I truly believe those who beta test, suggest ideas which are
implemented, find bugs which are fixed should get a discount on the
program. After all, the facts are that Rob wouldn't find out problems
or potential areas of improvement without the beta testers, in house
or in the public betas, so if we signed up, agreed to beta test and
subject ourselves to the potential problems of such and such a beta,
we should be given a discount.
We did agree not to tell anyone about what we are doing, and though
it is true that practically anyone who truly wished of had the
inclination could do it, not many people would take the time. We take
the time, the beta testers and those on this list to suggest and
check out features and functions to see if they are practical, work
properly, and don't crash the program. It is a better piece of
software truly because of Rob, and those of us who ran the beta to
see if x y and z work while c d and e are also working.

I ordinarily don't do this, but I just have to agree with you, and that's about all I have to say. Some how it seems to me that beta testers should be Studio Recorder owners or a family member or employee of someone who owns a licensed copy of SR.
I'm not trying to slam anybody, but its' only fair that those involved with the beta testing should be licensed users. I do realize that the product costs $200, but that really isn't a unreasonable price, and if a person isn't willing to pay the $200 then I'm not sure that they should be on the beta team for that product.

APH has been very good at letting people simply be beta testers without purchasing the full release, but I am not sure if they want this to be the practice of people who use the product. Of course, this is not an official comment, just one that suggests that we should all support the products that people have worked so hard to provide for us.

When I got the beta file, I was told that the authorization expired on August 1,2006. Is the new beta up there yet?
