guilty as charged, but I really only use a particular bass amp sim.

I feel like someone should pay me for going through the trouble of trying out t-racks though! that shit fuckin' blowz. reminds me - I need to delete that crap and free up the space it's using.
 
I wish I could buy Waves Plugins on their own instead of in 'packs' with all this shit I wont use.

The only plugins I need are RComp, REQ, L2 and C4...

You're welcome :)
 
I would just like to add that this poll isn't anonymous in the least bit. If the right person/people wanted to and presented a strong enough reason to get a warrant to search the server's logs they can easily find out who voted what. It's anonymous to the public...
 
Almost everything you do on the internet is loged somewhere. But it seams that anonymity of this poll is close enough to the real anonymity.




...but once I hack the Internetz all you midget porn wankers will be exposed. Beware

Obviously, but I don't think this situation warrants that Mike ;)
 
I'm using a cracked Logic 8. But the thing is I bought the Logic 7 for 999$ 2 times. One for my studio and one for private use. When they later released Logic 8(like 1 month after I bought my last Logic 7) I was so pissed that they wouldn't let me upgrade to Logic 8 for free. So if I hadn't bought the last Logic 7 and instead waited one month I would get a totally new Logic 8 at half the price.

Other than that I have bought every plug I use. Revalver, Aptriggah etc. Everything else is pure Logic plugs, limiters, eq, compressors etc..

Isnt Logic 7 much better than 8?

Logic 7 used to be about $1k. Then they cut the cost in half.
 
Talkin' about astronomical prices, the place I work at picked up some adobe production premium bundles, which run like 2k €.

So basicly i was holdin in my hand a flimsy 3dvd jewelcase that's worth 2k... wierd feeling.
 
All legit here :) I have used some pirated plugs sometimes in the past though and don't feel bad at all about it. I mainly like to try things out even if I couldn't afford it, such as some Waves stuff. It turned out I didn't really even like them too much... And I like to try before I buy. I'm thinking about giving Ableton Live and Logic both a spin whenever I have some free time in the near future, and see if I like them.

BTW, I'm still lacking a lot of free plugins after I switched to Mac. Any recommendations? This site was pretty cool: http://www.apulsoft.ch/freeports/

And I'm also gonna say that I'm not against piracy at all, and I suspected that the poll would have a result like this.

Really? Because it wouldn't take much for a rep from Waves to contact their lawyers and get a subpoena to force UM.com to turn over their logs...

Much like how an AG's office just did to MySpace showing all registered sex offenders using their site.

I mean, I'm not saying they will, but don't be naive.

Best free up a few more cells then ;)
