![]() because hardly anyone donates for online audio production stuff, and definitely not for a site. It's much more effective than most, because as you probably know, if you made it optional, it's likely that you wouldn't even get a single donation in a year. Denying local access to documents (which a company hasn't cared about for decades) which are freely available elsewhere, with the hope that some people would pay because they can't find the documents elsewhere (most are quite hard to find by now) is definitely one way to ask for donation. That (giving something in exchange for money) is called "selling", but you can also call it "asking for donation" if you want. ![]() ![]() Now the site generates some income towards paying for the cost of hosting and that is all, so rest assured I have not ordered my new Mercedes AMG just yet, and I certainly will not be retiring anytime soon.īut it is good to know that wonderful human beings such as yourself who visit the site are so appreciative of the enormous effort that goes into it.Īnd for the record, it is made very clear the manuals are not sold, a $5 donation is asked for in return to having access to download the manuals. ![]() The downloads however were in the thousands and THAT COST MONEY, out of my back pocket!' Prior to that an honour scheme of donate if you feel it is worth it and have downloaded something, but guess what, most are like you and donated zip. When you have all that done, get back to me.Īnd for the record, it is made very clear the manuals are not sold, a $5 donation is asked for in return to having access to download the manuals. ![]() But, clearly you are yet another member of the ME generation who wants everything for nothing regardless of any effort in time or money anyone else has put into providing a service to others.īut given how generous you are, let's see YOU build a website, spends months gathering information together to fill said website with the relevant content, spend THOUSANDS of hours recreating 90% of the product images in Photoshop from scratch so that you have decent images of the products, buy and sell many of the effects units to enable you to create audio samples to add to the site, pay for a Soundcloud Pro account to enable those samples to be added to the site and updated if and when required, and pay to host the site and maintain the site.and then give it all away for free. YES some of the manuals on the site are available elsewhere on the web, but the site is a very convenient way to find most of the manuals needed by service techs in particular, without spending hours trolling the interwebs to find them. Thanks for charging for PDF files that have already been available online for free for years (way before your post).Thanks for your ill informed and ignorant statement SHY. ![]()
