Re: [microsound] Getting started
Xdugef,
Hmmm...
I disagree. Cracked software is almost never as stable as the real
Mcoy. I know there is always an exception to the rule, but i rather
stick with the law of averages. Ever try to load a cracked version of
Reaktor into another software app as a VST instrument? Wow talk about
unstable. The Legit version lets you do so on the fly, multiple
instances even! This kind of stuff requires the most recent version of
all apps involved usually, a big road block if your studio is full of
cracked apps.(thats why old school hardware rocks, GO NORD!)
I also do not like to scour the net for serial#'s every time an update
comes out, even if its a minor one.
The time between Reator 4 and Reaktor 5 was about 3 years. During that
time many upgrades came out that were free and added an amazing amount
of content to the program, not to mention the amazing work done by the
community regulars themselves.
It also allows you to install Reaktor to multiple machines.
I like PD and Max and the endless amount of other software as well,
unfortunately life keeps me from enjoying them all. Bottom line is
that do what you can afford to. If you cant afford to buy software
like this, then use the great open source options out there, or what
ever other nebulous means to get your work to the next level. I frown
upon pirating software, a point of reference thing i guess(work), but i
understand why people do so( i have as well in certain points of my
life)

mmm.. that may be true about some applications but most cracks these
days use serial number generators and you can many times get the
current version before the offical release date.
I'm not advocating using cracked software but just pointing out the
fallacy that "cracked software is inherently flawed".
Also you only get to use the most current verion if you buy it or buy
the upgrades. It seems like the strategy of most large software vendors
these days is to release software that they know is flawed or missing
features so that they can charge you for upgrades later...on a schedule
once or twice a year. Plus you usually have little freedom to copy the
software to a second computer or you can but you have get permission to
do so. Some companies will charge you an arbitrary relocation fee... so
if you have the option to get a USB dongle then do so.. it will save
you a headache if you have machine problems and need to use a different
computer at 3 on a sunday morning.
But to get back on target.. PD is free right???.. if you can wrap your
mind around it then try it out, it won't cost you anything and is
completely legit. After trying it out if you want MAX then learning MAX
will be easy or easier.
