Something's happened to lower the tone around here. I don't know for sure, but it used to be more friendly and less confrontational. Happy days.




It does get like that from time to time.

OK I have to be honest. I don't feel comfortable posting anymore because there's no tolerance for an opinion. I gave my review about the recent update and Craig Anderton tore me a new one. To quote:
 
"Furthermore, I would hardly call 126 IR impulses, 436 MB of loops (which I spent many, many hours editing and tweaking for proper stretching in both WAV and REX formats), an amp optimized for acoustic guitars, and all the other goodies as "floor sweepings." If you actually knew something about loops, and compared them to other commercially available loops, I highly doubt you would call them "floor sweepings."
 
Anyway, you're going to get a year of loops because I do really good loops , and people use them. The loops I did for M-Audio, Wizoo, and Discrete Drums were some of their best-selling titles. Now members get the same level of quality for free. 
 
IF this is the new way, I'm not optimistic. I don't know anything about loops and dance music so the upcoming releases will be useless to me. I also didn't enjoy the comments about how hard he worked on them because it makes it sound like he's doing it all for free out of human kindness. I doubt that anything gets done for free.
 
So add me to the list of users that will be pulling back from forum discussion and contribution. The new amp discussion I started in the hardware forum is the last I'm going to start.
 
By the way, I never criticized his work. He's a superstar and he knows it.

That's a shame John, but I suspect you're not alone.

Yup, it seems that you either agree or you are wrong.

I hope you stick around here downstairs and in the lower level forums. Your presence and contributions are greatly appreciated, John.

From my perspective this is a peculiar comment unless I read it wrong. I didn't read the thread (no URL reference) so maybe I'm misunderstanding

I assume you said that you thought Craig's contributions were 'floor sweepings' (Craig quoted this), and yet you said you never critisized his work and that you wrote a review? What am I not understanding? Or am I or he misquoting ?

Also ..

You also stated loops etc would be useless to you. I wondered if you considered that it might be useful for somebody else?

Also you say that there is no tolerance for an opinion and therefore you aren't going to post any more. Is this because you are not prepared to tolerate Craig's opinion?

The bit about Craig thinking he was doing it out of human kindness? The bit about him saying he is doing it for free? Do you have a quote? How do you get to that assumption? The bit about hard work.. Well shouldn't he be allowed to express this?

Not trying to have a go, I'm just trying to understand your thought processes... I can't see what Craig has done so bad other than disagreeing, voicing his opinion and standing up for his own work. Should he not do this in future?

Sorry ALex, but I'm done with that discussion. If you check my post, you'll find I said that I would be pulling back and not starting new posts. What that means is that I'm not as interested in engaging on the forums and I won't start any more threads that could be remotely considered as critical of any one. It's just not worth it and much easier to go with the flow. Ciao.

OK but please note I was just totally perplexed with what you said. I could only write it raw. I'm not on an offensive I just don't understand how you interpreted that post the way you did.. Cheers..
