Hi Guys,

This might be the Dumbest/Weirdest Query -

But if some other Professional Producer teaches me - while I "share" my screen of ableton/vsts
- can he Figure out if I have warez plugins ?

I have tons warez, including Waves full + Few genuinely bought like Soundtoyz.

NOTE - Ive spent enough time for learning Basics - produced my 1st track.
BUT ive reached a Stage where things are going slow.
Im 100% SURE I need professional teacher who can resolve my queries sooner and speed up/resolve my work process.

But, if they figure our I use Warez daw/plugins - Reaction is expected in don't know which form.

Please Suggest

Thanks

 

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

Professional producers usually know that many of their customers use cracked software, but they usually overlook it, after all, they are the customer and the customer pays for the services they are supposed to provide.

If they are asked about it, they can say that it is nobody else's business what you have on your PC privately.
Or you can simply say that when you make some real money you will buy the program again.

As Team Air once said: Because we are not millionaires.

Legally you can install whatever you want on your PC, you just cannot upload cracked software to the Internet and offer it for download. Only child pornography - i.e. images - is punishable.

 

If you have "a tons" of them installed it's pretty obvious unless you are very rich ;-)

Some VST's may show registration name in menu ("About", "Info") as well ... and some may be not registred with you real name/email ...

I agree that "nobody else's business what you have on your PC privately", but it could have a negative image of yourself ...

This is the Reply I was looking for !!! Thanks a million brozai.

I exactly thought same thing - like they will Frown upon if they found out - but if i've paid for Course - its none of their Business anyways.

I will also hide my Huge Libraries I think LOL :D

Honestly tho, I will never Accept on Recording that Its warez - I will say I work on a Friends PC - I know they know that I know they know - but still at least in recording I won't have any proof for any hassle in future.

Really appreciate your support bro. This community is Great !! <3

 

Yeah exactly, I mean who buys Waves Complete :D :D Hehe

If they ask, I will give them Stupid reply but won't accept it. Thanks bro
