Let's get the Resonic Beta up on its feet!

[Tom]

Many huge parts of the program have been rebuilt from scratch for the Beta, so now it is really important to restore all functionality known from the Alpha.

Who's willing to help test these early (and currently pretty broken) Beta builds to perfection?

New features will be added back in as we move forward.

If there's interest I'd start preparing a first build soon.

Thanks

You guys are brilliant

I'm working day and night - literally - to fix the worst parts and get a first build ready, which - please bear with me - surely needs some more time to finish before I can hand it to you.

But let me explain the goal of this upcoming pre-Beta test run a little more:

As you know the rewrite that Resonic has been undergoing for the last couple of months is enormous. At least half (!) of the program is being rewritten, huge parts are being added, and, as I mentioned before, the goal here is to try and restore functionality and stability up to a point where the Beta behaves almost exactly like the last Alpha. This is really important. While at first glance it's just the user interface that might look a little different it's all new under the hood, and this needs serious testing.

The first few builds that I'm about to post here can be expected to be pretty broken, as in many features and functions are still missing / are not restored yet, the interface might behave weirdly, or look broken or incomplete. But that's okay. I've decided to no longer hold back half-broken builds (or what's the point of testing...) and let you guys just try out the current work in progress. Some essential bugs might come to light...

That much being said, your reports are an invaluable help and keep reminding me (I should say "us"... explain soon) about the pressing issues, about what needs to be done next. This project is getting really big, the idea list is piling up, and I'm convinced that this will blow many people's minds once it enters official Beta/Pro territory and a regular and more frequent update cycle.

Let me say again that your help is really appreciated!

Count me in too

[gavanbruderer]

I'm in as well!

[Tom]

The first test build is almost ready for testing

[Andreasvb]

My ears are ready, bring it on!

[Alt]

I'm in.

[BTGbullseye]

Ready and waiting.

[Mikeprs]

Hello everyone, ready to help and test stability

[Mute]

Chompin' at the bit!

[JamesEW]

I am having major PC hardware bsod failure at the moment so I won't be able to assist until its sorted. Hopefully won't be too long before I am up and running again and can test the new betas.

Sorry about this.

[Tom]

@JamesEW: No worries. Just join in when you can.

I'm still preparing the first build for you guys. But every day there's something new to fix. A little more patience please!

Take your time mate We're not in a hurry. This great program is worth all the waiting

As always, quality is best, deadlines are evil. Don't do deadlines, do quality!

[LopDog]

count me in, sorry for the slow answer

[Tom]

We're almost there! A first rough build should be ready within the next 2-3 days I'd say.

[Andreasvb]

Can't wait!

[audionaut]

Hi Tom, I´m ready to tweak Resonic´s Beta, eagerly expecting!!!

[JamesEW]

Only just got back online with my pc (long....) and need to install a bunch of stuff first but i'll try and jump in on the latest beta test build - resonic-test-141228-11733b right?

Bit out of the loop with what's going on but i'll try and give it a good test to see if i can break it

Are you still stripping these builds and reintroducing features from ground up per beta version?

[Tom]

@JamesEW: Yes, featured are added back in as we go. The waveform is now still priority #1, and is a bit trickier than expected.
