Glad everyone has such confidence in my work and vision. It wasn't even supposed to be publicized, but Steven doesn't know how to publish the website's pages since it's done in Wordpress - the entire post was supposed to say "On July 31st we will be discontinuing MixControl Pro, and I will be developing a new version which current users will receive for free." But funny enough, with my luck, only the first part was published. Yes, Micheal Olsen is no longer working with us, and yes, it is near impossible for me to get him to fix anything since his e-mail doesn't work when I email him (our server's fault), and I wouldn't expect him to because it made him zero income, so I am going to contract another developer to write MixControl Pro V2 for me when I'm finished with Wave Designer, and everyone who has MCP currently will get MCP V2 for free. Good? f**k, I need to do the web stuff by myself cos it seems that even this content management system is too much for some people. Sorry Steven. The amount of support requests I get for MCP is just unmanageable, and I need a developer who is going to be available to fix bugs when they arise. That will happen, and I'll make sure it does.

You shouldn't give it away free to us owners of the actual version. We would pay a small upgrade fee, really. This product is worth money.

you can always tell when a product jumps from $19 to $99 to $79 to $39 to free with another purchase and back around again...

it's a shame for the customer when there is no consistancy.

Really? Flakes? Ok.. How about you run a company that for some reason people think is a major player, when indeed it is really just me, now that my pops has Alzheimer's. I got back into this business when I had no reason to. I could have just let the whole thing bomb and all of you could complain. Instead, I jumped out of a hospital bed and made the most of what I could with this company, considering that I've spent almost 6 months fighting to save my life. I could really give a shit less what you think. I did this to make everyone happy, when I could have just said "f**k yourself" like spin audio did.

What would you have thought reading that title?
Did you know that Garritan's Authorised Steinway has been secretly discontinued?
Without any notice! Although the representatives later joined the discussion to confirm it (and to promise that there will be an update released soon - thanks for that.)

Come on, don't take it personally

Those who use MixControlPro would have been very sad if it was indeed discontinued,
and that should give you confidence in your user-base

Okay, as Compyfox said, it would have been better to first contact you@TeamDNR to find out
what's going on... but where would be all the fun

So there will be v2?

I wouldn't mind a small upgrade fee to further support the development, too.

Greetings

+1

If you are going to enhance this great channelstrip plugin, then please do not hesitate to ask an upgrade price!

Simply because it's worth it. The product AND the company that releases it

Chuck an upgrade charge on it, no complaint from your userbase, MCP is worth every penny.

V2 to look forward too, can't fault that. Although you can understand why people thought the worst.

@rlahalla - FWIW, I think this is a great product, and apparently many others do too. Like others, I was disappointed when I thought it wouldn't be supported further, but that certainly doesn't diminish the quality of the product I bought.

Now, to find out that you ARE committed to further development is great news. Free upgrade or not, rest assured that there are many here that appreciate your commitment and integrity.

Cheers

+1 on the upgrade fee. You deserve it. As an opening gambit of a suggestion, twenty bucks would be more than fair, I think, and give you some fast cash for your time and trouble.

rlahalla · Post by **rlahalla** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 9:02 pm

There will be no upgrade fee for current users. That's all I'll say.

scalawag · Post by **scalawag** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 9:08 pm

I apologize to all forum users for the misleading information!
I really wish all the best to rlahalla!
+1 for the small fee!

well, i would also have echoed the sentiment to pay for upgrade, however you seem pretty adamant

let us know if we can help out in any other ways during the course of development

Woohoo, great to hear that the MCP story continues

reason, you have my best wishes, both for your business and your private life.

I agree that a reasonable upgrade fee would make sense. Worst case: no current user upgrades. So what? That's not worse than providing the upgrade for free.

It's not as if MCP v1 is unusable and wouldn't work without an update. So if you provide sufficient added value in v2 an upgrade fee is justified IMO.

See e.g. the announcement of Kirnu v2. v1 was a great (free) arpeggiator, v2 will add some great new features and will be payware. Sounds like a reasonable path to me.

Not that I want to talk into your business. I'm just trying to show support

I would pay a reasonable upgrade fee.

MixControl Pro Discontinued, V2 TBA.
