I was just giving some serious thought to actually buying a legal copy of re-birth. I thought it would be £40-60. I checked Steinberg's site, it was £134. WTF? I'm sorry, but no-one short of a professional musician is going to buy that. No wonder so many people pirate it. Don't they understand that the reason hardware has to have such a large profit margin (and hence price) is the high base cost & small number of sales? With software this shoudn't be true, surely it's better to sell 4 times as many copies at 1/3 of the price if the base cost (CD& Packaging) is so low. I know some of you will say, if you can't afford it you shouldn't use it. No, I'm only going to spend that amount of money on something tangible like a mixer. Rant over. |

I agree. The money is for research and development but £134 is too much for this old piece of software. Even freeware can do more than Rebirth, it's fun to use though |

I know, I can't believe it has gone up in price since 1.5 to be honest there's very little functionality that's been added and now it's pretty much "complete" (I can't see there being another version) and they have finished developing it they should just concentrate on selling a large number of copies. The only benefit I would gain from buying it would be being able to use mods and maybe the legal standpoint (esp. if you actually used it playing live). For £50 or so I'd think it was worth it, but when you consider how feature rich shareware floops with as TS-404 is in comparison it's laughable they try to charge so much. I expect it's just because, it's a TR-303 mannnnn!. So what? They're a bit overrated anyway and in any case RB338 doesn't emulate detuning etc. so it's not like it's an "actual" replacement for the hardware for a real techno purist, even if they had the money... |

My brother just gave me a nice semi-acoustic guitar. I need to re-string it and dig out those guitar books, but I like the twangy sounds of the old stretched strings :) Carisba: I've tried buzz and I like the modular nature of it, but I find (on my already unstable system) it crashes too frequently... |
