I just assumed "instructive sound" was a case of creative doublespeak. It instructs you that they're still waiting for your money.
I have uninstalled many a demo because of intrusive and annoying beeps, noise bursts or dropouts. Limiting functionality such as saving presets is reasonable, but how the heck are you supposed to evaluate a product that only works for 20 seconds at a time?
Exactly. Are they so afraid someone is going to "steal" a minutes worth of their sampled software? You'd have to be pretty hard up to try and edit and splice 20 seconds or a minute's worth of audio.
Three-Body Technology if you're reading this, please consider changing the "instructive sound" to at least one minute.
Your potential customers want to check out your software, but it's very difficult and frustrating at intrusive sounds every 20 seconds. It's just not worth downloading with those kind of limitations!
Hi,
Thanks for the advice! The thing is, within one hour we released the demo, somebody made a 3 minutes song using the demo to let us kone it's not "demo" enough. That's why we have to make it 20 seconds.
That's understandable, but perhaps a compromise that would secure your software in demo form AND allow users to try it without being really annoyed. As was suggested, a short beep or audio dropout for 2 seconds would be enough to prevent anyone making a song but also not intrusive enough to allow users to try out the demo without excessive interruptions. A 5 second interruption "Thank you for trying our demo" followed by a drumroll, every 20 seconds doesn't leave much time to listen to the software properly.
So how about a 2 second beep every 45 seconds?
As it is now, I don't think I'll be downloading the demo with the current limitations. For me, it's just not worth it.
