@@KOSMIKFEADRECORDS Tell that to the Warez community.
@@mrjaquavis6444 poor Warez community. Still don't know the meaning of the word "tool". Guess they love their sucurity compromises and limited system lifespan.
Use to think Warez were cool too... Until I met the community with their copy cat mindset and stoned "trap/edm" that they paste all over the net for free (because you know they can offord to make nothing off releases because It cost them nothing).
The problem I have is that people who make music for free put out copy cat shit because they just don't respect the MEDIUM and its FORMAT. They can't innovate because they don't appreciate the time and expertise and genius it requires to Innovate.
They should go meet the DEVELOPER scene and make some inspiring music off of inspiring tools.
@@KOSMIKFEADRECORDS Not everyone is like that though. Most people just want to try out the software/plugins and see if its something for them. But ofc, there are people like you described too.
@@mrjaquavis6444 thanks for reminding me. You are right. The world does not fit In to a nutshell!

I'll buy plugins after I've made money with my cracked plugins.
thats it am with you on that
@@richarddower2801 Wrong. Thats a realistic mentality.
Boss level 1000
I'm thinking the same.
My good friend was having trouble with the purchased version of FL12, while a cracked version was working fine. Food for thought.
The real problem is money...we don't have enought money to buy all the best plugins. But i agree with you.
Learn with stock plugins then. Plugin companies have sales all the time. Just by 1 at a time if needs be and slowly build up your collection. Check out plugin boutique as they always have sales
You can't afford $29? Waves always have their sales...there's no excuse!
@@pvampman $29? What are you talking about? A good composer's library doesn't cost $29 but thousands and thousands euros. And with stock plugin you can't do anything, if u wanna have a good result you need good libraries
@@mntmntmnt I listen a demo of that plugin and it sounds good but I was not thinking about electronic music, I compose mainly soundtracks and orchestral music and I can assure you that with a free plugin/library you can't do anything good... and professional libraries cost way too much for a person who compose just for hobby!
@@pvampman i actually cant afford that
In 1977, NYC had a black 2-day blackout and plenty of people were looting stores. And many poor, aspiring hip-hop DJs/producers in particular were looting music equipment from electronic stores. That moment in time changed New York hip-hop forever... I'm not saying that what they did was right, but shows that you can't get the ball rolling when you can't even afford a ball to begin with
so hip hop wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for a 2 day blackout?
@@reubenza3781that’s the back story of-how it started, so yes..

Lol
you are so clever

As a student it's pretty damn hard to persue your hobby because of the prices
If Martin garrix can get rich and famous off of cracked plug ins, then so can we!

I'd buy plugins, but they are too damn expensive.
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview
A lot? I Don't think so. Lets say you would like to get Kontakt with three sub plugins. That's roughly over 1000 euros. In any case, thankfully some of the creators put them in sales during holidays, so personally, I bought the ones I need, let alone the rent to own policy which is great.
could you STOP YELLING... your voice is kinda HARSH and it stresses
Official Poa lmfao now that you say it gets on my nerves
he's just upset can't you tell?

Well done
From what I know the general mindset is ... will pay for it if I happen to make any money out of it.

yup, i used crax till i could buy now i buy nearly all of my software
@@ethnicalbert You a legend! thats the moto!
I know this is illegal, but this is my start in the music production and when I get the money I will buy the useful plugins that I need to complete my production
@@arcadepiano Nothing wrong with making a living from music. This London youtuber is sharing his experience I dont think thats greedy, get off your platform.

Where can I download crack plugins
I heard Avicii had all cracked plugins & daws
@@georgeelliot1493 Avicii's crimes against music are well known, but the likes of him and garrix not buying the stuff that enabled them to sell their shovelware sound to the plebs is just plain cheap.
"Giving them some money" (Yes) vs "Giving them tons of money" (No).
Facts..when will they sellout of a vst they made millions off? Never.
facts
as a student and having parents with no relation with learning music,there is no way to buy plugins for me.otherwise i dont have any intrest in crack plugins
avoime exactly , I work at McDonald’s
Cracking is an art in reverse engineering.
