In the teaser for his upcoming collaboration with Linkin Park, Steve Aoki got caught using a cracked version of Sylenth 1 (Team Arcade)
Can't believe a 12$M networth of Dj can't buy a legit version of Sylenth1. It doesn't even come up with dongles of shitty authorization process

He just happened to get caught but he definitely isn't the only one. I can name quite a few well known producers who have millions of dollars who I know for sure use/buy these.

 

hm - funny

he propably just should have contacted lennar digital - im very shure they WANT him to use the plug in - even for free

its good advertising

if people with money dont support the developers, who does? i like to slap him IN THE FACE

 

What you know about douchebags ? you can't undouchebag them

 

Dude has a perfectly awesome Access Virus there. What the hell is he using Sylenth for????

I understand if your on the go, but if your in the studio and that lovely beast is there......................Virus>Sylenth ANYDAY

I also think that its really jacked up that some of these dudes actually resort to using cracked VST's. I thought they were millionaires?

 

Pretty Sure he is

 

well I own both a virus and sylenth and they both hold their own.

but back on topic its just sad!! I spend thousands of dollars in software, I would even post a picture of my libraries I PAID for and I am a nobody.. because I thought people with good integrity get good things in life, but I live a semi decently unlucky life...

 

Dude google for soft synth and the two VSTs you'll find immediately and on every list for soft synths and every forum post are Sylenth1 and Massive. Lennar Digital dont need that kind of advertisment... It's a one man show, but his plugin is one of the most famous out there!

I think it's just fucking ignorant of these morrons to use cracked stuff. Man, they make money with music, its just fair to pay for their gear!

BTW, I remember that in a video about the swedish house mafia on Future Music Magazine's YouTube they downloaded an illegal version of a plugin

I agree, both the Virus and Sylenth have respective spots on the road or in the studio. Why use only one when you can use both, it definitely won't hurt the creative juices.


These dudes are fucking scumbags, for real, theres no clear argument to justify why someone as successful as Aoki would opt to use cracked vst's over just buying the damn things. At his level thats the least he could do because I bet he's written plenty of shite with Sylenth. Shite that he's probably made money off of! Seeing that puts a lot of things into perspective in the waaaaaaaaaaay over hyped multimillion dollar "mega" DJ biz.

On another note, I hate to say this because I'm a fan of all kinds of genre's and respect all musicians everywhere. But some of those DJ's sound exactly the same, which isn't bad, but then you add the fact that that shite is so formulated by now. Everything from the sounds they use to the structure and harmonies, all sounds the same. I'm not saying its bad, it's just crazy that in can survive and rake in that much dough. I guess you can say that for all other major genres, but you guys know what I mean. Its honestly quite amazing when you think about it. Sooner or later I'm gonna have to get my house/electro house/tech house/progressive house and dance chops up.

 

€139 vs. thounsands of views
they may not need it - but they would do it - i would - who wouldnt?

just marketing.

 

I understand people who use cracked software, those who do not have money, those who want to learn something new, but totally do not understand those who earn millions on making music and continue to rob plugins producers. This shit disgusts me.

 

Yep, true!

I have no problem to confess I used warez, too. back then I didnt had the money (well, actually dont have it now either ), and I didnt know how serious I would feel about music.

For a beginner it's okay, specially when you think about the fact that some demo versions are crap, and others dont even have demos for their software. Plus there are no demos for samples...

But as soon as you constantly use this stuff (I use Sylenth1 every fucking day!) and you make money or plan to make money with it, then you should buy it! My opinion...

I kinda respect people who boycott some companys, as long as they pay those who really put effort in their software/samples! Im pretty sure some will disagree now, but thats my opinion!

 

avicci also has a team arcade sylenth lol

just from the views from that youtube vid he could buy sylenth lol

im sure the lennar digital guys were like " what the actual fuck dude "

 

this is really funny, and he should be ashamed.

 

lol not new, that famous producer using warez

but why do he use Team Arcade and not TEAM AIR sylenth1, its more stable
