I am not affiliated, and have not been affiliated with Transparent Corp. for many years. I'm in the same boat is you bro.Look JoeV/ Adam Hewitt..
The people here aren't asking for much, they just want the Software they PAID FOR working on their computers; We're are even making (time consuming) compromises to get this software to work.. THERE IS A SOLUTION, THERE IS A SOLUTION.
At first this was my thought as well. Upon further contemplation I realize that such a venture would take at least a year or two and a lot of effort. Assembling some kind of a business plan to assure investors that a profit can be made on such a venture would be a dubious task. There would be no guarantee that such a venture would result in the same outcome as Transparent Corp.I am yet another person who bought the $700 package who is upset.
OK. We got screwed. How about we Kickstarter something? All the alternatives for creating commercial content are sub par to what Transparent produced.
1. We could Kickstarter a replacement software solution. The science is not that hard.
2. We could Kickstarter a Hack. We bought it. Lets get someone to crack the security and allow us to keep using our software on either Windows 7 machines or Windows 7 Virtual Machines.
Thoughts?
I agree with this. This would be the fastest way to get some semblance of a MWS replacement relatively cheap. I am leaning towards Reaper. It is a very powerful DAW, very cheap if not free, and very plastic. It can be molded to any form you want, and the developers seem to encourage that. The only problem is that it is very complex. The learning curve would be quite an undertaking as is. Making a commercially available product would be a customer service nightmare. Best solution would be shareware and leave the training to use the product mostly in the hands of the user.Time to move on and look to new solutions for creating AS/SS content.
Personally, I've given up on my copy of MWS and NP3 and am investigating the possibility of creating a SS DAW plug-in which I think would be the fastest and easiest way forward. There probably is one for AS already; there's certainly plenty of AS creation software out there, so SS is the main issue, even though there are ways to create SS content using MuLab and Audacity, I'd like to see something that works with Reaper and other favourite DAW software.
PDF copies of NP3 and MWS Help Documentation. A wealth of information here.I suggest a group effort to preserve everything we can. Downloaded install files of various revision levels. Archived materials from the Members Area. Etc.
We bought licenses that last forever. I do not see any legal jeopardy in us working together to archive the paid for material and even crack the security. We would only enter legal jeopardy if we started selling it (the software, not our content) or giving it away.
If there is interest I will donate a domain for depositing the files. We can even member lock it to prevent mass distribution.
Lets preserve what we have the legal right to. Then figure the next step. I am not ready to lose access to this tech. Its too damn useful and nothing on the market compares.
