topic should have been called "Warning: cant activate Samplitude se offline"

simple....whether you connect to the internet or not with your DAW is your biznass....god i hate that word/acronym [daw]....just make music man, DAW is nothing without the musician what happens when THEY get a virus lol

but basically am i the ONLY one who thinks topic was misleading, and upon reading....downright wrong?

2006...war in iraq...war in afghanistan...iran acting the c**t (again)...a mentalcase as president in america (again )...disciplining children illegal more or less...australia not been nuked yet....of course it's a scandal

i know....

i can see it now...

"kvr members took to the streets today in an apparent outrage and scandal......it seems this band of revolutionaries audiophiles have been pushed to the breaking point by the evil coproration magix.......which the people out protesting and claiming scandal would call 'Black Magix'....more from our field reporter, Allen..."

lmao...lemme go get coffee...

To clarify this again: Samplitude professional and Samplitude classic can be registered offline, only Samplitude SE needs an online-connection.

Okay, i will make a banner against the dongle of Samplitude professional, i really hate it. I hoped that a can use Samplitude SE as my on the road version, but it has the limitation, that you can't define your own shortcuts, and i work a lot with (own defined) keyboard shortcuts

Maybe i should make two banner, the second against the keyboard shortcut limitation, i really think that's a big scandal

Scandal? No.

Annoyance to some? Yes.

Worth the bother and fuss? Not for me. I'm happy with my host.

My DAW? I have dialup and run ZoneAlarm when I get online. Viruses? None. Malware? None. Well, I consider Windows malware but my PowerBook is too weak to use as a DAW.. lol!

If I'm not the only person saying it, do my words have a bit more meaning?

Actually, that is only true if the router is doing NAT (= Network Address Translations). The fact is that there are companies that 'sell' the idea that a common router is as good as a firewall, which is certainly not the case. Even a NAT-router is in itself not the equivalent to a good firewall. A real firewall does a lot more (things like packet inspection, intrusion detection and such).

One other thing, 'hardware' firewalls are actually also software and therefor subject to security holes and exploits. That's why I have a full linux iptables based firewall in front of my wifi-router

Know nothing about linux really by the way, just read a few bits & bobs on various distros that are good for that specific purpose.
I wouldn't really bother, but our lass & my daughter are a little less savvy than me.

If you have an old machine that you can dedicate to this (like I did) then just grab a copy of IPcop (www.ipcop.org) or smoothwall (www.smoothwall.org) and you're there

I'm running a IPcop box at home (used to be a smoothwall box) and a smoothwall box at my office. Both install straight from one small ISO-download and are up and running in about 30 minutes without any specific Linux knowledge

It's a while since i've done some research, but i'll definately check those out.

One of the funniest threads lately...

. I'm, too, connected to the internet 24/7 for 5 years now. No problems, everything still running smoothly and still using the same Win2K I installed 5 years ago. No AV, only hardware firewall and a lot of common sense

. I can't understand this hype about DAW's not connecting to internet, it's utter BS IMHO, though for some people [not very knowledgable about computers], the fear of losing the data just by connecting to the internet is quite understandable, I must admit. However, to me, it looks just like plain paranoia. I know more than a few of such creatures, because I'm the one who've assembled those "DAW" computers for them. To me, it's like driving a car: when you don't know how to do it - you drive carefully, and when you know how to do it - you drive like you should drive normally [or like a madman - depends upon your taste]. I like driving my computer and my car both like a madman...

Life would be a bore, if not living it on the edge, wouldn't you agree?

Cheers!

Wow, coming back late to the party. This thread has generated quite some heat , he?

Anyway, I only decided to test Sam 8 SE to see what it's all about. I'm running my recording environment of choice since a while, so I don't get excited about it.

But as everything is worth a look (if you can freely test it), I've just thought to give it a try.
If it can't be installed on my DAW partition, without connecting to the net, I don't mind. I happen to not run any unused stuff/crap on my music partition, but this is more for performance reasons then for security (which is a nice side effect nontheless). However. I haven't had enough time to really try it, just some quick lookarounds, and even though it has some really nice features, it works quite different from my usual host (LIVE 5 - & SX 3 in my friends house). So I don't think it'll change anything re: my preference.

Enjoy (or not

) this cool little freebie

Raphael
