Software is great, when it works . . . but very problematic
Software is great . . . when it works, but very problematic.
I had been using the LE version WaveRazor, a type of synth DAW, very nice. HOWEVER, I made the apparent fatal mistake of trying to install the demo version WaveRazor pro, which not only didn't work, but disabled the LE version already installed.
I tried installing LE on another computer, SAME RESULT. I tried deinstalling and reinstalling, multiple times, with previous and current versions of LE.
Apparently there's some sort of hidden security key embedded in their download process (have to install their download interface before downloading any apps).
The support people, though friendly, were either incapable of recognizing this, or were trying to hide this problem (I have no doubt others have encountered the same thing).
On their website, it explains (buried in an obscure text area) that installing a demo version will prevent future downloads of the same demo, etc.
Apparently, there is an obvious bug in this current security / download and install setup, BUT THEY ARE INCAPABLE OR UNWILLING TO FIX THIS.
Very sad, in that the WaveRazor software itself, when working, is very cool, but until they can get it together with this weird installation process, I wouldn't recommend messing around with it.
PS
I did try installing on a laptop, with different IP / router address . . . and yes, it works there, but I can't use either of my desktops that I use daily for my music production.
