so was that a joke or what?

I got 1 email from the guy and then he never wrote back anything...

I'm calling bullshit!

I got an email back saying that the team was full, even though I was one of the first ones to read the mail.

I just got a mail that says i got to hand-sign the NDA. But i don't have a scanner / fax. And he doesn't accept a hand-sign made in a painter app.

Ah well, at least the Abe's have a beta for us.

I guess i'll just try to remember how they handled this whole deal the next time i'm shopping for plugs.

Same here, asked me what platform and, something like 2 minutes later, emailed back saying the team was full. Why ask, then?

sounds like underhanded market research.

No that is not right.

I am a Waves beta tester and people ask me at least once a week how they can be a beta tester for Waves. The first thing; it helps if you ever bought a Waves plug-in or bundle!

I don't know any facts about the selection process here, but generally most of the beta testers started out as customers. Is that surprising to anyone ?

Please remember that this is not a public beta program so there were not hundreds of chances to win. If you were playing it as a lottery, well of course that was bound to end in disappointment. I am sorry, but Ari is working with Frank's team to get Waves and Live working together well, not to hold a lottery. Name calling will not increase your chances anyway, so please just enter legitimate contests and make good music with what you have. There was no harm in trying; but the response here is not helpful to the goal, which I think Ari stated very clearly.

They could do me the courtesy of a reply, regardless of how little chance I have of success, don't you think? Rude tossers.

with beta testing, do you usually get to keep the software for free?? Or does it time out afer a while??

damn! What is with you spoilt little children!? Like Waves OWES you something!?! Just because they didn't respond doesn't mean they are rude, it most likely means they were overwhelmed by all the people that requested to beta test. They are under no obligation to respond to anyone unless you fit their criteria.

And that's also why they asked some of you what your specs are as they need to test certain systems. For example, if you said you had a dual G5 Mac, they may be all filled up with testers that have the configuration. If you had a 1.67GHz powerbook, maybe that's what they still needed testing on...

Just be honost with them and if you get in then, yay, you get free Waves plug-ins and if you don't, then you didn't lose ANYTHING! So stop whining!

(damn I'm so sick of these forums lately)

… I don’t know what all the fuss is about they signed me up straight away,
they also sent me six cases of champagne and £1000 spending money for a date
with either Beyonce Knowles or Christina Aguilera which their arranging right now.
I think they mentioned free plugins for life as well …
… dam, I just woke up…
