It seemed like a good idea at the time but actually I found it easy to just maximise the area I was working on than move my neck when I swapped the primary display from 22 to 32

Probably yes. I largely belong to the same minority. I would, as I wrote before, have paid €129 for just the Combinator2, especially if a tad more complete on day one. My first attempted C2 build, a remote control for a particular pipe organ VST-plug-in, needed forty buttons for the stops, as one does, on a medium-sized organ, and I had a working layout going well, until I hit the arbitrary limit of 32. Oh, well, it turned out that when I operate stops via MIDI or from within the plug-in GUI, their state doesn't feed back to the mapped buttons on the C2, which might not even be possible, come to think of it, so I guess my idea was a bit broken from the start...TritoneAddiction wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021I'm probably in the minority, but I'd rather have a smaller upgrade where everything feels polished and tightly integrated. I'd rather pay for that than having a couple of more features swimming around in a complete mess. I really value a hassle free experience and I would be willing to pay for that. That goes for the installation process as well.wikholm wrote: ↑06 Sep 2021Finally, more than a trend, I see "rolling releases" as a consequence of software getting so complex internally, that perfectly polished programs aren't that viable any more, lest we users starts saying less is more, and pays for the smallest possible feature set that could do the job. Until such a time, developers will dance to the beat of the market(ing).
I haven't spent that much active time here; mostly lurking as I'm still on R8.3. Seeing about R12 and it's relatively low upgrade price has me interested. Am too looking forward to how this all shakes out. One thing that has me on the fence is not being able to opt out of sending user data & such. Will we be able to opt out in a future update to R12? How/when does this data gets transmitted to the developers? This worries me more than the drama AttenuationHz is creating.EnochLight wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021I think it’s pretty clear that AttenuationHz has some sort of personal vendetta against us mods for some reason.

I did a short network sniffing and couldn't find something. I will go a bit deeper if i have some free time. The problem is, that i saw encrypted data and decryption would require illegal things...musicman691 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021I haven't spent that much active time here; mostly lurking as I'm still on R8.3.

That you saw encrypted data is scary. Wonder what was sending that data?Loque wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021I did a short network sniffing and couldn't find something.

Could be license checks. Nothing wrong with encryption per se.musicman691 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021That you saw encrypted data is scary. Wonder what was sending that data?

What you should be concerned about is if the data wasn't encrypted. It's 100% encrypted as well as anonymous and the data that RS gets doesn't identify you personally. It does, however, indicate how you use Reason. What devices you create. Whether you use it as RRP in another DAW or Reason standalone. Stuff like that. It helps them determine what's working and what's not. If you want more info, it's listed in the EULA at install.musicman691 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021That you saw encrypted data is scary.

Encrypting data is pretty standard nowadays. Nothing scary about it.musicman691 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021That you saw encrypted data is scary. Wonder what was sending that data?
But how good is the encryption? Nothing is bullet proof. I've seen far too many supposedly secure systems hacked into.EnochLight wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021musicman691 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021One thing that has me on the fence is not being able to opt out of sending user data & such.

In a nutshell, there are effectively uncrackable encryption algorithms that are well sorted by must programming languages.musicman691 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021But how good is the encryption?

Are we ever going to be able to opt out of sending the data or not? A simple yes or no would suffice. And on this - why was it changed from being able to opt out to taking that choice away? I don't want anyone to see how I use something - it's none of their business.
The only programs that are supposedly unhackable are those run by alphabet government agencies. Anything less than that is open season. It's happened here in the USA. Took someone 5 minutes on a cellphone to get into a supposedly secure election database.avasopht wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021In a nutshell, there are effectively uncrackable encryption algorithms that are well sorted by must programming languages.musicman691 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021

Hacking involves more than just breaking the encryption - primarily espionage, digital infiltration and hacking the human.
You cannot opt out. There are no known plans, but who knows.
Why? Because it's valuable data that informs them on how they can create better software.
I never said unhackable program, but effectively uncrackable encryption. There's a big difference.musicman691 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021The only programs that are supposedly unhackable are those run by alphabet government agencies. Anything less than that is open season.

Thank you for your reply and you've just made up my mind for me and that is I will NOT be upgrading from R8.3 to R12. I don't care how valuable the data might be to someone as I said before people don't need to know how I'm using their program. I always opt out of these data sharing schemes. And if a program that formerly allowed opt out and no longer does - I don't care how neat or useful that program is it's time to cut and run.

Sure didn't come across like that. Even at Gearspace (used to be Gearslutz) they don't play these games. Came here for an honest discussion - nothing more. Either way being that it looks like we'll never get the ability to opt out of sending user data and such you won't be seeing me around here all that much (if at all). $129 to go to something worthwhile.EnochLight wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021musicman691 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021Now I know why I haven't been back here for a while.

What was posted was NOT a friendly jest. I didn't like that kind of crap when I was a kid and I don't like it now that I damned near 70. This is not a respectful place.avasopht wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021You're reading psychological intent that simply is not there.musicman691 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021

That is what normal friendly jest looks like. If you thought that was all malicious, you could benefit by better reading intent.
I respect your needs for privacy. It's your life.
This is a forum where people can unload and unwind in between driving our neighbors crazy with our ghastly blips and bloops.
