LinkedMusicians replied to the topic Should this reaction emoticon replace the standard thumbs-up at OPEN MIC? in the forum LM Announcements / Site Discussion

After trial and error, I replaced the LIKE reaction for OPEN MIC with a hand doing the sign of horns. The emojis are really small and it was difficult to make anything out. So, after trying some variations, I found one that worked best (the emoji you see above this text).
What do you think?

Origin story – here is a portion of what I wrote for our local bluegrass club newsletter:
Imagine you’re back in 7th grade and you’re going to your first dance in the mid-60’s. The girls are all over there. The boys are all over here. Everyone’s nervous. No one knows what to do or what to expect. And then the band starts playing. Luckily…Read More

Is it just me – or is there a general thing at many open-mic events where people chat throughout performers’ sets? It’s a tad frustrating!
I’m going to have to purchase a massive stack and turn it up to 11!

You’re spot-on, Joe. A few open-mics that I’ve been to, the audience really respects the musicians and there’s definitely also an unwritten law that says that if most people are keeping their conversations generally quieter, then they will too, however, one open-mic that I performed at recently was at absurd conversation level even before it…Read More

This synth is being published with a company
That is right, sorry for publishing the documentation for freeware, it was picked up too soon.
This synth was meant to be commercial and by fortune I got to sign a contract after giving up on that goal.
Thanks all who participated on Beta process, archiving this repository.

Just back from the second Love Music Hate Racism gig I have helped to arrange in York (England) and pleased to say it was another sell out – the last tickets sold this morning which was a relief! The format was the same as last time with three punky bands and lots of young people moshing in somewhat alarming fashion in the eyes of this 66 year…Read More

Euphoric sonic recall. You remember it sounding one way, only to find the actual sound is not quite as spellbinding as you recall. We considered the hypnotic scores of the mid-1980s and aimed to recreate the fizzing sensation of that era. The romantic comedies, the teen angst of the Brat Pack, Pretty In Pink, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Electric Dr…

“HOOPUS” for $149 is a great deal. It does eat a whole terabyte if you download the entire library, but the Opus engine does support “download on demand”, where sections are only downloaded as you implement them. You will have to wait a bit (or maybe a long time), depending on your d/l speed and how many sections / articulations your patch r…Read More

It does seem to be usual here in the UK unfortunately – I think people tend to think of them as more informal events so tend to talk more. If it is a free entry gig in a pub it is hard to control that unfortunately. What is worse is when there is a booked artist at a free entry gig and people talk all the way through – this happened at several…Read More
