
A unit that makes two speakers out front sound like there's five speakers all around? No wonder you can't sell anything you use it on! It doesn't work!
 
how about you type here what the fine print of the manual says ... also manufacturer name and model number of the unit would be nice too. Just trying to understand what the heck you're talking about.
 
what'chu'talkin'bout'willis???

LMAO @ Bruce's post. :D

"I cannot sell a recording that I make with this"

They mean you can't sell it because it sounds so bad.

But seriously, the only way they could prevent you is with a shrink wrap contract. If you bought this not knowing the terms of that contact, and the "no sell" provision makes the damned thing useless to you, I would consider returning it for a refund. If they give you any guff, tell em Zoetrope sent you. If that doesn't work, tell em Superman sent you. Nobody messes with Superman.:eek:
 
I guees I should spell it out for you all. Because of some bulls..t lisenseing thing I can buy a unit that gives my recordings a 3-D effect, but i cannot sell one of my recordings if I use it.

By the way It works fine thank you.
 
Big kahuna

Purchase of this product does not convey the right to sell recordings made with SRS technology.

SLM SM2-SRS(0) sound retreval system.
 
Unless your recordings are making large amounts of money, I doubt they'll be interested in harassing you if you do use it.

OTOH - maybe their licensing rates are reasonable for smaller-scale releases.......

Is that all it says on the subject? Just because purchase does not convey the right to sell recordings doesn't mean you don't have the right to sell recordings. In other words, "washing your car with Turtle Wax does not convey the right to drive your car." Do you have the right to drive your car after waxing it? Yes.
Now if they said "thou shalt not sell recordings made with our super tech gizmo" that would be a different story. I'd say go ahead and use it and forget it. I would be amazed if they sued anyone over this.

NOT LEGAL ADVICE. NOT EVEN GOOD ADVICE.
 
Thanks dudes for the advice. Im only going to use this to enhance synth strings and accoustic guitar, so i will try to be tasteful with it.
 
You can sell your recordings, but you can't print " processed using SRS tecnology " on label and cover.
This is right legally ( i think ).
 
There is no possible way that anyone can sell audio processing equipment, intended for use in audio recording / mixing / mastering, accept money for it, and prohibit anyone from using the product for its intended purpose. It would NEVER stand up in any court. My opinion, and I'd stand by it, even in court. :)
Use it, you'll never hear from them, and if you do, tell them I told them to go and fuck themselves
All, of cause, in the best possible taste :)))))
 
that's like audio technica saying that you can buy their microphone but you can't sell any recordings you make with it.

however, if SRS has recordings that they have made, then they have the right to refuse the use of their recordings within your recordings.

for instance, if you are swizz beats (or however you spell it), and you take a beat or pattern from your casio keyboard demo and use it on EVE's song, then casio can sue you for 'sampling' their tune, but casio can not sue you for using the snare sound of their keyboard because you bought the right to use it.
 
LOL also not correct. If a company includes a sample or piece of music in a keyboard / workstation which goes on general sale, the company concerned will have to own the rights to utilised the sample / music in question. They will have obtained the rights by either paying artists to develop the samples for the purpose, or by purchasing the rights to the samples with the intention of including them in their products. If you purchase this product, it will be a purchase of the equipment plus the samples included at the time of purchase, which includes to right to use those samples in any way you see fit.