The quality and soul of the music you're making cannot depend on whether you have money or not. Money is not number one in the music industry.
Up to $50 dollars is okay for quality but simple vst effects. Up to $100 per pop for advanced vst effects. But no more. If it costs more than that its probably for a big expensive studio that sees it as an investment. Serum and Nexus are seriously overpriced though. I mean! its kinda really unaffordable, and then will be outdated soon by the next juggernaut. Its hard to justify.. the value is NOT there. But the tool is standard... hard to justify.
In the *industry*, yeah it absolutely is.
I LOVE my cracked Ozone Adv 9... lol
Me too
Do you have waves bundle ?
Do you make EDM?
Where can I download
Eunoia Ville same i need that
lol the people getting cracked plugins know this stuff they just dont care
Yes. The guy of the video don't really get the point of warez
hell yes XD. I crack every plugin i know it's illegal, but jesus christ. i just wanna make music!
@@jackminor3974 Can you hit me up on instagram - @waveonthebeat i would appreciate that man
yup im pretty sure more people have cracked fl studio then they have payed for it
@@0806linda In all honesty I still use the demo. Not cracked or anythin. I just make double sure not to accudently click "New" when I'm workin on a track lmao. I am however tryna get omnisphere
Having cracked plugins is like having all the women you want, when you want and at the exact moment you want them... aaaand... I make the wrong example
Point made tho lol
And there’s risk for getting viruses 😉
@@avyayk [Insert reandom dick vs. sanbox metaphor.]
@@avyayk it depends a lot cuz some types of code for crack programs antivirus considers is a virus, but its not
Chief, I hear you and I mean no disrespect, but you’re sitting in studio you could afford to build. We use cracked plugins cause we can barely pay bills. We’re just people with dreams. Not funds.
@Nick Boo hoo! Cuz he worked hes arse off to get it all. Try working your arse off then you probably can get the stuff streaky has.
Worked sitting in front of a camera spouting off bs…
Hardly call that a contribution to society, dum dum
Totally agreed, I used to install tonnes of cracked plugins and never found myself inspired by them because they were literally worthless to me. I don't really do sound engineering anymore but if I find myself getting back into it in the future, I'll definitely keep this video in mind!
Going from the stupid MIDI chord pack ad to Streaky is so heartwarming 👌👌
Great point. Also, I would say as a full time producer: You get so much more inspired to really work with your tools when you spend some money into it. It gives you a "this is mine, I´m gonna make the most out of it" instead of cracked->flip thru presets->next plugin->presets->next->next->next
u r right i felt that too
that's more of a personal thing. when i cracked nexus vs when i finally bought i felt worse cause i realized i just wasted money on something that could go to something much better like buying a tricycle
No thats not at all the case i felt just as inspired to make beats when i cracked nexus as when i bought omnisphere
Anton Malmberg not true stfu I use almost all of my plug ins,and I’m very inspired, people are mad because they have to pay
@@flipsergio2985 People are mad because certain people TAKE without ever GIVING. Its a F'd up message and you pay with LUCK.
"You won't get anywhere with cracked plugins" Sorry to break it to ya but there are hundreds of hugely successful producers in the music industry that used cracked plugins. Completely false and just a terrible point.
Never gonna crack software, been trying demos of plugins I've had my eyes on and now I'm patiently waiting for Black Friday 😂
To me, cracked plugins gave me the possibility to use and try plugins I couldn't afford. (without some random white noise or just 1 hour trial and such)
Now making money, I buy the bundles I use.
The companies deserve the kudos.
Money is not the only incentive for creation. I can create to be famous, to feel my soul, to share free, to lose my time, to explore new horizons, ...
can't believe there are so many comments talking about stealing from developers because other people don't pay for their music. That doesn't make theft ok or righteous. I live on a meager 750 bucks a month disability pension and can pay for my plugins. You don't need the best of the best plugins to do music. Limitations breed creativity.
moral of the story: don't be poor
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview yeah that's what i meant
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview oh cool 😎 thx for the info
This is a very experienced way to look at this. Wow. Good shit dude.
