How long have I been out?
Does anyone understand the technology enough to make a first post in a new thread with a positive message in the heading? It might help to get the word out to those who see 'headlines' and then vaguely remember problems that Soundpaint is now adequately programmed, as was always intended, to default to remaining registered when contact with home base cannot be established. There will still be some who are upset that it tries without asking permission from the user; but most people will be content if to know that there isn't a built in weakness here.
Avoiding developers or software due to technical issues is not unique to Soundpaint. In different ways, some of us have to avoid certain developers due to recurrent technical problems that render them unreliable on our own systems (examples that come to mind are Engine II on Macs and the Spitfire player on some people's systems - some people just cannot rely on them so do not use them). The fear was that there was an inbuilt weakness rendering Soundpaint unreliable on the system of anyone whose composing computer was ever connected to the internet. (There were also other fears, concerning permission, transparency, communication, and so on.) If someone with a genuine technical understanding of the programming can communicate this fully in an initial post to a new thread, it might get the message out there a little better.
Basically, I love what Soundpaint is doing and I want people who might enjoy it and benefit from it to know that it is a sound investment of time and money.
