Starship Krupa Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 After literally years of trying, I finally completed their registration process, only to find out that every time I want to use the thing, I have to sign in. With Cakewalk and Waveform and other excellent free DAW's, I could see no reason to proceed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 On top of that, you get a nag screen ***UNLESS*** you make a donation. $5 is enough but not if you want to have it installed on more than 1 machine. $50 gets two machine installs and every $50 after that get another machine install. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bapu Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 It's kind of rinky-dink to me after 5 minutes of dinking around with the supplied example project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Donate screen that pops up when you open that software. Click REMIND ME LATER and it goes away, nothing major TBH .. esp as this software is free.

I had to giggle when I read, "democratize access to music production" and "100% free . . . but we need money to make it free.". Looks like a nice clean DAW. That's my #1 complaint with most DAW's. Too much going on and I get cornfused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much going on and I get cornfused. Yeah but TBH .. as freebies go, a pop up is par for the course, in this case one second to click REMIND ME LATER and thats the end of it. Not the worst of things OK I get your point about ANNOYING and democratize, but I think yes it would be annoying if this pops up every minute and I think the democratize thing is to do with the fact it is free at the end of the day. People here even crib about the Bandlab Assistant .. for something free, I wouldnt complain TBH, because these things are FREE after all, a little "annoying" thing is a small price ..

If you have to ask money before the product is used each time, either your product is crap or the money is more important than the product itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Going by the images, the UI looks quite nice if I ignore the control bar being at the bottom, which just doesn't work for me although it is better than in S1. What I don't really see is anything that I can't already do. The nag screen is laughable.....we need money to make it free LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starship Krupa Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 21 hours ago, aidan o driscoll said: as freebies go, a pop up is par for the course Mm, not in my experience. Most of the software I use is freeware, and very few have beg screens. Especially with creative software, where I fire it up when I am inspired, having to click through a beg screen....just ain't gonna happen. The way Meldaproduction handles it, where with the Free Bundle there is a small banner at the bottom of the UI (and non-essential "pro" features if you choose to pay), is what I prefer. And in the case of that company, I used the free versions for years before eventually purchasing hundreds of dollars worth of licenses from them. The way REAPER does it, as trialware that starts nagging after the (generous) trial period is up, is good too. Let it be beg-free for a month before the pitch starts to let people decide whether they like it before being confronted with the guilt screen. I don't mind being asked for a donation, but not by having to click through a guilt trip. And if paying makes the nag go away or alters the program, it's not a "donation," it's a commercial license. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know which version of REAPER you're using that has that feature. The nag screen is always there the first time you run it and it also lists how long you used the program and how many times you ran it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use it for 60 days without any nag, but after the 60 days you must buy a license, that is why the nag screen is showed after the 60 days period. By the way, Reaper is not free. You should buy a license (which is quite affordable) if you plan to keep using it after the 60 days trial period.

They always have the nag screen from the beginning. That's across installs in different operating systems, different machines and so on. If reaper somehow knows something, I'm a bit concerned.
