schmoron13 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 After reformatting my 1 yr old pc for the 9th time, I've decided that Warez ERR cracked software is just too damn unstable. Thus, I've been int he process of buying everythin I used. That being said, I got a bunch of new software yesterday at GC (wanted to broker a deal). -Trilogy -Sound Forge 6 -B4 -Reason 2.5 My big swindel ERR deal was getting them to drop reason to $230!!!! I couldn't believe they actually went for it. I'm now waiting a month (hopefully) before going after lounge lizard (I'll use cheese machine in the meantime), the UAD-1, Autotune & Micmodeler, and a control surface... Buying software is much more fullfilling, both in the fact that you know/hope the software is stable (...well virus free in exchange for bugs), but DAMN, it's a lot harder on the checkbook...

JimmieWannaB Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 It sounds more like your problem is with spending money, not buying gear. Buying gear is a blast. The hard part is skimping on meals and beer for the next two months after draining the bank account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 That's not gear. Gear is something you sit on a stand, drop on the floor, and haul to the repair shop. You touch gear, not look at it on a computer screen. Gear has keys or strings, wood and metal. Not a box and a CD. Anyway, congrats on going streight. What host are you using? I did not see that listed. Robert This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoron13 Posted September 3, 2003 Author Share Posted September 3, 2003 I bought sonar 2.22xl as I used it back in v6 (pro audio) and v9 came with my aardvark direct pro q10 so i had the greatly reduced upgrade path... MAN, I went through hell last night installing the software. I was under the impression that legit copies alleviated these types of messes. It turns out that Aardvark and Sonic Foundry are working on a major bug that crashes yourr computer when you try and install Sound Forge with an Aardvark card. But I emailed Aardvark, and they fixed most of my problems. I havn't tested out Trilogy or b4 since the fixes, but they showed me some tips to avoid getting constant dropouts... I kept having to change the virtual routing in sonar to accomadate trilogy which was a real nuisance. THough Rabid, if I would have gotten a UAD-1 card, that's technically gear, ain't it...though I wouldn't be able to touch it, rather just see it on my screen. Jimmie, you're right...I like the buying part, I just hate the paying aspect of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
