yeah I already have that installed but the notation editor is really really poor, almost at the level of Reaper. I tried to export the music via MusicXML but for some reason, MuseScore (my notation software) doesnt allow me to open it, it always says "corrupted file". Same thing happens in Reaper.

 

It's a sad fact, but the only notation editors that actually work are those in Cubase and Logic. The rest is just for decoration... and to give users big headaches!

 

I know that problem, when the theme/score is more complex, I write it in Sibelius, then export it to midi, then Bandlab enters the game...

 

But how do you sketch things in Sibelius?
I usually sketch things in the DAW with the various instruments to grab inspirations, do you switch back and forth?

 

yes, I do switch, so what? To grab inspiration I play almost everything live, using keyboard with Kontakt or synth connected, that's it

 

The rule is clear: or all warez or all legit. Staying in the middle (legit daw with warez vst and vice versa) can put you in problems with the devs (they wont bust you, but you things just will not work propperlly) and they will always blame it's because of the warez, so you wont get support because of this. It will be easier to a legit dev tell about your pirated stuff to another dev. You're probally not getting legal issues, but don't expect any kind of support if things start bugging (read about cracked nebula4 and how it can affect your legit AA purchases).

If you think you can handle an angry dev that will fuck up your whole system and projects, go ahead to your "hybrid style" production.
(That's why i really can't understand moralist fucks that uses warez and legit, as the 80% guy, that tell you should be legit because god will punish your soul. Shame)

 

I'm on drugs, so all my music is illegal content.
But I'm illegally content

 

But how would they known I'm using a non legit daw?

 

The rule is clear

makes no sense!
Where exactly should the problem occur when you're going from all warez to (all) legit step by step?
And if you ask the dev something about your legit DAW, how should a keyed plugin cause a problem?
And what will not work properly?
Most of the people I know are working exactly like this, with a combo of legit and warez (to very different amount).

Correct, but this was the users' fault. They tried to trick the dev and this didn't work very well - after he recognized it.

No worries, as long as you have it blocked, don't tell them and don't send them a crash report, they won't.

 

Thanks for the answer, so you're saying that even using non legit vsti (Kontakt, heavyocity etc) for commercial purposes should be fine?

 

You're talking about watermarking? I'm not that familiar with this topic, isn't that covered somewhere here in this thread?

 

This belongs

 

Ok so check this interview and go to minute 44:02.
Stephan Bodzin admits he started to make & sell music with cracked Arturia Minimoog

So anytime anyone asks about is it ok to use illegal stuff the answer is: nobody care.
Once I saw Undercatt's tutorial how they making music and they opened u-he Repro-1 and it was registered to Urs Heckmann...
So another famous techno producer group is using cracked VSTi and illegal stuff
Don't worry nobody cares they are making money easily with illegal stuff
Here's evidence-screenshot from Undercatt's workflow...

 

But what about the watermark?

 

The digital watermarks exist approximatelly since 2010 produced by different technologies...some audio media have them some not...
one of the watermark manufacturers is https://audiowatermarking.com/customers
(the page with their customers, and among them is embertone.com whose violin you maybe using)

 

I'm like Dj Khaled because I HAVE ANOTHER ONE:
And the biggest bummer I always forget this.
I'm sorry for trolling dead people BUT
look at this AVICII "tutorial video" on how to make tens of thousands of euros per week creating music with illegal VSTi-s.
Bro he opens SYLENTH1 and you can clearly see it is:
Licensed to: TEAM VTX 2011

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And watch him how nervous he is during the whole youtube video because he knows everything he is using is cracked and it was for free TruePianos, Nexus v2...and so on once he was asked what is that VST you are using?
He answers (nervously as hell): "Aaaah yeah this is a demo version of Sylenth1"
Ok I always hated AVICII alright let him wear his fake AliExpress $360 Rolex and let him rest in Cracked peace.
Braugh he was a top EDM producer for a decade easily and all of his work was made by (free) cracked plugins.
End of story...that nobody cares if AVICII couldn't get caught nobody will be caught for making music with cracked stuff.

 

That's a good one.

What about Umek choosing samples on the FaderPro only the packs by -DECIBEL

 

Where? Can't find it.. Was partying hard with Umek back then doing really stupid things. We're not living like its the 90s tho lol

 

If watermarking really exists, then my songs are bunch of processed illegal tags, almost like graffiti. Basquiat would be proud of me

 

It is preposterous to believe that any dev is going to come knocking on your door and demand to see your sn's. We are talking about millions upon millions of people in their bedrooms producing music - there is simply no way that any company is going to have the resources to verify every producer's legit product. All of this talk is just fear mongering with no basis in reality. Sorry.
