I got an email from them a while back saying they weren't doing any more development on it for the foreseeable future. □ĭoes anyone know if the version they are selling now is newer than the last version I downloaded (1.5.3.4)?ĪFAIK they've not updated this in a while. Seems like it's time to investigate it further. I think I must have uninstalled it when I realised it operated outside of Sonar (or any DAW) rather than as a plugin. I even have some usage notes copied from the old forum (user Mangulator?) and some how-to links. I have a folder in my "Audio Production" software archive with LiquidNotes installer and LiquidMusic? installer (don't know what the latter is). Anyway, I did buy it! I think it was 10 USD. I saw this thread and thought "Oh yup I remember that sale" but was sure I didn't buy it. With all respect, it may be a PITA for some, but nothing to fear! Knowing and trusting the source of the code is always the best way to avoid compromise from any program!īottom line, imho, fear of Java is not a valid reason to avoid this useful app. So trusting a local Java app or a local Windows executable requires similar permissions. Since Java is not a compiled language like C or C++, it needs a Java runtime so that the code can be interpreted when run, in contrast to C++, which must be first compiled into an executable ".exe" to be run. Think MS ActiveX and Javascript exploits, as well as others. Running code from any external source via a web browser has always been a bad idea from a security perspective. I would definitely avoid the web browser plugin, and have made sure to keep it uninstalled for many years now. However, most of the negative publicity surrounding Java relate to the web browser plugin, which is well deserved, rather than the runtime. Java is still one of the leading languages used for enterprise scale computing. Running a local Java program in this runtime is no more risky than any other executable that you allow to run with privileges on your PC. Java is a very powerful computer language, but it does require a Java runtime to be installed in the PC host in order to execute a Java program. I can accept your opinion about Liquid Notes, but wish to clarify the comment about Java. With what is offered in Tracktion, FL, and other 3rd party apps this doesn't stack up to the competition. I had the previous version and removed it. I am surprised to see that they are still selling Liquid Notes after they announced the end of development for it, but that's good news since it is a unique product that still has value! I bought Liquid Notes a couple of years ago for a ridiculously low sale price.Īfter a period where they were attempting to redevelop Liquid Notes, Re-Compose announced over a year ago that they were switching strategy towards simpler, more versatile solutions to broaden their portfolio. It's really useful for getting alternative chords / melodies for existing Borthwick - if Cakewalk ever offers a something similar to a chord track, then THIS is what it should be like. More often that not, I export the MIDI and use the app standalone. It's a bit fiddly to use because it runs as a separate app, so you have to route the MIDI through loopback devices, but the results are great.
