| ive not actually started producing yet, as im waiting till i can afford a new computer of my own. Thing is i was wondering if it is possible to download VSTs and then like, save them onto cd so i could transfer them to another computer?..at the moment i have a pc which the whole family uses and have broadband, so i was thinking of downloading things such as VSTs and then trasnferring them onto my new pc in my room , so that i dont have to get a sepoerate modem.....is this actually possible?? im not really too clued up in computers and production etc. thanks:) |

Might not be legal, unless you are talking about freeware vsti's ...

| The illigal bit would be downloading them if they were warez. If not you can save a file how you want, you buy the VST, it doesn't matter what you do with it unless you distribute it. You can copy it for back up reasons. |

Sounds like you just need to convince your family to let you network the 2 computers. Buy some cable, a hub, 2 network cards, and then go on over to http://www.wown.com/ - its a site that has lots of tutorials on networking your computers. Once you've networked them, you can share your internet connection, trade files between computers, whatever you want. I'd also recommend looking into disabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP and instead using IPX (TCP/IP netbios will get you hacked/wormed eventually, but IPX is incapable of anything past your LAN so its safer).
So yeah, I'd recommend doing as much research and downloading of free synths as you can now, so when you finally get your computer you can have it all ready and start producing sooner.

EDIT: I guess you can just go to www.zonelabs.com and look for their free version of zonealarm, that might help the netbios situation without disabling it. |
