Last post by Tim Gainer - July 02, 2026, 09:51:02 PMGee, I guess the threats didn't work...so they upgraded anyway! 
INteresting that they're going with version 2.0 upgrades (at last). I'm intrigued to se what this Gen3 thing is all about.

OtsAV 3 'NextGen'
It's nice they are planning multi platform support - however....
Why not at least give us a hint of new features for Version 3?
Voice-tracking?
Buttons for Jingles, Sweepers etc?
Would be nice

Last post by DJ_Zath - June 11, 2026, 05:37:03 AMHi Milks!
I NEVER received this email (nor the "60 percent off" email, either) go figure! (I DO remember getting a "Christmas special" email back awhile ago, though and another one about updates to fix DPI scaling issues and other things...)

Last post by milky - June 08, 2026, 10:50:06 PMHi Zath. It was a legitimate email, received (presumably) by anyone on their mailing list who has ever purchased a licence. We also got the big "60 percent off" email at the same time, or shortly after.

Last post by DJ_Zath - June 07, 2026, 08:42:42 PMUPDATE: It appears that I never got this letter, go figure! (probably was their newsletter or whatnot...)
Could this actually NOT be from Ots but, rather, an elaborate SCAM/PHISHING scheme? did you receive it in your SPAM folders?

Last post by DJ_Zath - June 07, 2026, 06:34:34 AMhas anyone ever realized that where/when ever Ots set up an office, there has been a heist of some sort in the vicinity?? hehe
First off, I never received this letter! (I wonder if its buried somewhere in my mail client; I will look a bit more deeply for it!)
One of my admins- no! a couple of them have asked me "why do you STAY with this buggy, obsolete program?" and I have asked MYSELF this very same question many MANY times, as well! for YEARS I put up with its less than precise DEMAND for specific resources which I TRIED to provide for it; even dedicated constructs and architecture JUST for Ots EXCLUSIVELY.. and all-in-all, I never DID solve the audio crackling issues in-time. BUT, by that time I reached the point where "it doesn't really MATTER anymore" and so I kept up with it. I also integrated an entire system- a custom layout that allowed Ots to be used in a capacity beyond its initial design... and, that design STILL works today (though, again, there is really NO point to it anymore!).
I guess I'm a Ots "Dedi" after all!
but, thats where it ENDS.. I do NOT plan to continue with Ots once they switch to subscription-based licensing. sorry! Ots simply IS NOT WORTH IT! when compared to whats available out there, today, Ots really is "Micky Mouse/Fisher Price" in features, interface, (lack of) support for sound interfaces other than sound blaster, etc... when compared to other solutions available. I TRIED- I really DID try to get Ots to SHINE and, in a way, I HAVE.. (to the point that I proudly-display it on my video feeds whenever I access it or when its playing as the auto-DJ on my station). I even expanded its capabilities such as a SECURED search and request system over IRC and audio DJ switchover (NOT using its input, of course), auto ID/bumper insertion, auto metadata insertion, override, etc... and, so I have a UNIQUE and dedicated system that wraps all around the thing (Ots)! and for that, I guess I'll stick with Ots to the BITTER end... (but MY time on this planet is fast-approaching and so, even more, my time while on the internet as a "free entity"(and, is FAST approaching the END.) but, for now.. I am still here, for what its worth.
I will go now and look to see if I got this letter in the spam folder or wherever Gmail puts things... and, then I can further comment. it sounds like its going to be a doeser!

Last post by milky - June 03, 2026, 06:41:29 AMI have a feeling that he was from that area in the first place. Ots is an unusual surname. At one stage they were living on the Gold Coast in Queensland, but then created their office in the US and went dark.

Last post by Jigger - June 03, 2026, 06:17:32 AMIf I remember correctly, didn't Adam move to Sweden (or somewhere else in the Nordic region)?
From what I recall, that's roughly the point when development of Ots started to slow down. Before that, things seemed to be progressing at a steady and exciting pace — regular updates, clear communication, and a real sense of momentum.
Once the relocation happened, everything appeared to taper off. Maybe it's just coincidence, but looking back, the timing feels hard to ignore.
In those early days, development was moving along nicely, and it really felt like Ots was heading somewhere special.
