I don't want my stuff in the cloud. I want it on my local system. I want to be able to use it when the internet is out, which happens a lot, as I am in a rural area where it happens frequently. There are no other internet options here. It is really aggravating to be denied access to a LOCAL application when the internet is out. I shouldn't need internet access to run a sound app like this. No one else requires this for voice changer software. Cloud requirements are really not very smart these days. For something which is COMPLETELY a local function, the cloud is not necessary. It's fine if you want it as an option for users who want it, but for the rest of us who don't care for it or want it, we should be able to opt out and keep our data local. We paid for the program, so it shouldn't be about monetizing us more. We're not the product. Stop treating us like one. Also, I better not find out you're feeding MY voice data to AI, or using AI to generate anything without my permission, or this program will hit the recycle bin so hard, it will leave permanent dents in the rim. Understand?
