it is my opinion that musicdsp.org should find another host. . . . A commercial concern should not be permitted to control what was intended as a public list when it has been in the position of showing bias, whether its bias is right or not. That is my opinion. facts: the website musicdsp.org archi...

This is starting to feel like we invited the neighbours over for tea and they start up some family drama in front of us right in the middle of our living room and we can't escape. :x Just sayin'... very good point. my apologies for my part in that. its awkward seeing someone make grand accusations ...

While I believe free software is good, other people like me need to pay bills. I was repeatedly harassed to release software for an old version of Reaktor which would only benefit those who had cracked it, and be to the detriment of Native Instruments. Whatever your opinion may be of that, even sof...

Just thought I'd address this, from the first post, for some additional perspective. In the last month, I mounted a new website with much deeper cyber protection, and feeling safe, I posted about it on KVR Audio, because since I started in this business it took over musicdsp.org.

What I object to is the fact that my integrity was globally attacked and ^all* of my work demeaned not only on KVR, but on every single board I visit, because I wanted 10 or 20 dollars to do a week's work for one customer, when I have distributed free software to thousands of people, which you can ...

It was $20 for a month, or $100 for a year, to continue to support Reaktor. No one on the KVR forums wanted to pay anything at all for Reaktor support and criticized me to death for wanting any money at all for anything, and I had to drop supporting Reaktor at all, as it doesnt do multimedia anyway...

As for the other statements, I already answered them, and I am not repeating what I said above again, except to say, I have lost money hand over fist on development this last two years, but I am still distributing audio software for free--just as I was before--because I will not let my own ideals b...

I did not refuse to support paying customers. I wanted $10 for an upgrade and refused to distribute old versions of my Reaktor ensembles that only worked on versions of Reaktor that had been hacked. And Native Instruments was very supportive of that choice. KVR members, on the other hand, incrimina...

Just so noone takes what Ernest is claiming at face value, here are some facts to repudiate certain assertions he's made. Anonymous members there who would never have been tolerated on the original musicdsp.org lists criticized my integrity and claimed my work as their own with hostility. When I def...
