for all whiners and w@nkers (like me) and all ever optimistics and mackie lovers.

IMO

I personally wish the Mackie thing never happened. But that's just me. I'm sure Jules' bankbook appreciates the arrangement.

Lets just assume for a minute that Jules didn't sign any Mackie deal, or any other deal with anyone else, and was still just one bloke selling a few copies of an obscure DAW app to a handful of faithful followers.

How long do you think it would take a talented chap like Jules to get an more lucrative job offer?

You are not living in the real world: either Jules had to step up a notch or two and start elbowing the established names out of the way (which requires some marketing clout) or get a real job with a salary that reflected his talents.

Just how many hours of Jules' time do you think your $80 bought? If you want Tracktion to have all the fancy bells and whistles, you need to either pay Jules his hourly rate to write you bespoke software, or accept that the user base needs to get much larger, and reach a little deeper into its pockets.

All these people having tantrums about Mackie's invlovement need to grow up IMO.

I would like to see one good thing about if Jules wouldn't have signed with Mackie. And don't say that he would be closer to his userbase, because nobody knows what it would have been like the past few months while doing heavy coding. And even giving you that fact that it MAY have been true, how long did you really expect Jules to keep coding this way and actually put food on his table? I really don't understand how people can complain every two minutes about something that is doing nothing but benefitting them. So ungrateful, so ignorant, and very unrealistic. Really, we shouldn't have to defend Mackie on this. It's been a win-win situation. Get real folks.

I'm not complaining, I was just answering the question. I'm guessing more T1 bugs would have gotten fixed and more features added. Remember how it was pre-Mackie? I think it would have been like that. Of course Jules may have needed to go find a job and T1 might have become abandonware. But this is all speculative. T1 could have gotten huge under Jules without a Mackie influence too. You never know.

t1 was and is a great product that have had a lot of feedback even in magazines and there are only a handfull of sequencers out there. so it would have get the same response in magazines, forums, websites... thats better than some advertising.

quick question ... how much time out of coding T1 do you think it cost jules to be consistently present on the forums here and dealing with all the BR / FR posts / PMs / emails ???

Probably about the same he spends in corporate meetings and dealing with email. Wait, that's actually probably much more than he spent on these forums. Silly me

thats ok if youre a small fish ... but not if youre trying to 'win' customers from other sequencers / recording methods ... if youre in that game then profile is (almost - having a GREAT product helps) EVERYTHING ... double-page ads in all the major mags is pretty much compulsory ...

... like it or not ... this is where T2 is going ... youre either on the bus or standing frozen in the headlights ...

I was at the Imax with my girlfriend (we saw Kilmanjaro, which unfortunately was not an Omnimax (ie. with the dome) presentation), after which we had some lovely Vietnamese cuisine, followed by cuddling on a couch watching a movie (Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason, which wasn't too bad) and then a quick nap before I came home.

It may not seem like it sometimes, but I DO have a life, ya know.
