Thanks Bit..exactly...
Let me clear the record for the inquiring minds...I buy cheap and sell for a minor
(very minor) profit.
The only income I have, due to taking care of my Mom now for
over a year, therefore not being able to work, is the pittance that I make
from the band (and that just started making money) . So I supplement that
by buying these things cheap and selling them at very minor profit...otherwise
I'd have a lot of things I'd never use...many I do lose money on to get rid of them...
ST 3, to me, is the biggest farce perpetrated on the music community...
in every way possible. They touted "10 years in the making"
and come out with a laughable "Player" for $350! I'd be surprised
if they spent more then a year on it personally.
If I thought it were a decent program I would keep it...but I don't...
I have Kontakt, with Komplete 9, and K10 update on the
way as soon as it's released. (I pre-ordered)
It would be far worse to "bash the product" not knowing anything about it,
but knowing the history, and that the program is "mediocre" for $350
would be enough to bash it without ever having tried it, due to their
"EXTREME" lack of support. I did evaluate it briefly at GC, but, I felt it would
be more appropriate to at least "try" the program and give it "fair" evaluation.
Someone was selling it cheap...I bought it solely for the purpose of having a more
"objective" point of view, and knowing that I could get rid of it at least for
what I paid for it.
It is quite "lackluster" for a program that costs that much...but that's just
my opinion...others are entitled to theirs..
