[Rwp] [RWP] OSARA, an open-source ReaAccess replacement in development

Wed Feb 4 13:57:24 EST 2015

I totally agree with Chris regarding paying for the work that Jamie is doing.  Not only does it show appreciation and respect for what he has done so far but it hopefully will encourage and enable him to continue working on the project.  I am a sonar and caketalk user but I want to use reaper because I have sighted friends whom I jam with who want to dabble a bit in recording so we can record our jams and work on our individual tracks in our own time.  I think reaper is an excellent low cost option for this purpose.  I will certainly be throwing a few dollarsJamie's way.

I hate this ghetto mentallity toard
doing something skilled and
doing a professional job.

Cheap has a lot of meanings, but it often means of low quality, or takin 
what you can get.
I run a business here,
and I expect to have to pay for the cost of doing business, diferent for 
folks just doing a hobby,
I know, but this sort of we want it all for nothing and poor blindy 
mentallity is why nothing ever gets done for reaper.

I know us blind
aren't rich folks, but most blindies I know will pay for what they want, 
they'll buy a 800 dollar iphone, but bitch about paying 10 bucks for a 
piece of software,
now just think if everyone gave 20 bucks for reaper development for 
someone like Jamie
to develop reaper, how far we'd get?

You don't think Jamie worked for nothing when I was working with him for 
sonar development back a few years ago?

Quiet a few benefited and piggy backed off that I imagine.

So if you're not willing to put a few bucks in to what you do, then you 
have no business doing it, you're not serious about it.

That's just how I feel about the whole thing,
when you pay for something, you respect it.
