I think he's done some wonderful stuff over the years especially Neptunes and production for Kellis, but the amount they would have had to pay him is absurd, as you say not right for that position.

Hey man, he just took the job. Someone had to offer it to him and agree to pay him for that to have happened. I don't blame for Pharrell for Roli's misfortunes.masterhiggins wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 5:01 pmThanks.

Wonder what is going to happen with challenge/response auth or it'll go ilok. Don't necessary want ilok but I want a product I can't install in the future even less

I feel like iLok would be more of a challenge due to all the third-party libraries. Like, what would happen with my DrumDrops and Platinum Samples packs? You'd issue iLok auths for those? Would Platinum Samples and Drum Drops need to agree and be involved? Seems messy. I think they'd have to keep a version of the CR Auth system in place.

When I think of InMusic, I think of DJ. That, and the potential move to iLok are the major concerns I have.
Wonder what the current situation is, regarding transfers

I dunno how I feel about this. I'm not a fan of these faceless companies and conglomerates acquiring stuff I use. I'm sad that this has happened to BFD, as I really care about it; it's my acoustic drum go-to for which I have tonnes of additional content. I know it hasn't had any revolutionary updates in quite a while, but I considered it one of fxpansion's best assets. Maybe sales said otherwise (or they got their worth from this acquisition). Then again, I should have seen this happening after the ROLI thing. Man, fxpansion were one of my favourite devs, and British too! Oh well.
I'll see how this plays out before I consider moving to an alternative. BFD still does it's job without any issues at this point so nothing to cry about, yet.

If Apple fails I blame Tim Cook. Not sure why this standard differs for audio company CEOs.revvy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 5:10 pmAh yes, always good to blame the wrong folks.
