Tight budget (university student). Seldom buy non-essential software. Like AudioCodex so well I paid for it. But no instrux for formally registering it, now, and no instrux to be found on the website, the wiki, the forums.
Feature Request: Straightforward registration process. Thanks.
(Oh. And key the visualizer to music, not keyboard and mouse clicks via built-in mic. I shouldn't have to kill the mic I use to chat so I can "see" my music.)
Hi Doc,
We appreciate every licence fee, so thanks for that, and we apologise if there has been a delay in delivering the licence file to you, or if the procedure isn't clearly detailed; we are new to the online-selling game but learning fast, and we will add some more information about the process & procedures to our site in the very near future. We are also at work on a new 'licenced users' section of our site, which paid-up users will be able to use to retrieve a copy of the licence file any time they are online.
A brief rundown on the licencing process is as follows:
When you click the 'Buy now' button on our 'Store' page, you are taken to the Paypal website, where ( assuming you are already registered with Paypal) you sign-in and complete the transaction with one or two clicks of the mouse.
Once the transaction has been completed, Paypal is supposed to redirect your browser back to our website again, where a 'Thank you' page should be shown, which contains some instructions on what will happen next, and what you will need to do to 'unlock' AudioCodex itself.
At the time this page is displayed, our server is supposed to automatically generate an email message to you with a licence file attached. Loading the licence is as simple as clicking on the attachment in Mail, which should then launch AudioCodex, which then licences itself. Note that as we don't currently collect any other information from licencees, our initial point of contact will always be the email address associated with the Paypal account used for payment.
As the generation of the licence file is automated, it should occur within seconds of the Paypal payment going through, however we have had a few users report that they didn't receive the auto-response, presumably due to server timeouts, although we haven't been able to confirm the cause. In any case, we monitor the Paypal payment & licence generation separately, and manually issue licence files in the case of the automated system failing.
If you have paid for a licence but haven't received a licence file from us by email within 1 hour of completing the Paypal transaction then you should email us using any of the existing 'contact us' links on the site; include the name and email address of the Paypal account used to pay for the licence, and we will generate a licence file manually and send it along post-haste.
Re visualiser responding to the output signal, rather than the input, this is an important feature to us too, it has proved to be quite tricky to implement but progress is being made. In the interim, we are using one of the built-in patches provided by Quartz Composer, which is great in that it provides an immediate 'no-code' spectral analyser, but not so great in that this analyser is locked to the System's Default Input.
Cheers,
