Perhaps you're referring to a post of mine where I was questioning how/when users were using the bounce and how/when they were applying their effects and how/when they would need to have effected bounced tracks. My post had no negative attitude whatsoever.

I'm not a moderator nor do I work for Toontrack in any way. I'm a betatester.

There are alot of different users of S2. Some are live e-drummers where using real time effects are useful for them. The software isn't broken for them or has functionality that doesn't work. Some users freeze S2 to unload the RAM and to ease CPU hit. The effects work just fine for them.

I do understand that bouncing including effects is important for some users but definitely not for all users and the effect do work great in quite a number of user setups. So to say that "it's a bit dishonest of them to advertise functionality that doesn't actually work" I think is a bit unfair IMHO.
