Any news on 6.02?

[MIDI Life Crisis]

I,m really sorry..I did not think either my nor tripit's statements were that traitorous.

Bit of an overstatement or overreaction don't you think? We only have your words to go by, but "traitorous" is sort of strong, don't you think? Language can be somewhat more nuanced than that.

There wouldn't be any silliness going on if MOTU just made an effort to communicate more with their users, duh.

Yeah... I know. Duh. Thanks for your useful post. Yeah... more effort. Yeah... How 'bout you call their main business line and gripe at them there instead of wasting space on this board please? I mean 'cmon already.

I already have. And I'm sorry you thought I was wasting your space with such an "offensive comment"....seriously, you're jumping on my back for that comment??? I'm a bit surprised really, but I will respect your wishes and refrain from griping about MOTU on this board.

Exactly...that was my point. I thought the reaction to my post was over the top.

You're referring to the "other thread? Your post was nuanced??? Except for setting in quasi-poetic language, it was a bitch session.

BTW, take a minute to figure out how to actually use the board and the quotes. That is, unless you want your words to be misconstrued. The way you are following up messages now is very misleading and it appears you are repeating what others have said, but not quoting them. Seriously, it's easier than using your DP manual.

This is true, Tripster (you don't mind if I call you that, do you? LOL), but the other way of looking at it is that if the users recognised MOTU's motus operandi(!), they'd realise that there's no point kicking up a fuss. We've all accepted Apple's method, so why should MOTU be chastised for its choice?

At least the company's bloody good at sticking to the plan, something that can only be a good thing IMHO. Yeah, it's a lottery, but MOTU's always been a fine bet.

I really didn't think my comment was that inflammatory - it was quite pc really. I know others may disagree with me, but I believe that sometimes manufactures respond to their users wants and needs only when they are pushed. They don't want or don't feel the need to have to do something different. Some companies are really in touch with their user base, others not so much, and then others not at all. I think MOTU is somewhere in the middle. Waves finally changed their WUP only because their user base really put up such a protest for a long time. I try not to be too inflammatory in general. And since James seems to feel that I am in regards to MOTU, I shall respect his wishes and refrain from doing so on his board.

And you call me anything you want.....just don't call me stupid

. It's a little like smoking in the non-smoking section.

Yeah.....that's what we need..a smoking section. Havin' a smoke always calms me down...

THIS is what I'm talking about markmcb. Dan thinks YOU said that. You didn't. I don't give a fu(k about 'getting credit' so don't get me wrong. But had I said something you didn't want others to think you had said...

Oh never mind. Just keep on whatever it is you're doing. I just won't see it any more. <sigh> Also thru with this thread. It's been torn the shreds anyway.

BTW, is there any news on DP 6.02? Oh yeah, we covered that on page one...

Sorry about that MIDI. I actually knew you had said it in the previous post and I had meant to quote from that one. I just forgot when I went back to find it.

I'm in the smokin' room right know. All chilled and relaxed and thinkin' about the glorius day that will be when 6.02 is released. AFWIW--6.01 has been real stable for the past week with me. Granted, I'm only tracking audio and mixing, but I'm not gettin any crashes. I even used the Proton VI on some tracks and it worked like a charm.....

No that's great. You made the point much better than I could.

still no solid news about 6.02...... 11 pages later, lol

[adeptusmajor]

wow, this thread is intense.

...

can't say i've ever heard of a company announcing when a software update is going to be released.

usually they just let people know when it happens, or let you figure it out for yourself, in my experience at least.

i'm sure they're working on it, diligently.


an update (or some news) would be nice, but i'm sure anyone using DP for business or pleasure should be intelligent and/or motivated enough to figure out some kind of work-around for their problems.

not implying that anyone here is not, but that's kinda the definition of "engineering", isn't it?




never mind, i should probably stay out of this

[Alan Craig]

Well, I say again, my version of 6.02 is working fine.

I can't imagine what all the fuss is about – I wanna know what's gonna be in 6.03!

<whistles> <eyes roll>

Great I'm sure he's right.... whatever. Tell you what. How about the people that would like to have a forum where complaining and and whining over and over about the same things start one up for themselves. I suggest you reserve the domain soon. How about BITCHABOUTMOTU.COM? You can start it up and then go over there and have a little party over there and quit dragging down this board. In fact, I may set one up for you and then you can go there. Or perhaps I'll create the "Bitching & Moaning" forum so I can segregate these "special contributions" to this board to a place worthy of them.

I think this was really uncalled for. Someone says they think MOTU should be more in touch with their customers..I agree...and then this?

I don't work for MOTU. This board isn't run by MOTU, so I can pretty much say what I think and I told you. There is plenty of criticism of MOTU here... thousands and thousands of words worth. Why I object to is when it gets nasty and there's no point to it other than for some people to vent our get out their aggressions.

I know others may disagree with me, but I believe that sometimes manufactures respond to their users wants and needs only when they are pushed. They don't want or don't feel the need to have to do something different.

Granted. I think the problem I have with some people who post here is that there's a difference between pushing and standing around kicking the bleeding carcass. MOTU reads this board and they get the point. Furthemore, I had a certain vision when I started this board and purpose I hoped it would fulfill-- and it wasn't soley to be a blunt instrument with which to bludgeon MOTU. Some folks come here (this is not directed at any specific people) and you can see they have a very low post count, they have never tried to contribute or help others, and they sign up simply so they can USE this board as a means to beat on MOTU as part of their own myopic agenda. Most of the time if they have a valid criticism and they can express themselves in a civil nature, I have no problem with it. As I said, just read the board and there's plenty of criticism.
