Fruity Loops 6 Rewired to Cubase is out of sync... why?

[tuz]

wow, seeing how shitty a job Image-Line does with making their software work as it should makes me wish I HAD pirated the software..

I guess the old saying "Try BEFORE Buy" should be the rule to go by, even though most of the greedy motherfuckers who run the production of commercial software would rather not allow us to do that.. "Try Before Buy" as a form of economic self defense, to avoid getting ripped off by paying money for software that doesn't work.

isn't fl's demo a full demo? everything works but you can't save? if that's the case, you could've tried before you bought. which leads to the next question, why did you buy it without trying?

the rest of what i write is solely based on the assumption that fl has a full working demo. if not, i apologize. this assumption also raises questions like are you just a plain idiot or a misinformed idiot. again, if my assumption is wrong then i sincerely apologize.

if you're such an idealist, you should've downloaded the warez version and donated to the poor. put your money where your mouth is or shut the f**k up. nobody forces you to buy shit. you click the button and you pay. be it image line or red cross. if you're so unhappy with the software, write to image line explaining the situation and beg for your money back. there's a 0.1% chance that you'll get your money back, but you could try.

but fear not... there will will still be plenty of people who, without having researched the topic and thus not having found out that their position is not supported by the facts, think that laissez-faire capitalism is a good, or even the best, system of social organization for maximizing the wellbeing of the world's population. These people will continue to blindly throw their money to the slave driving vampires that grow fat from draining the blood of the poor and starving.

Also, if profits raise or drop within a fairly large window percentage wise, the wages of the people that actually work for the commercial software development companies will not be affected. The reason for this is
that companies are making a huge profit, and are already paying their employees the absolute minimum amount possible in order to further maximize profit for the owner(s).

Of course, the companies may use reduced (although still enormous) profits as a pretense for further cutting wages. However, the best defense against a fat man who wants to beat you and steal your livelihood is not to simply hand over your livelihood to him... A much better solution would be for workers to organize, unionize, and strike in order to force the owners to provide better wages. This is the only method that has ever worked to improve the standard of living of working people... People in the United States might take note of the many examples of this in the history of this country, if they weren't so often and so conveniently wiped from the history books.

To put it concisely, all working people in the US (and most of the world) used to be like slaves (and in many ways, still are, although not to as an extreme extent as they once were in the first world countries). 14-16 hour work days, abysmal working conditions , dirt pay, child labor... children and their parents forced to work so many hours that they barely knew each other, aside from sleeping in the same dismal room. The only way that any of this was forced to change was through worker organization, unionization, and strike... and always against the wishes and subversion of the rich and the government that serves them. There are many examples of the rich using the police, hired thugs, and even the US military to violently suppress worker organization, unionization, and strike. However, working people fought, many times were murdered by the aforementioned groups, and continue to fight for a more equitable distribution of society's resources... which brings us to the imperfect and terrible, although marginally improved, state of affairs that we live in today. But never forget where we, as working people, have come from, and about the abuse that we continue to endure, the handful of wrongs that have been righted, and the plethora of almost unimaginable injustices that continue to be perpetrated... and if you are ignorant to these injustices, I would recommend doing some research into them.

Don't really know how relevant your little rantlet is to the particular subject at hand, but I mostly couldn't agree more with your opinions on the exploitation of labour/the 'working' class etc.
Good man
Completely O.T., but our lass is being made to work 'obligatory' overtime at work - she has to put this 6 hour shift in (even though it's not contracted), due to her situatu=ion with holidays etc. the only day she can do it is may day.
So she & a few of her colleagues are being made to work a 6 hour block of enforced overtime, no dinner breaks etc. on vdu's on mayday - of all the days, fuckin mayday!!!!!!
I blew my top somewhat.
Anyway enjoyed your rant.
