If you guys are interested, on the non-public part of the site, I’ll share the horror story of what led to me finally closing the forum and OPEN MIC and candidly, it may mean that I won’t be posting anymore beyond the blog and keeping up the lists.

….  I like seeing all the deals in one place, sure, but there are other places you can do that…..

Come on. I just poured my heart into this place, time and money and the first thing you’re doing is using LinkedMusicians to ask about where to replace the site? Ther…Read More

I, for one, am interested to learn a little about business & marketing, especially your qualified & honest (ethical) takes on things happened in our niche world (music production tools & industries). Of course, keep it digestible & not too deep (i.e.: not overly too long).

I agree, except I don’t mind the…Read More

I think I like “killer deals” more than “just deals.” it supports those like me who doesn’t have unlimited funds, while living in a country included in “countries with lower purchasing power” list of an online music course site (they are offering scholarships for students from those countries).

Honestly, I’m also more familiar with forums form…Read More

Still, on a relative basis, out of all of the forums included in this analysis that aren’t LinkedMusicians, KVR would rank as the one I like the best.

So, your toxicity leveling is actually the opposite of Gemini’s?

Btw, I like the blog post, and this is exactly why you should keep blogging.

Well, I def…Read More

I value the most the community, from Peter to all members, just to mention a few: Patrick and Ken (Zarg).
To me you guys coming here and commenting shows me your desire to live, to give, to connect (fodder for a song?).

If you want to make songs you need to find out how to do it, a tool for songwriting will help…Read More

Peter, my thought, that will be the end as no one really goes to reddit for deals, that interface is not really suitable for it, back to kvr, rekkerd or cakewalk then i guess, shame it did not survive. just my couple of cents.

I respect that. Despite our beta group coming from the Cakewalk Deals subforum, I…Read More

Really like the laid-back atmosphere in this forum, and especially really liking the Deals forum (for the obvious reason).

Hopefully you can continue blogging, because I learn much from it, the business/marketing angle and also the insider scoops.

Thank you for all your hard work & personal sacrifices. It’s nice that you are going to keep all…Read More

I’m working on a logo for the LinkedMusicians subreddit — following Reddit’s standards. But I realize that it won’t be ideal with our dark and light feature on the site.