I started out with FL Studio & used the stock reverbs on everything. Then I saw these lovely, shiny plugs with cosmic GUI's & even more cosmic sounding names & had to have them. After accruing bundles of them I still find myself going back to stock reverbs for that perfect guitar plate or room verbs for the drums. Stock plugins are fine & if you learn how to use them properly you can achieve the same results as boutique software. Ok some things are only obtainable with pricier third party stuff. But not a lot. And certainly not everything.
I Totaly agree with that, stock plug-ins are designed for your daw, so, for music. The makers don't aim to sabotage them with crappy plu-ins!
The key is to make it accessable to everyone the legal way...it doesnt really help to put out a plugin for 800+ dollars or euros and literally 5% of the guys who want it or need it can afford it right away...doesnt make sense for anyone....
The price can be high...thats not the issue...but make it accessable to everyone who wants to pay for it...like monthly pay and so on....lennar digital makes it right...even tho 130 bucks isnt really that much money...
serum does rent to buy, 10 pounds/month no interest. Excellent model that others should be copying
@@vstcrack4652 thanks
The argument that without supporting creators by giving them money for their creations they will not create anymore is simply not true. People created and shared before money even exist.
@Deplorable Dave this triggers me because you are kind of stating its okay for musicians to get shafted by the listeners through the use of the cheapest music service? Just cause the sales model works, doesn't mean it enriches or grows the INDUSTRY?
We cant be satisfied with the fact that the creators of our pet pleasures are getting shafted while the platform booms. Its incoherent and gross.
Things have NEVER been perfect and probably never will be.. but we influence every little thing by engaging with it, or leaving it alone.
Name checks out 😅😂
exactly. i like to buy my softs and stuffs, it means a different relation with it, you want to use it fully, it your baby
Disclosure produced allmost all of their Caracal Album using Stock Plugins only! So please pay for your Vsts if you want them. There is no such excuse as „I need this to make a hit“
Most stock plug-ins these days are good enough
@@Streaky_com why don't you use it yourself then bro
I really agree with your mindset man, absolutely true, but the thing is: Plugins are expensive, do they have to be that expensive? I mean 4000 euro's for the FULl Version of nexus... okay the sounds are really really good, but that expensive is kind of insane don't you think. Maybe nexus isn't the best example because their expansions are very good and contain a lot of presets but I hope you'll get the point. And what about try before you buy? Or does that still kill the mentallity that you talked about with the unlimited acces to everything and not using anything at all? Because it's true that if you buy something you're more engaged to discover and learn about that thing, such as a DAW or a Plugin. Can someone tell me a bit more about that?
I got away from that around 2000....ever since every piece of software i own i paid for. On the beginning i used to buy all the DAW's, i literally have all the major ones paid for, ProTools, Logic X, Cubase, Reason, Studio One. Now i stick only with Studio One. I bought tons of virtual synths because i was used to have all of them for free. Now i only use Native Instruments Komplete Ultimate 11 and all the Output.com instruments and expansions, rest of the sounds i use are my hardware synths. For the plugins i used to have all the Waves cracked, pretty much everything was out there. Nowadays i use only UAD , I bought almost all of them and couple of nice ones from Softube and Waves that i paid for and i love. And yes, you right...when i used to have all of them....hundreds...i didn't know what or how to use it...now that i paid for it, i researched it before i bought it and i really have use of what i bought. Plus on top of everything is that "PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP ". Most of my friends went the same route. I can say one thing that i observed....people that love music and do music with passion will always pay for it, because they know the value of it. All the rest come and go and they will never do something in the music scene.
Well said my friend..good story..
I totally agree. I did the same thing up until roughly the same time as you. Everyone I know that has made any kind of success in music has only bought software.
Gay
I don't need a Steve Jobs lookin' ass old dude to remember me to buy plugins when I didn't even succeed yet with my music LMFAO.
I don't think he remembers you.
Ok, but can u make a tutorial on how to crack nexus 3
Truth speaking 👍🏻,
I did download lots of crack plugin 5 years ago. Never have time to use and learn them until it become outdated.
For the last 2 years, I bought some plugins when it On Sale, and I learn a lot, spend time with it, love the plugins and appreciate it very much because I paid for it.
