the majority of people that download software never make there money most people i know that purdhase their software make their money back 10 times over i don't know about you and where you live and but over here in new york its about your hustle and how you get money. networking perfecting your craft even if you sell beats at 50 dollars a pop people will spend money if they like now lets say you book studio time for cats since everybody is rapper nowadays you'll make your money quick fast learn how to grind with what you have its the software is not that expensive i just bought a micrphone that cost the same price as reason and record combined. but yet i will probably make more of my reason/record purchase that i woudl just using the microphone i just purchased and you can compare software to hardware software is the cheaper verison of hardware all you need is a midi controller and you can achieve pretty 90 percent of the hardware sounds with software

and comparing the cost of SOFTWARE to HARDWARE is ridiculous. saying that the equivalent of reason in hardware would cost thousands makes no sense.
if you feel like you need to purchase music software for whatever reason eg. fear of viruses, wanting to respect your tools, making a conscious commitment to your craft, you just have the money, you want to support the developer, etc.. then please go ahead and purchase your software. but i just hate people who openly say you don't respect people who use pirated software you just come off as very closed minded. remember there are a lot of people out there who would laugh at you for spending money on something you could have gotten for free.

how do i come off as narrow mind because i dont respect people who steal their software instead of purchasing it. if you take your music serious then you would purchase your software. or you would grind to get your software the legal. plus you'll feel better about yourself knowing that you purchased your software. if its a hobby then dont' intend to make off of it. but people like myself i love to make music so much that it became my natural high and a business for me. i make more money booking studio time recording artist then i would doing a 9 to 5 and all i charge $35 a hour at a 4 hour minimum on top of that the lowest i'll sell my beats to locals cats is $100 to 200 a pop. that so called cats that talk that big money my price range will go from 500 to 1,000 per beat. and low budget artist real low budget i might go to 50 dollars but best believe they won't be getting my best beats. the get some weak trash but if they like and want to spend money why not right.

we see music in different ways. you view it more as a business type thing. i do music because i love it. other musicians i know in real life make music for the same reason. btw i don't want assumptions being made but i've paid for all the software (and hardware) that i own with the exception of recycle. god damn propellerheads.

lets get this straight music is my love. i've been doing music for almost all my life, what im stating it shoudln't be a problem for you to make your money back that you put into your studio. all you have to do is network. i live in ny/nj area so i guess you have to grind out here more than most places but its money everywhere you just have to go out and get it.

you are coming off as extremely narrow minded because you assume that because you operate in such a way that it is correct and other ways are wrong.
who are you to say that people will "feel better" if they purchase their software? not everybody in the world is alike. that's the great thing about life.
music is a business to you. great. but don't say you have no respect for people who use pirated software. don't imply or assume that people who use pirated software don't take their music seriously.

i dont have respect for those that use pirated software. they stole their software they dont understand the time and effort it takes these companies to make the software that's like taking years to design somehting and you sell to make some money from your work and you have a bunch of people who just come and steal your hardwork stuff you wouldn't have respect for those people as well.

i already said the only pirated software i use is recycle. tbh i don't even use it that much anymore. but i did use it quite a bit for a long time when i was working exclusively with reason.
but what exactly in my statement leads you to believe that i use pirated software and ALL of my software is pirated. you can know that from reading a post on a message board?
