a quick question.

If somebody comes on these forums and asks for help with a certain synth are they a pirate?


p.s this isn`t trolling

People who use pirated software tend to follow certain traits. These traits are picked up by the developers of the vsti or host in question plus certain registered users of that software.

Does that answer the question?

I think i see where your coming from but it must be a fine line between displaying these traits and not considering some people get answers to their VSTi problems on here, whilst others are ridiculed.

Nope not really that fine a line, I don’t see ridicule happen that often here as most know by now that k-v-r does not support warze.

I`m not saying it occurs everyday, but it happens a fair bit on here.

I saw somebody on here asking about a reaktor4 problem about a month back and they were helped out by a number of people, no questions asked.

Yet I`ve also seen somebody enquiring about an Absynth bug and they were told to go to the NI forums and were slated a few posts later by people who were more or less accusing them of being big dirty theives


what gives?

I know whatcha mean becasue I've seen it before (just as Spe3d has pointed out on more than one occasion ). I'm not a developer by any means but I can usually tell when a question is somehow "warez" related. For the most part, many of the developers and their respective companies have forums and support for registered users so the questions that are "warez" related seem to be (for the most part) very simple matters that could be solved by looking in the manual that ships with the software. I could be wrong, but that's what I've noticed.

On the same hand it sucks when a legit user asks a question and gets the Spanish Inquisition of the software's legitmacy but that's life in this industry I suppose.

the usual dead giveaway is the question that goes....

I have Logic, SX, fruityloops, Orion and I can't get VSTi (x) working in any of them. I am 17 and don't really know what MIDI is. If I put my midi through a compressor will that get the VSTi working?