Support the artist and company who created the plug-in.
can we agree on "start with cracked software, get used to the plugins u like and buy them as soon as you make some profit" ? :D
When I first read the title I read it as “The truth about crap plugins” 😂

Stop trying to justify the developer getting shafted. Please

Sadly, I've read in many forums, spanning many disciplines (not just music), with countless posts of people saying; "I don't give a f#*k, I want x product at the cheapest price". Investors are keenly aware of this. Enforcement of ip can be a nightmare. I say this from experience. This is where we stand as a society.
I came to acquire knowledge, brother, Not to be shouted
True.. but truth has a trigger effect. I get him. I too am triggered about alot of shit that just aint right. Complain quietly if you can.
yeah dude, this Steve Jobs looking dude just likes to be yelling at small artists that don't have money to pay thousands of dollars for a good set of plugins
@@Indicxficial You said it, your a small artist. That means you copy others material, tools and styles and think that music is a "genre". You cant hurt no-one! pirate forth o little one.
Should you be aiming to become a "great artist", get interested in integrity and intrinsic value. Learn appreciation and understanding for the human condition and never undervalue anything that makes one truly great.. like contributing something new or useful to your sphere of influence. Oh and don't behave or act like a "small artist".
Found your channel after finding your mastering video with Ozone 9 which was excellent and now I’m hooked on this channel, this video is absolutely spot on, couldn’t agree more, thank you
First, I agree with the statements in the video and thank you for posting.
Solutions. For those that are too young to work I can understand the frustration of being without. When I was younger I wanted to play drums and it was years before I had my own drum kit. So I played in school groups and in church so I could have access to drums.
If you are in college or of college age use financial aid and loans. In the US you could easily attend your first two years of college at community college and use a combination of loans and financial aid to get gear.
If you are working adult, finance gear when major sales occur like Black Friday and Christmas. Sweetwater, guitar center, and others have gear with financing offers for 24-48 months to pay off the gear. Something I wish existed when I was younger. Paying a low monthly towards owning gear is a great entryway to building up your production.
Every music making guy is not from US ..
@@ishanbora510 I understand but I can only speak from my experiences. If you have info to share for your area please do.
@@arcadepiano I would not get in The habit of using cracked software. I’ve seen that stuff crash on people at the worst time or someone loose access to software once a friend who shared a code gets mad at them. Also there is a lot of free, cheap, and subscription based software available now. I would exhaust those options and just save for software and hardware. If you love it, invest in it. I worked 3 jobs at one point just to get stuff. I’m married with a kid.
The question is, to keep the circle going, are these companies willing to support us when we don't profit from it? It's kinda hard to pay for them when there's no music industry in your country. Hard to pay for them when you do things for love.
The best thing I feel is the knowledge you gain when you don't have instant access. For example if I'm trying to get the sound of a plugin I will experiment a lot to get it's sound, as close as possible with what I have already. I guess paying attention to all the little details, makes you a better engineer as well.
There is a benefit to both worlds. I learned a lot when I didn't have a bunch of plugins, and I learned a lot when I did. Definitely I would suggest starting out with stock plugins though.
The problem is that the most people crack their plugins because they have no money to spend on
Can you make a tutorial on how to crack omnisphere 2 ?? PLSSSSS
So many bands, engineers, etc., I’ve worked with have lost money because of music piracy and now make hardly anything from streaming services. If we steal the software, how can we expect people to pay for the music?
Streaky your absolutely right. I think back to those day's when us musicians spent thousands on music equipment and software. Yes buying the original product gave that self achievement and yes you wanted to learn that thing inside out due to spending hard earned cash from the daily job. The internet as much as we love it, it just made things to accessible for people to gain things,, .
Fantastic videos Streaky 🎶🎶🎧😉
You are so right. It makes me furious when people are stealing plugins and software. If people take for free and never pay, how am I supposed to charge anything and be able to buy food?
If it is always free how will anything be improved?

I started with just cracked plugins because of money constraints as a student, but my god this resonates with me now. Since I chucked out all of my cracks a couple of years ago and went 100 per cent legit, my knowledge of equipment, mixes and everything in general got 10 times better. Thanks for sharing as always Streaky!
