| If I was worried about harsh comments, I wouldn't have started a thread, on the internet, looking for feedback. Anyway... You bring up some interesting features—a few of which I have planned for future releases. I can't do it all in a 1.0 release, though. Someone with a "strong professional background" should be well aware that getting to a 1.0 is the toughest part of the battle. I obviously plan to add far more functionality going forward, and you can rest assured that I have some amazing stuff up my sleeves. Whether my customers perceive the application as a "Hello World" audio program (which I strongly disagree with, by the way) is a whole other story. I don't think they care what's under the hood as long as it meets their needs, and does it better than anything else, and with ease. Many of the customers I've shown Capo to have never even known that time-pitch correction was possible, for instance. I can't fathom a user looking at my software and claiming, "Hey, I can code that in a weekend." However, looking at any of the other solutions, I'm sure users would be intimidated. I want to bring this mature technology to a user base that isn't really interested in opening up a myriad of plugins and digging through complex UI. No, these users want to be playing a song in iTunes, realize they should try and learn the song, and drag the song onto the Capo dock icon and start learning right away. That "simple" feature alone cost me about a month of off-and-on experimentation and hacking. And, I was nice enough to share the solution to that problem on my blog for all to see, so that folks like you can make your "Hello World" solutions that much more quickly. However, once you get to Capo's 1.0 state, I can assure you that you'll be far behind, eating my dust... |
