Here is an update and my response to Andre's allegations:
-
Like, I am not a journalist that has to write an detailed analysis of all sides. I'm just a witness and i write what i saw with my own eyes. If the reaction is "your story favours Andreas so i don't believe you" then there's not much more I can do here. But once again, I'm open to talk with no dramas and not revealing your identity.
-
@thequeenisdead i am simply stating what happened. It happened and it was negative. When I felt like people were being misled by some things André said, i voiced it. That is all, if you want to fact check anything, feel free to reach out on Discord.

@Kepz I'm sorry if I came across as biased by calling your stance "jumping on Andreas's bandwagon." I appreciate your openness in this conversation. However, it's clear to me that you hold Andreas in high regard and frequently try to sway people to his side in any discussion. We all could see your clash with André here and on Discord - nobody won this. You present yourself as a communicator with the best interests of everyone in mind, using expressions like "openly asked him," but then immediately turn around and paint a very negative picture of André.
While I recognize it's challenging to convey tone and intention over text and misunderstandings can happen, I find it hard to fully believe your perspective when it consistently seems so one-sided. Let's both strive to stay open-minded and acknowledge the complexity of the situation. I hope we can move forward constructively, keeping in mind that there are always multiple sides to every story.

Let me just go ahead nd say. I actually didn’t know this shit was happening, cause this is hurtful for me now.
But in return I don’t take sides, I’m on the fence with pretty much anything that has anything to do with two sides, but I can say this is all selfish bullshit. Selfishness and music don’t get along.
-
Mane, I'm not taking sides, but I feel like we should just chill out on Andreas. Yes, although he messed up (big time) but he needs to at least respond. We're just blasting him with these harsh comments about him. I agree with every single one of you guys. But as a person who got inspired by audiotool, we shouldn't be harming the future of audiotool just because of this. Yes, I believe Andre should get his shares (obviously)

Outside of the issues of some due statements not being said yet... 3rd party plug-in support is probably something many wish for, but I see it as a bit of a pity. I think having to really put in work to create a particular sound was fun. I'm excited for new opportunities, but nothing can replace only having around 3 good synths and FX that won't hand you anything on a plate to create all the sounds with.
-
I would like to hear more statements on at least why André has been saying that he's been treated unrightfully. I appreciate AT giving insight on what the future plans are, but the topic of withholding shares still seems to be avoided. There's far too much financial maltreatment in the music industry already. I'd like to see that changed and would like to see a company not become an abuser of its employees or artists. I hope for a statement about those shares. That's all I want to know.

I've said it already and will repeat it again. So far it's 1 for Andre Michelle and 0 for Audiotool Inc. You try to silence someone (how many accounts of Andre Michelle did they already delete?) for a good reason. Truth stings right in the eyes. On top of that, they haven't made any statements so far (they need time to come up with one) which means they have been caught pants down. Unprepared? I highly doubt that Andre Michelle made all of this up out of blue.
Andre Michelle states that he deserves shares of Audiotool which he has been promised by Audiotool management but never has received any. If that is true, it would be better for Audiotool to give the man those shares.
Remember one thing - You can win a million lawsuits even with lies. You can make yourself look good on "the paper", but this bad, stinky stain will follow you (Audiotool Inc) everywhere and it will not be forgotten. In the future, you'll only make it worse for yourself. Investors finding out about this situation will become cautious. Potential employees finding out about this situation will become cautious. This "stain" will follow you everywhere like a ghost.
If Andre Michelle, deserves the shares of the Audiotool Inc, then give them to him as you have promised. Sort things out in a fair way and stop damaging your own future reputation. At the end of the day you will not fool people. People will see/feel on which side the truth is and it won't matter what will be written on your shiny lawsuit papers that you will flash around, while celebrating a victory which could be potentially built on lies and unfair decisions (which is even worse).

Every time I have disagreed with or provided feedback to André Michelle in response to his public statements, I have done so in the most respectful and objective way I could. However, every public interaction with him has been followed by direct messages to me on Instagram. These messages have been intense, accusatory, and sometimes abusive. I do not wish to tolerate this anymore out of pity and sympathy for his situation. I do not believe André Michelle is trying to facilitate a fair discussion on the future of Audiotool by attacking those who respectfully challenge his statements.
-
I want to reiterate what @kurp said. The lack of direct response right now is out of respect and privacy. Please keep that in mind and do not attack people involved.
The team is discussing ways on how to be more connected with the community. I don't think that there will be a concrete roadmap with dates at first, but things like: Q&As, invitations to beta testing, concept focus groups etc. In fact there were already plans for this for a while, stay tuned!
-
also for anyone reading these, please don't just attack/insult the people involved, like andreas. it doesn't move the situation forward at all, in fact it just hinders things... (this should be very important to put on the board post, preferably above the links)

I really hope that throughout what’s happening right now with audiotool that everything gets resolved
I jus wanna hear a diss tape come from either side tbh, esketit