So since you bought the shit, now your knowledge automatically boosted? Lmao, no.
I think you missed my point.
When I gave something I got for free or essentially 0 value I didn't give it the time and value it deserved apart from practically using it.
However, when purchasing I felt more inclined to read the manual and research before purchasing.
Just an observation I felt was worth sharing!
@@conniemarie8702 he low key tries to make you feel guilty XDDDDDDDD
Damn brotha, you are a real one!!! I'm going to try and stay sober away from crack now!!! :D
Wise words, lovin this channel. Great positive energy mate!
You'd think spending hundreds on the program itself that it should come with plugins.
Facts it worth shit without the plugins..i paid $300 for fl studio20. I saw what it was all about. Now all my VSTs and pluggins ares Cracked ..i rather pay a young genius than a corporation.
@Logic Pro For Life I wish I could could use logic x pro but don't have a MacBook
When I started I used cracked plugins to try for more than 30 days to make sure it was what i needed. Then I went and bought the original. Over the last 25 plus years, i have learned that you really don't need so many plugins - just the ones you know and actually use.
Totally agree with your point! Usually the people who have thousands of cracked stuff don't produce any quality work...they just fool around with stuff they don't master.
On another tip, maybe you can adjust your camera's frame rate so your led lights don't appear flashing on the videos...frequency mismatch between lights and video can be a pain :)
Thanks a lot for your videos and sharing your thoughts on pro audio.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers
yeah, those people are called hobbyists ;)
and it's shutter speed not frame rate.
You are absolutely correct! Thanks for the remark!
Thanks will sort for next vid
i think all companies should jump on the rent to own package idea for reasonable amounts. it does lower the likeability to be cracked. i started buying plugins because this started being a thing. i like splices pay 20 months this amount and you own it idea. it makes it flexible for people on a tight budget.
I absolutely agree with everything you say. Spot on!
Thanks for that, bro. Bringing in the LAW OF ATTRACTION into the mix was the punchline for me. Pure truth.

If you want to go far in your career, pay for it! and if you can't afford it and you really want it, you'll find a way. That builds character, drive and passion.
I have bought plenty of plugins from Plugin Boutique, but I see nothing wrong with accessing Crack plugins that generally cost $300 to $500 - most struggling home studio producers can't afford these high-end plugins, hell the company creates and produces the plugin it makes it available by download in most cases, and makes millions of dollars just sitting back collecting $$ through an automated selling system. So, me personally I love the fact that guys have created crack vst's and I will donate to them, my way of giving back. . . the hell what you talking about!
You have absolutely right! That's the philosophy is exchanging energy, however the cost of good plugins bundle is incredible high.
Agreed 100%. But i dont have 500$ Just for a few peaces of software. Shit is way too expensive
To any of the people making excuses about paying so much for said sounds, I have something for you guys to understand. As much as I wouldn't want to pay hundreds of dollars for metal guitar VSTs or whatever VSTs with sounds I can replicate easily with free stuff (Yeah, there's a multi-sampled free guitar library with many articulations without sounding much different than RealEight), here's the thing. If you're clever or talented enough, you don't need to pay for VSTs like Omnisphere or other VSTs that cost over $100. Logic Pro and FL Studio have satisfying VSTs that are not difficult to understand (maybe except Alchemy, Ogun and Harmor), and Vital is a free VST that works on Windows and Mac. There's no trial, and you don't really need to pay for the additional plans at all.
In short, just start with things that are free or at least come with your DAW and start using them before you go out of your way to pay for stuff.
Ironically I bought Waves Diamond package legitimate copy and couldn't get it working - even after Troubleshooting for hours and with intervention from the Waves tech team. So I gave up and put it down to a bad experience, shoddy designed product / license system and terrible customer service with a vow to steer clear from any Waves products in the future. Few months later, my friend came over and tried installing a crack copy which worked first time. I did take some pleasure informing Waves about this after my terrible experience I must say... not sure of the moral of the story in this case!!
Matt Bayley can you please help get new sounds! I just started producing and don’t have many other than basic sytrus. Np if not, ty!
