i don't care personally and honestly, as i don't own it. however i think that 15 seconds is important. by your rationale, the more amount of time you spend waiting for things on a computer is a good thing? what kind of backwards mindset is that? i suppose you want it to take longer to get things accomplished so you can ... i don't know? do what in the meantime while you stand there with axe around your neck and mouse in hand waiting for the machine to catch up to what you are trying to do ... ?Hink wrote:@ grymjack dude it's 15 seconds...I can assure you that I would never have 15 seconds make the difference between a good track and a bad one...if that's the case you need to do some good ol fashion practice...I'm not usually the one to call people lame whiners and such....but in this case I am calling it as I see it...it is lame to complain about 15 seconds...and no I don't have AT2, so I'm not a fanboy..in fact I am a man, not a boy (can't say the same about people who complain about 15 seconds)...so I have issuesPatience use to be a virtue, now it's an issue....while you guys whine...I'm playing because in my world 15 seconds is a tremendous step up.
BTW I don't know about you, but when I record a take I like...I spend a hell of lot more time listening to the take in deciding whether to keep it or not.
15 seconds...oh if that were my only complaint about things I would be pretty happy......sorry if you feel insulted...if you do feel insulted by my pointing out the extremely obvious, and it effects you that much...then I contend it is you with issues....I mean if it were 15 seconds before every take I could see that...but in just loading once? FWIW latency is a far bigger thing to complain about then that.
so no calling people whiners and lame over 15 seconds is not severe...not at all, in fact I think I exercised restraint...
a company selling a product for $300 new and $150 for an upgrade, using dongle crap which slows it down (possibly) and forcing loyal users to do so as well with no alternative to keep the upgrade path alive, AND by proxy of these practices makes us WAIT for it to load, regardless of one time or three times a day, SHOULD care about that 15 seconds because it's 15 seconds the impatient customers could be looking for alternatives that don't make them wait around needlessly. amberience; if you could remove that 15 seconds you would right? of course, and i bet hink would too.
consider this version it's 15 seconds and next version what 30 seconds? a minute? what is the arbitrary amount of time that matters in your world hink? as for patience, personally i'm very patient but when it comes to music and expression i NEED it to be there, ready, without fail. i need to be able to push the button, and start playing, not push, wait with mouse in hand, and guitar around my neck going dum de dum de dum. subsequent versions of products are supposed to improve this kind of thing not make it worse than it was before.
i can relate to what you are saying and i agree to a point, patience is a virtue, but it's also unreasonable for a modern computer which can (if setup to do so and programmed as such) to be slower than hardware alternatives - i have a much faster cpu and more ram in my computer than i do in my guitarport, but i bet if the guitarport needed a dongle it'd take 15 seconds to "warm up" too.
this is the point: we shouldn't have to wait, this is a step backwards, regardless of the time wasted, and regardless of how you can justify the time or how simply unbelievable it is to YOU. i think you'd be singing a different tune if you had to deal with this yourself.
