Reply To: Latest Site Update and 5 Suggestions to Get More Out of LinkedMusicians

[Peter Woods]

After feedback, the name of the section formerly called REFERENCE has been changed to KNOWLEGE HUB.

Think of KNOWLEDGE HUB as the place where you can find any kind of content — videos, articles, podcasts, glossaries / dictionaries  — related to songwriting, composing, making music, music theory, music production, and music promotion. Right now we have magazine articles from great publications like Sound on Sound, Mix, Tape Op…we great podcasts and YouTube channels. All of it is regularly (dynamically) updated to provide you with the latest content. The basic idea was to bring all of the things you need together. And all of it is completely free. None of it is behind paywalls. Of course, there’s no paid sections of LinkedMusicians, and none of the links to other sites have content behind a paywall.

In addition to the third-party content (e.g., magazines, podcasts, YouTube channels) that you’ll find at KNOWLEDGE HUB, you’ll also find LinkedMusicians own QuickGuides covering areas like MIDI, music theory, and music audio production, glossaries/dictionaries covering audio production and songwriting. Of course, we’ll be adding a lot more over time, so this is just the beginning. On that note, we welcome your contributions — if you have expertise to share in audio production, setting up a home studio, songwriting, composition, or any other areas relevant to our community, please shoot me a message and let me know.  If there are great resources like podcasts and YouTube channels you think are worthy of being added, just suggest them — even post a comment in this thread. In a nutshell, the critieria is that the channel is hosted by an expert or someone who interviews experts and is strong at delivering informative content in a compelling manner with minimal product shilling. This isn’t the place to include influencers compensated to hawk products. People can post that content in other sections of the site. KNOWLEDGE HUB has a mission to be true to its name and include minimal product promotion.

As always, I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on all of this. Like it, love it, meh, hate the change and want things the way they were — it’s valuable to know. This site is about all of us, so understanding how you use it, and what you find valuable and what you don’t find valuable, is incredibly important to that mission. So don’t be shy! As always, just keep the criticism constructive. Instead of posting, “this sucks!” or “this is a dumpster fire” — explain what you don’t like and why you don’t like it so that it can be understood and learned from.

Thanks!
