fretman started the topic Do you work in parallel or series? in the forum Recording, Mixing & Mastering Discussion
Do you work on one project until “completion” and then start next, or do you work on more than one at a time? When my ears get fatigued from hearing the same thing over and over again I usually go walk the dogs or go grocery shopping. But I’m thinking maybe I should just switch to another project.

Do you work on one project until “completion” and then start next, or do you work on more than one at a time?

I’ve certainly worked on several song ideas concurrently. In fact, one song can often generate an idea that doesn’t feel quite right in the current song, but can be used in a second song – and then there’s also the thing you’ve mentioned about not being sure of where to go next with the song currently being worked on, so you move to another one,…Read More

LinkedMusicians started the topic Should We Close It the Non-Music Production Deals Subforum? in the forum Non-Music Production Related Deals
Hi all.
As a community that only opened to the public less than a year ago, change is the only constant.
This forum, Non-Music Production Related Deals, hasn’t seen a new post in nearly 4 weeks. Consequently, I’m questioning if we should continue it. Commonly held wisdom for forums is that 90% of a forum’s visitors are non-logged-in lurkers.…Read More -
LinkedMusicians replied to the topic Native Instruments Insolvency and Updates in the forum The Industry
The more I think about this situation, the more it appears very likely that Plugin Alliance will be sold off. As someone who owns a lot of software from NI, iZotope, and Plugin Alliance, I am — realistically — very concerned about this situation.
Why do I feel more confident about Plugin Alliance being sold that any other part of NI?
