Subject:Sonic Foundry has been problematic

From day 1 this product has been anything short of a thorn
in my side.
I have ran into problem after problem.
I just wanted to air this, because I am very disappointed
with this product.
Something that should be easy to, comes with a stumbling
block each and every step one takes.
I brought this to the attention of Mr. Buinevicius..SF's
CEO.
I am also going to post this subject on a DJ bullettine
board. I am also a musician and will spread this out to the
many-many musicians out there.
All's I can say to each of you...DONT BUY SONIC
FOUNDERY....IT S..k's.
By the by Mr. Buinevicius,... go to Prodj.com for an eye
opener.

Hi Ralph
What type of problems are you having? and what type of computer are
you running? I've been using SF products for almost 6 years and Its
been the best.Im not an expert on software but I've dumped alot of
other stuff because Acid, Vegas, Sound Forge and alot of the plug-ins
work very well.If I can be of any help please e-mail me
take care, George Ware

I think you got it wrong, Ralph. I don't work at Sonic Foundry, so
don't think I'm a salesman or something ;-), but I've been using
their products for quite some time now, and I think there are not
many programs that can compete with SF's quality and precision.

Probably the fault isn't even with SF, but with Windows itself, as is
usually the case. I suggest you write an angry letter to Bill Gates
and wait till he replies ... ;-)

Ralph:

You don't say what your problems are?

How did you contact Rimas? (Rimas is not exactly tech support. I am
sure that he fowarded your request to our tech support dept.)

Thanks
Peter

I say - ignore this stupid guy.
This is typical flaming crap. I see it everywhere, on every forum and
chat site. Always an idiot who likes to stir up trouble.
He doesn't mention the specific product - because he doesn't have one
to mention.
He doesn't specify the problem - because there isn't one.
He drops names - the CEO in this case - as a way to scare and make
people take notice. He's never met the man, never will.
Betcha he's not a DJ or a musician either. No such friends
Just your average jerk trying to make an impression.
He's a tired joke, is all.
Back to the forums real business, everybody!

I've been using SF products professionally and for fun, for a long
time. Since Sound Forge came on floppies!
Great stuff.
Sure, little niggles, like the sync thing in Acid Pro, but nobody's
perfect.

You're dating your self with this one!

I guess the one thing that is silly is the threats. Threats don't
make us jump any higher.

I just got a kick out of Rimas being brought into all of this...

Am more than willing to help this guy - or anybody - but they have to
meet us half way.

>>Mr Damato,
Sounds to me like if a duck had your brain, he'd be flying North for
the Winter. Hey man, learn how to use a computer with this program. I
must admit I have had difficulties but it was not the fault of Sonic
Foundry's software. I have Acid 2.0 and after getting a good Sound
Card and learning the in's and out's of Acid, I have found that the
program does exactly as it should. I might add that I think this
program is "Miraculous". I wish I could have had this program back in
the "Dark Ages" when all you had was a Multitrack Tape Recorder.
My advice, stop bitchin and figger it out.
Salute,
Jon

I've been reading the messages for a couple of hours now and figured
sooner or later, there would be some half-wit with a flame to throw.
I'm an ambient musician and have used many programs for my electronic
work and dumped them ALL when I was introduced to Acid and Sound
Forge. I find them to be the most powerful YET, easiest to
manipulate. I don't know what Ralph's problem is, if any, but if he
is truly having a problem with Acid he certainly does not need to be
tinkering with computers!