What genre
Moral of the story.. bad luck does exist. and you earned that pirated version just fine. KEEP SUPPORTING ARTISTS and DEVELOPERS!
Plugins are cheap. Right now brainworx is having a sale for $29 plugins, slate digital is the same price as a Netflix subscription, and waves has entire bundles for $100-$200. Not to mention they also have frequent sales for $29. You can also buy used plugins for dirt cheap. Anyone who pays full price for a plugin is a sucker.
There is literally no excuse. And I personally have a problem with people who steal, and I wish they would just leave because they don’t deserve anything. I’m glad ilok exists. Regardless of how cumbersome it may be, it stops all these chumps and little kids from killing an already-dead industry.
He's shouting at me for the crime i didn't commit yet.
Man i was just going to crack something now I'm not. (Saving money 💰)
I don't generally disagree with most of these points, and I do tend to buy software that is reasonably priced, but I personally think that charging hundreds of pounds for software is unnecessary and actually counterproductive. I'll happily pay £50 quid, potentially £100 if it's something really expansive / high quality. But if we're talking £200 / £300+ for an EQ or something then hell no. I'll wait for a flash sale, or obtain by... other means...
To use an anecdote from another industry: I've read stories about indie developers who've lowered the price of their games after struggling to make ends meet. They then reported sales booming and making enough to fund several future projects.
Can you do a video on space and depth
treztracks ok
If I have fl studio cracked, is there a problem with using my vst that I have bought?

ITS SAD BUT TRUE. WHERE YOU INVEST YOUR MONEY. YOU INVEST YOUR LIFE/TIME
Streaky is brilliant. Not sure how much it would cost to get a track mastered by him, but I’d trust his ears and skills all day
facts
Idk this dude has a great point, and a lot of people are choosing to ignore it; Splice has the incredible feature to rent-to-own plugins like Serum, Omni and a range of other VSTs, including a free VST selection.
$9.99 a month for Serum, 18 months, I own it. I'm now running into renting out two other plugins since I do not have the money to outright buy those plugins now. I mean ffs there are other companies that do financing with zero interest.
I am not safe from criticism either; come to think of it, I have the FabFilter plugins cracked, but only use like.. 1/3 of them, but I use just about every VST I've bought regardless.
"We'll pay when we make money/ money off of music"
lmao stfu no you wont, I guarantee I'd forget to pay for Nexus because I just don't care about it or use it, but I have it.
And don't mention that these finance options aren't available for some products, that should go without saying.
Never have I been so offended by something I totally agree with
Prime comment!
I couldn't agree more with this Streaky - when I hear people saying "oh the problem is we don't have the money to buy the real plug ins" my response is " No, the problem is that you're not truly committed to what you are doing." There's a saying about "putting your money where your mouth is". You should have tried making electronic music in the early 80s - the TR909 was £999 when it was released - do I need to continue? No I didn't think so...
can't stop free. its wrong, but it can't be stopped. Besides, digital has kind of ruined "value" for a lot of things. Many people feel a digital file has no "value" and simply don't care how they get it. Look at UA-cam itself. I know DJs who do sets all over the world based off youtube channels that post entire catalogs of music at 1080p quality which sound fine in the clubs because lets face it, what do 10 year olds to 30 year olds know or care about sound quality lol. Movies and tv shows come to digital so fast I'm surprised folks still go to the theaters in the numbers they do.
Even actual musicianship has changed today. Folks just want the hot presets as fast as they can get them. Why bother programming your own patches when Drake charts with what would have been unfinished demos 20 years ago. Now EVERYONE has a copy of Omnisphere, even little 12 year old timmy banging out beats on his instructional "how to make beats the right way" youtube channel. 😂 When the art has lowered standards like it does today its no wonder there is little care in the approach to creating such art. Just grab a sample pack, a cracked DAW and some cracked VSTs and get those youtube clicks. Just make sure when you are interviewed your screen doesn't have the crack group shown on the plug in like you see in a lot of vids lol.
You can't stop "progress" and you can't stop free.
Big facts
Bro you can't crack wave plugins
"You wouldn't download a car, would you?"
