trade / sell loops, plugins and vst instruments?

[turbochicken]

Hi guys,

i'm wondering if anyone wants to trade loops? anything from oriental to ethnic, fx to synths. even plugins or vst instruments.

can even make copies and buy and sell cheap amongst ourselves(the only flipside being unable to register for the product).


can work? :roll:

I hate to be a wet-blanket, but that's infringing on copyright laws. There are, however, free loops and VST plug-ins out there.

i'll recommend betamonkeyloops.com amazing acoustic drum loops and at really affordable prices. have bought several myself and he is the friendliest american online store i've ever come across. otherwise, computer music mag comes with some free loops/samples sometimes.
not sure about copying and all, but i'd rather get the originals la. at least for music stuff...kekeke...

How about good quality Freeware eg

1) daHornet - previously you had to pay for this

2) JXSynth v1.2 - previously you had to pay for this

3) Delta SP - "Fruity Loops" kind of sequencer (v1.6 is freeware)

well it does have copyright issues, but if it's under the table...well i'm very much a pirate. even pple from reputable studios(locally) are doing it. but anyway.

infact i have fxpansion's BFD and native instruments' guitar rig(both currently top notch in their fields) and i'm using acid and too lazy to try FL, so i'm not actually looking for sequencers or drum loops

i'm just thinking can trade can meet can kopi can chat

and if it's making copies of vst instruments and selling it cheap, well, it benefits - no? :wink:

somewhere along the lines of that perhaps.

but hey thanks for the recommendation. i'll check them out. 8)

Lowjk,

How's those VST plug-ins you mentioned taxing the CPU?

It's sad and regrettable to hear that studios are using pirated stuffs. Be very careful - at least for samples. Most samples today are watermarked. The sample developers randomly check to see if people are using pirated samples out there in the market. Heard of a few legal actions taken against some already.

Not too badly since I'm on an Athlon 3.0 Ghz processor.
But never bothered to look at CPU usage counter.

I have one PC and one notebook - both have separate original Windows XP. My notebook is dual booted - each dual boot has it's own original Windows XP. I have NEVER downloaded any pirated mp3 from websites or from other people. All my samples are original. The only downloaded softwares I have on my PC is zonealarm (free), Ad-aware (free) and AVG antivirus (free).

Not trying to be a saint here, but I'm definitely not alone. I have friends who also does the same. One friend has at least 5-6 networked PCs in his home (in the IT line) and has not a single pirated software. And no, he is not a millionnaire; just an average guy living in a HDB flat with his wife and son.

I thought musicians, who make/ write music, should at least respect protection of creative property rights.

 

[turbochicken]

cheez,

musician is a very wide word. most musicians don't do music to put food on their table; they're purely enthusiasts and hobbyists so becoming pirates is very likely.

it's good to hear that you and your friend salute copyrights but that's that.

actually most of my music softwares are original. the only pirated one is acid 4 and i'm getting acid 5 original soon. my intention was to share them amongst those here.

True. However, whether musician or not, the law is the law. Just like photocopying a book. Although many of us don't make music to put food on our table, the people who sells their CDs do. So in a way, we are robbing them of the food they put on their table.

This argument can go both ways - does Bill Gates need more food on this table? (at least he gave billions to help eliminate polio in the world, among other things) Well, looks like it will always end in a stalemate. That is, until the law finally catches up with somebody and makes that person a scapegoat.

wow, it continues here.
guys, u noe wat, preach ur sanity n anti-piracy somewhere else please.
good if u can afford it but most can't.
anyway, what do u gain by preaching your believe anyway.
makes u stand somewhere in this scene?
do u think these people here would gives a shit about u say?
well, above all, just let these forumers decide which way they wanna goes!!!!!!

 

[turbochicken]

haha. law is law.

i know that lar.

if it isn't a fine line, there wouldn't be laws at all would there.

good for you if you support original.

hard to call it a bad thing even if you're a lawless pirate.

and spymac: preaching or not, you're already giving a shit by replying.

aight, nuff said.

turbo out. :wink:

money not enuff

I'm not sure wat to comment but I must confess
I have licensed software and 'pirated' ones.

All my licensed software are in one PC which is the best one;
the OS, software and applications are all legal stuff. Recently
bought an original NI FM7, considering to buy the NI Xpress.

The other older PC besides the OS, are pirated software
where I get to evalute and learn the software before
deciding whether to buy.

I think the pirated software let us access to more software
so we can decide which to buy. It may be IP but in the eyes
of an average salary consumer buying original software without
evaluting them might be throwing the hard earn money down the
drain.

Software companies have resort to demos copies for
evaluation purpose; however the demo copies are always
limited, so the access of pirated ones still serve some purpose.

For the reselling of pirated and cracked software is truly hurting
the IP and mainly it is a selfish act to gain own's reward. Sadly,
it is happening here.

OK. Good discussion anyway. Each one to his own views, but at least expressed out somewhere - that's what a forum is about. So end of discussion.

goes!!!!!!

I wouldn't call it preaching. But to "preach" somewhere else ... where else better than a forum?

do u think these people here would gives a shit about u say?

Do they care about what is said? I'll just re-quote you - I'll say it and "let these forumers decide". At least it is said.

And no, I don't earn much since I work in a third world country. I once asked my wife why don't I just get pirated software? Why should I pay more while others pay less and get about the same thing? She just replied, "You don't have to get it if you can't afford it. Nobody is forcing you to buy it."

So, it's all up to individuals. I never forced my ideas on another - just express it. Ok. Better end this discussion....
