commercial templates bad for the community?

[Joe Soap]

Well, I guess that clears up the Liine stance on matters.

@ unMUTED:

^ This . . . is informality. One often encounters this on the internet and in daily life.

But on that subject, and in the spirit of community I'll give you some free marketing advice re: the name, and how running it by a "native-speaker" probably wasn't quite over the line - and again, it all boils down to subtlety of language. It's an unwieldy word, slightly pretentious and definitely smacks of a non-native facility with english. Please don't misunderstand me, your english is excellent - my Polish, on the other hand, could use some polish.

Take a leaf out of one of the products you're piggybacking on, Cubase. <- Absolutely brilliant made-up word that fair rolls off the tongue . . . and if I'm not mistaken is probably a hybrid of "cue" and "base". An appropriate name for software intended to be a home of sorts, for multiple "cues".

I'm gonna stop short of suggesting some better names though - pay me or f*uck off!

Must commend you on some nice work on the promo vids and website though. Very slick, for the most part.

Softcore you're the more educated man I never seen in forums, I am 100% agree with many of your comments here and I would have them in consideration if I were a template seller.

I would love to have better english skills what I do to be more participative here,

@wul I know the Liine thoughts about that, it seems the basic principle to create an active community where we sharing/learn from each other.

thx guys for the kinds works btw, it's an honour to me to contribute if that helps new lemur users.

So, if I sell a template you guys will not get angry ? haha

@wul

My apologies to you too.

@Joe
thanks for clarification and free marketing advice. It is rather too late for rebranding - I'd rather spend my time on making new templates - anyway, good products with a unwieldy name are much better then bad products with a great name.

[Joe Soap]

Yeah.

This is true.

I can see you're a man of great vison and foresight.

There is ...

Freeware
Donationware
Shareware/Cripleware
Payware

All of them have proven to be valuable. None of them is better than the other. No right, no wrong. They do co-exist for several platforms that support templates/sounds/plugins/etc. Bottom line one has always to make her/his purchase decision based on the value she/he will get of it.

And I do believe a separate "Commercial Templates" section in this forum could be beneficial to Liine. Since this could motivate MORE professional "template artists" to provide MORE professional templates. Which would help a lot to maximize value of the original lemur purchase. Don't get me wrong here, but there are tons of free templates I consider, öhm, nice ... but not great though. Pretty much similar to the ones I could provide.

@iABI
Thanks for your response. I am not angry - just surprised by some assumptions:-). And I am totally for proper credits and enumeration for the people who directly or indirectly contributed to commercial projects.

No problem! Just as said above, I was not talking about of you. My position is that you (like other template builders) are free to make whaever with their creations (sharing/selling them) and I personally respect that, really not a problem for me.

Cheers,

damn, if people even are not happy with FREE templates just joking, but really the point of lemur is not to create your own and customized templates ?

Of course I haven't checked yours, IABI ... until now

better don't do that!

Seriously there are great stuff in the user library, it just depends of what you want, but if you can, customizing your setup is the best, many templates are just examples, or workaround in order to show some functionalities, they might be useful if you are looking for a specific object behavior, functions, learning,etc.

Cheers,