I’d definitely download a handbag though.
But I wouldn’t shoot a policeman and then steal his helmet. I wouldn’t go to the toilet in his helmet and then send it to the policeman’s grieving widow and then steal it again.
Well put!
I always looked at it from a technical angle... Where the develpors design gear in a certain way and even the maintenance is done by the company/manufacturer's protocols. So when cracking the plug or effect your actually breaking the "warranty" or liability that the company ensured the customer. Which eventually leads to distrust in the engineers work flow. Am not entirely sure if my theory has some credibility.... But Streaky's mind state approach sums it up from a technical point of view , as well as an ethical one.
Love it
I love crack
The rent-to-own plan of some companies like Lennar Digital (which after a number of instalments, the plugin is yours forever) is a good way to fight VST piracy, imo.
Imagine you owned a plugin company and everybody was cracking your software.
I wouldn't be a moron and price it at 600$ 🤷🏾♂️
@@Butters_Stotch_187 Could you please explain how to price a software? How would you set the price? Which parameters would you take into consideration?
Keroser1983 I wouldn't be a cunt and price it at 600$ I'd make somewhere around 40-60$
Me and many others have not bought omnisphere cause of its ridiculous price. Now imagine if it was 60$ not only would more people buy it they would make even more money.
@@Butters_Stotch_187 No you are right. But I am asking how would you set the price? For example the guy who wrote the code asked for 250 USD, now how can you sell it for 60? Do you know what I am saying?
Keroser1983 the guy who wrote the code can gag on my nuts. Buddies getting 100$ one time payment or he can stfu
People in my country won't have the extra money for plugin, also for software, game, music, movies or just any sort of digital entertainment. The cracked ones are very easy to access because people in my country always sharing them all over the community. The creative and innovation job left for you guys that won't worry about next meal. You may say people won't spend time with free stuff or won't have a mindset of a giver if just take all the time, but have you ever thought "The cracked ones are the only accessible ones for a lot of people in some other countries". (Cracked ones are not for the whole music production industry, but they deserve to exist for those people just want have some fun with music.)
I totally agree with you, I remember when I bought my first plugin, and it felt great. Good video.
@@arcadepiano how does that relate to plugins at all
crack is try before you buy, if you use it as a pro and make money from it you end up buying (or i do). Software makers would actually lose money if cracks didnt exist because people would not get to incorporate plugins to the point they become indeispensible and then have to buy them
Truth again
Gimme gimme gimme... I remember a tiny bit embarrassing moment when a young and very rich music producer accidentally showed a piracy copy of a well known soft synth...
But yes, I agree with you, buy just a few plugs and use them a lot. It's so easy today to get really high quality plugs for very little money. There's many chances of getting discounts (Black friday etc etc) or simply head over to Waves where you'll find all of their plugins to heavily reduced prices every day at the year.
@@arcadepiano Well, that's a philosphical question way to complex to have a discussion about here.
The fact that there is this much dislikes proves his point, many people wanna just take take and not give. If you don’t or can’t buy plugins at any moment in time there also loads of quality plugins available for free that will get you where you wanna go most of the times. And also remember that these companies wouldn’t be able to give out free plugins and resources and do giveaways if most of their users crack their plugins.
I'm not quite sure who this guy is talking about. Ive cracked like two plugins and I'm fine.
The "truth" about cracked plugins is:
Things are valued WAY higher than their actual worth, and yes anything related to making music or art in technically a luxury and not actually a necessity. Yes, anyone that develops a product deserves to get some kind of compensation for that product, that's a no-brainer. The amount of value that these plugins go for is absolutely insane. It's the 'premium' that they know they can put onto a piece of software because who the software is intended for. Tell me why video games, more than likely having a much larger team, higher production costs and much much more of a marketing overhead to cover, go for a 5th even a 10th the price of another piece of software. Not to mention that music software is getting scarily close to the monthly subscription model and ditching proprietary licenses. For the price of some plugins you can get so many physical pieces of gear that possibly just as much thought, work, craftsmanship and engineering was put into. These audio software companies are no different than any other tech company out there today.
