I still stand by my general position. But I'll say that a bit of my perspective is related to rationalizing these whole issues. What the hell good is it for us to all bitch and moan about undeniable facts of human nature that are leading to the demise of the music industry as we knew it in the past?...

Billf, Don't tell me that I intend any slap against DP. I don't. In fact, I'm pretty certain I intend to criticize DP far less that you intend to criticize REAPER. Actually I'm 100% certain because I never intended ANY criticism of DP here. You're saying that I'm bashing DP by just comparing it to R...

How many friends have you made on this forum?

Are we ALL wrong?..Or could it be YOU are wrong?

Well, I said it earlier: if pirates just stopped pirating music they might instead just listen only to free music put out their by folks who undervalue themselves, just like DP is threatened by REAPER being $60 and Audacity being FREE. Maybe you will struggle to sell your music even if nobody is pir...

The music industry isn't in trouble, it's in transition . Transitions cause tons of upheaval and lots of it is uncomfortable. It's hurt me and I have lots of complaints. But, c'mon, there's more music being made today than ever before, more tools than ever before, and the most creative people are s...

I don't know WHAT the industry will look like in the next few decades. I'm no prophet. Sorry, FMiguelz, but if things in this "transition" go the worst way, then you'll have to just survive by playing live music, teaching amateurs, or stuff like that. But you mentioned "jingles"....

Nice way to prompt a respectable discussion there :roll: The music industry isn't in trouble, it's in transition. Transitions cause tons of upheaval and lots of it is uncomfortable. It's hurt me and I have lots of complaints. But, c'mon, there's more music being made today than ever before, more too...

Right... because someone gets tattoos and goes out of his way to look really tough, well that's obviously an indication having no capacity for feeling guilty or having any conscience. Whatever. That's obviously a reflection of the culture. Look, all the people around him are just this same. He'd pro...

No, REAPER does not have all the features of DP, far from it. Yes, REAPER has some substantial features that DP lacks. So there's no one program that has it all. In general, DP is still the more mature program but some of REAPER's benefits are notable enough to be substantial. FMiguelz, Those friend...

Sheesh. I don't really care that much about promoting REAPER, I was more responding to the quick-to-judge attitude of people here underestimating it. It's not so much that I want to just promote REAPER, it's more that I don't like dismissive hearsay to be spread around. DP is very powerful, absolute...

** REAPER PUFF PIECE DELETED **

So Reaper users, be careful. There is no such thing as a free lunch. I really tried to stop myself from saying this, but I can't... :twisted: That would be the PERFECT pay-back time for the pirates! It's the least they would deserve. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: I'd feel sorry ...

To billf, well put, and maybe that's one reason (subconsciously) that I was promoting REAPER, because I hope people do use it and pay for it because I'm now a user and I sure want to see it continue to be developed! As to the program itself, I had the same hesitation myself, but was encouraged by a ...

Yeah, I see my initial language wasn't as carefully worded as should have been. And I see your point about dumping. It's similar to the old Netscape / IE lawsuit... but it's certainly debatable in the case of REAPER. I don't know why they chose that name but it is designed as an acronym. Anyway, the...

"Fair" to whom? Prices should be based on what it costs to bring the particular goods or services to market and then a profit that is to be determined by the provider of those goods or services. If the provider is "out of line" they won't sell enough of the product to make it wo...
