Status update thread gone

Not guilty this time.
JesseG has his name against it, but I don’t have a reason.

Milky, who is also an admin, already said I deleted it. The thread’s last 9 months were repetitive and of a deconstructive nature. The only legit reason people were offering for wanting an update is to see a higher version number in the about window. To my knowledge Leif hasn’t announced any "for sure" additional features in Breakaway yet (although you can almost bet on there being Undo available in all of them, at least as an upgrade). So I deleted it.

How about some more constructive energy in the future? Someone/s could easily start a topic/s about features they would like to be able to upgrade to in the future (now that Breakaway, through Leif’s new framework, supports the ability to have unlocking of features with codes you could buy). Even one good upgrade suggestion could be worth 1,000 "Status Update" topics, to everyone here, and especially to Leif (vs repeatedly insulting him).

2012 will hopefully see Breakaway Home Theater come out, with Undo and UPMAX. Both two huge things to be excited about, and make you want a 5.1 setup if you don’t already have one. I keep forgetting to remind Leif that he needs to create and we need to test other output configurations too, like 4.0/4.1. Haven’t talked to him in about a week.

Last I’ve heard… all of the Breakaway products will continue. I’ve never heard even a hint of anything otherwise. There might be some options to unlock upgrades. There will be new products, like Breakaway Home Theater. Undo should be available some way or another in everything, I’m not sure which products (if any) might have it included in the current pricing, and which will only be available as an unlockable upgrade… namely Breakaway Audio Enhancer, which is simply priced too low to put Undo in it by default, since the declipper is licensed, for starters. The rest of what it’s doing is also a HUGE new feature, so… it totally warrants a small price to unlock it.

I have a lot of friends in the hi-fi industry, and trust me… just a unit that does Undo, and nothing else, with a killer analog converter built in, would sell like HOT CAKES, for $10,000 a pop.

Breakaway DJ will have the best chance at seeing the most changes happen from being re-thought, and all good. Such as supporting TCV with some decent routing options so that it’ll support the current (and imho crappy) proprietary TCV hardware, but allow more advanced fun stuff if you’re using a pro setup with more IO like an RME and a more… open DVS software. (nudge wink)

Expect continuing of Breakaway’s motif of mostly unadjustable (and hard to make sound bad) products at bat-shit mental retardedly low pricing. (for instance, BAE is 0.002 times the price of a fully loaded Omnia.9, and obviously can’t be compared without people laughing at you, mostly Omnia.9 owners)

Most of this info has already been posted by Leif or myself, some of it in the status update topic, so it’s only fair i very briefly reiterate a little bit of it. 🙂 I decided to lock this topic, and Leif can update it or unlock it if he ever wants to.
