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?

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

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.

probably need some more: KVR, Fender Studio One, Avid Pro Tools, Home Theater, AVS 🙂
