I’ve been a beta tester for many companies for many decades. Yes, beta testers are always sworn to secrecy. I took Mike’s slam on their integrity seriously and asked for examples. I’ve heard none cited in response. Then I was quoted out of context and in a faulty way by Musocity to make it appear I was the one who made the slam. I could not let that pass unchallenged, either. Sooner or later one's true colors will be revealed; and colors are being revealed. Matt has always shown integrity and honesty . . . continue to speak the truth Matt, it matters.

Musocity, I think the following line is the line of concern. It was written by Mike, but in your quoted texts had apparently been attributed to Matt. Gordon, yes, that's absolutely accurate. Musocity's post definitely misquoted Matt as being the author of the text when that was not the case at all.

.. I’ve heard none cited in response. Then I was quoted out of context and in a faulty way by Musocity to make it appear I was the one who made the slam. I could not let that pass unchallenged, either. You think I did that deliberately ? there were so many open quote tags and close quote tags then I tried editing to fix them but then some were missing so I just abbreviated it Originally Posted by Matt Finley ....Usually, the beta testers find ways of leaking the goodies... Mike talking Really? I haven’t noticed that. “Usually”? Do you have examples you can cite? Matt talking The original post is there for all to see, how could it be anymore clearer. Use a bit of common sense.

Your post's editing did harm, but I did not think you did it deliberately. By asking me to use common sense, instead of apologizing for your error, now I'm starting to question that as well.

...I hate Biab...
Really? I like it. yes it's makes logical sense, it's the same person for sure even though you can see plainly that it was another user's quote. I can understand the confusion if Mike deleted his post then you deleted your quote of Mike's post after I posted it then you could come back at me with confusion and attack.

FFS, the right thing to do at this point is to say "Sorry Matt" and then edit or delete the post.

I would happily accept an apology and drop it.

This is the actual quote if I quoted it all it: I can't help but look forward to the improvements in 2024, including support for VST3, improved compatibility between real audio and MIDI, and the introduction of AI technology. Have you been given some "insider tips" that none of us know about ?  Usually, the beta testers find ways of leaking the goodies... Really? I haven’t noticed that. “Usually”? Do you have examples you can cite? a quote of a quote of a quote of a quote If users can't see what it's about there is not much I can do to help them and I can't see how they would survive in the real world. It's just total stupidity, if your life depended on seeing the truth of it what hope would there be ? It's fricken abbreviated rather than a massive long quote of quote of quote of quote, and that cause confusion ???? Zero tolerance these days for stupidity, zero. I see Peter all the time use > Blah Blah without it as a quote tag !!!!!!!!!!!!!

A person's integrity was being challenged by the improper quoting. From my observation, it would have been much better to simply correct the error. Instead, the situation has only worsened. If you didn't deliberately misquote, the obvious thing would be to correct the error and clarify the events. Instead you insisted that others use common sense. Perhaps that comment should be reflected on by yourself?

I ended up dead on a life support machine from people's stupidity and getting wrong ideas. As I said Zero tolerance. >including near instant playback direct from disk"
>So it's just using Reaper tracks with the BBW4 track data to give instant playback ?
- you can get instant playback inside the style picker to audition hundreds of styles if you want. And this is playback within 3 seconds.

First off, I said "usually" and that didn't happen this time. Good—it's not supposed to. I am one of those who gets offended when it happens.
I am amused that one of the frequent flyers is commenting in this thread. It didn't happen this time AFIK so I am not going bust your past transgressions.
