    I tried the cheapest sub when it was on offer for a year. Great plugins and sounds but…

    I didn’t renew mostly because of Roland Cloud Manager. If you don’t have it running and logged in all the time then any Roland plugin won’t authorise. I got sick of it.

    Roland make it so hard to understand the pricing structure on these products.

    How much would it cost to upgrade from this to Zenology Pro Collection?

    not that interested just out of curiosity

    Rarely on sale.
    OTOH if you do the sub for one year ($99) you can choose among so-called Legendary synths like the D-50 to keep. And they’re better looking as well as better sounding.

      Spring and Summer here means garden and yard work. The soundtrack of which (for me) is “Thump-a Thump-a Thump-a…” to keep me moving. Just the usual pop/EDM artists, I’m afraid.

You might be listening to some music that I’m not very familiar with — and that goes for others here too. Please do tell! Even if it’s not new to us, it’s still interesting to…Read More

          Dave Guetta (et al), Daft Punt, Deadmau5 Kaskade, etc for “Thump-a”. When I am in a reminisce mood, I put on some Beach Boys, Queen, Dire Straits, Doobies, Toto, CCR, Steely Dan… Gotta be up-tempo so I don’t fall asleep leaning on my shovel. I actually have a suntan going already. I’m gonna get kicked out of the nerd union.

            I do have lawn to mow I need to find my earbuds. Yard work is a lot more pleasant when there are good tunes playing. I usually like something chill when i’m doing yardwork. Although, when the lawnmower is on, I might switch to something more aggressive to drown out the sound. I enjoy all of the bands you listed a lot — maybe with the exception of…Read More

              /Drifting topic, this is the wall/ I used to use wired earbuds that fit well under my hearing protection muffs.

              I was born with a birth defect in my inner ears. I’ve been through around a dozen surgeries. I have had a fairly serious hearing loss since I was a kid, because of that, very bad tinnitus and hearing-related issues that I don’t want to list publicly. It’s all part of why I look at the fact that with tendinitis, hearing loss, and tinnitus, I…Read More

      Another incredible life performance. She’s won a Grammy, but still not very well known. Her guitar playing is killer on this too. It’s nuanced, it’s jazzy. The song goes from 4 to 7. It’s just such a great, locked in groove. It really makes me miss live performance.

          Millie Manders and The Shutup, it kinda reminds me of Pink. Good voice, and very catchy pop. Olcay Bayir does have a lovely voice! It’s cool how different these two bands are and you enjoy them both! I’m right with you. I don’t really care what genre something is, I’m open to all of it. Nice share!

            When it hits 9 nested tables, you can’t reply to a reply anymore. Facebook and Reddit go 10. I’m not sure why this was written to stop at 9. I’m sure lamia6 could do a much better job of explaining it and why they might have stopped at 9 instead of 10.

    I was made aware of the music of the profoundly talented Madison Cunningham around a decade ago. She’s the musical heir of Jeff Buckley in many ways, an artist I really greatly appreciated. Her music has been in my headphones for many hours when working on this site.
