It's really unfortunate because Audiotool would be an alright program if it had recording ability. Just separate recordings from sample uploads lol not hard. Recording is a basic ability of any DAW and disabling it forces artists to consider other avenues of music production. Add that it's been offline for almost a year now. Instrumental ciiiityyy.
exactly. Recording is different than sample upload in that you wouldn't have to worry about copyright issues.... come on devs focus on the basics here.
@andremichelle right now all my songs on AT are under the creative commons license... what will the difference be between AT and other sites such as soundcloud that can't monitor song originality. I'm thinking you are fighting an uphill battle that is near impossible to win. Also who would record someone else's song through a mic and lose its quality? (we are talking 356kbs quality down to under 100kbs.) I have never heard someone claim a lower quality sound as their own because people need the original sound for it to even sound decent on a set of headphones. And finally there will always be people who rip-off other people's work. :-D I wish the music industry wasn't the way it is... but I think its near impossible to prevent someone from uploading someone else's work. Good Luck!
KrestWood I think that you're not aware of the fact that, as far as I know, AT has been very close to be in serious legal trouble due to copyrighted material being published on its website. Therefore, actions like disabling sample upload or direct recording while a safer approach is designed and implemented are not a matter of trying to build an utopia, but of merely not having the website closed and avoiding legal consequences. Also, your comment seems to imply you believing that because the music world/industry isn't perfect and there will always be those who steal, then nobody should bother doing anything about it. You will agree that nothing would ever improve at all if everyone thought like that.
@andremichelle @jordynth you guys are both great! This DAW has come so far and I hope you know I am not trying to criticize the work you have done. simply bringing up questions I have had for a long time.
KrestWood "so in the future I will have full ownership of my music? ... Right now I don't" How is that so? Maybe I don't understand what you mean exactly but you always have full ownership of your music. You decide what kind of license you release your music under and what others can or cannot do with it. Nobody stops you from using an "all rights reserved" license if you want to retain all the rights and, even if you release it under creative commons (there are several types, more or less restrictive), you can still use your own music any way you want.
Wow I feel a little stupid. last time I checked there wasn't an "all rights reserved" option for the license. I apologize and I feel like an old man now haha

I wish we could upload our own samples again. The sample upload has been down for a long time now.

Krest. I think your account might be removed for that comment.
I'm not in support of stealing other's work. I'm just sharing some insight is all :-D
believe me I wish we could live in a world that payed musicians the respect they deserve but we don't....

Also, SoundCloud does in fact actively monitor copyright infringement in uploaded material: https://help.soundcloud.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003454767-My-track-was-taken-down-for-copyright-infringement
so in the future I will have full ownership of my music? that would be fantastic. Right now I don't... https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
Krest, you're being stubborn at this point.
If it's that big of a deal to you. Go somewhere else.
@dj_bassmaster I'm talking to the devs not you bud.
