2 (of course) and I agree with DDspeed.
I feel sorry for those who doesn’t feeling any guilt when using cracked version, at least to a 100% true software like this. If I made a song with a cracked version I would think my song was invalid.
At just $45, I mean, come on. Most people spend that much on booze in a weekend. They practically give 99% of the program for free, charging only for WAV output and other support, so it’s not like users are even limited in any way. $45 is an absolute steal. It probably costs less than the DSL line rental…
I agree on the piracy thing. Renoise is something no one should steal. It is worth the $45. All in all, I respect the software and developers enough not to pirate it.
But strangely enough, I do have pirated warez. I use pirated versions of adobe and macromedia right now at my job until they provide me with a registered version. And sound forge too.
I bought Renoise, Tracktion, Jeskola XS-1, and Extreme Sample Converter. To me, it’s the Power Combo . And a relatively cheap one, which is even greater.
The only music software i ever paid for was Impulse Tracker and Renoise.
I paid Jeffrey 200 bucks for the pleasure i had with Impulse Tracker.
It will require a few technical changes before i donate that for Renoise.
