NVM... was looking at Music Studio not Music Maker.... disregard...

Why wouldn't it be relevant to musicians?

It feels cheap when the rhyming is done by machine

A Native Instruments "Cloud Nine" question:
Have any of you gone for it and more to the point, how are you handling your duplicate licenses?

Are you selling off your old ones and replacing them from within the package or just selling the unused/unregistered ones that came in the package?

Anyone know if NI is allowing it to be done either way?

I have bought it.
There are two expansions that I already had, I didn't authorise those two via SC. I emailed NI to ask them what are the steps to allow me to sell those two expansions. Haven't heard back yet, but I only did it a few hours ago.

You implied it wouldn't be useful to musicians.

I'm imagine most well-known songwriters use a dictionary, thesaurus, near-rhyme dictionary, or other such resources from time to time. That's basically what these tools are.

If the song's good, then who cares how it got there? How is that cheap? It doesn't write a song for you.

Are you like the implication police or something

I wrote: "Cakewalk is now starting to push regular office progs"

How the f*ck do you manage to read any implications from that, except if you are some kind of thought police?

Can musicians not use regular office progs?

Go ahead and buy it for all I care

For me, the fact that it's a subscription service seems to be more of an issue...

+1 Cakewalk also pushed Gobbler, look how that ended up

The implication was from your original post. You said it was a "regular office prog" and, via the confused emoticon, expressed uncertainty about why Cakewalk would be advertising for it. In my mind, that implies you believe it wouldn't be useful for musicians or at least didn't know what it was often used for.

I pointed out it is advertised (on it's own site) as a songwriting tool so it's not the big of a stretch for Cakewalk to partner to sell it.

Then you stated explicitly "it feels cheap when rhyming is done by machine".

I pointed out that it didn't write a song for you and that such tools might be useful for songwriters. Both points seemed reasonably non-controversial.

Then you inexplicably went apesh*t.


To BBFG#'s point: I was reasonably intrigued until I learned it was subscription based. At that price, I'm not interested.

Hopefully you can take the implication from that I find your nitpicking quite uninteresting.

One of the sellings points of MasterWriter is the following:
"The ultimate rhyming dictionary with over 100,000 entries, 36,000 Rhymed-Phrases, and a complete collection of close rhymes."

Compared to Bob Dylan or other 60's songwriters for example, that is rhyming by machine, and to me feels cheaper than if it came from a persons head, but that is an opinion I am entitled to.

Oh Great - another argument about absolutely sod all. Hooray !

And equally so,
what I'd like to know...
Do you suppose it does prose?
Or just rhyme all the time?

Have anyone seen a much better price (like at black friday etc) for Sparkverb than $128 now at audiodeluxe?
Another thing just to inform and update. I asked here if anyone had ever tried to upgrade from Waves LT Tune to Tune but nobody responded. Then I contacted Waves myself and they were actually not sure if that was possible (it wasn't possible in upgrades area at waves.com). After some hassle and mailing for some days I now got it for $54 (it was on sale for 100). That was a pretty good deal I think.

I hate shopping carts that e-mail me and ask, "Is everything okay? Do you want to talk? Just checking. For some reason you didn't finish checking out. I mean, only someone who was feeling sad would fail to checkout. I'm here for you. Come back."
