I'm poor too, and although i always wanted a NFR of Zebra and a good "Pro" compressor i came here for another thing, to say that i would like to help.
Due i don't have money (i'm desemployed since months and no luck yet) and i can't donate money, i would like to help making a post when that sub-thread have been created finally, with tons of links to free stuff, to the best of the best freebies, to the best free samples, to the best websites with helpful information and freebies (bpb, rekkerd, etc), so people could recommend that topic to people who are into warez.
For example, you have a friend who got into warez, so you recommend this sub-thread to him. For example "Hey, stop using that, you are doing it wrong, that's not so good for developers which made a great effort and wasted their time for you download their stuff for free, look, go to this link, you will find amazing stuff there, tutorials, free synths, free effects, free samples, free tutorials, donations, contests, categorized, the best of the best."
These people won't say not. I think that, at least, they will take a look.
I think that if you just say to your friend, "Surf over internet, you will find free stuff" it's not enough, you must guide and to be precise.
What i want to say is, this will be like a GUIDE. Let's call it "The thread for guide you musically and honestly from beginning.", to start honestly with music, to learn things, tutorials, to download free stuff, the contest which have been already proposed, histories of poor people and how they grew up musically, donations from devs, free sharing presets, banks, skins, demotracks made by people for pushing up the devs sales, feedback, demotracks, samples, etc.
This is like a compressed sub-thread community of people who want to help others, devs, beginners, and ex-warez guys.
And that would be a huge LOVE project. Hard to do? Yes, Worth it? Aswell.
It would be like a compressed KVR thread about the best of best, in KVR forums.
Yes, i know that the whole KVR forum is in fact this, but a bit messy, so i would just put all this ordered and compressed, for people, for poors, and in a way, it's a good thing for devs too.
What would be in that sub-thread?
-The contest idea is a good one.
-Free sharing presets, demotracks, skins, for and from devs is another good idea.
-Talking about your history, another good one.
-Donations from devs, and whoever, another big one.
-The freebie list.
This is my idea. Once that sub-thread is created, i will start making the whole list. I'm just waiting for that sub-thread, i hope Ben will say yes.
People are welcome to help me with that list of course (it would be higly appreciated). We could have a chat party to share ideas in private, before posting links, etc.
I have passed a couple of years testing freebies, so i'm very aware of them, which one are nice to start with, which are best, which are low on CPU, which have a nice and inspiring gui, etc.
I have tried tons of free samples too.
Man, that's a huge project and marvelous thing, and people should go into this sub-thread, despite if they are or not into warez.
I think it would be a nice thread to start with music, for feedback, for sharing, for helping to others.
Beginners worth it.
Musicians worth it.
Developers worth it.
Art worth it.
My two cents.
Big love to everyone.
Love back. d=
