RE: everyones doing it!!!
Anyone heard of "Demo Periods"??? With software you get far more trial time than you do with hardware. I mean, I got 30 days with Waves Native Gold bundle, and I was sold in 2. If it was hardware, I'd have had an hours session with a Sales Executive to decide. In fact, I didn't even get to test my Virus C as it involved a trip to flipping London! Using cracks to get a feel for software is a misnomer and pointless.
To be honest, I truly enjoyed those moments when my box arrived (ooohhh, it's christmas for the big boys now kids
) and I knew it was my Waves Native Gold bundle, or my Logic Platinum, the fact that it was £### (bargain!) disappeared for a few days.
If I found that someone had been stealing Access Virus synths, I'd form a man hunt and lynch the fucker! Sure, software may be a very abstract version of its physical counterpart, but it does the same job, so it will warrant the same price tag, and if you aren't willing to pay for it then why are you going to use it in the first place???
Anywho, it's good to know that I am not alone on this one. I was becomming somewhat disillusioned.
Regards.
Steve.
