With wish all good dear friend Peter, míra

Every time I see your words, I see a kindred spirit. It’s a great example of how powerful and simple connections can be.

I’m so glad to have you on board. To be really candid, even if it isn’t about deals, I want to keep in touch with group members. There are people who were only here for the deals, and I’ll be very candid, I have no connection with them. If that’s what this place was, then that’s fine. But I tried to create something special and I would love to keep at it, and I think a big part of me would actually prefer we didn’t have deals, and just focused on discussing making music and encouraging one another in our musical endeavors. That was the biggest inspiration for me doing this. I honestly feel like the deal part of the site cheapens that.

The free lists, I love because there are no barriers to entry (besides a computer and MIDI controller). There are no motives to be judged. I put time in creating that list because I hope that some of the people who use it are those who didn’t have the budget to make purchases and find something beautiful that surprises and inspires them. That would be fantastic to me. While finding deals on products is fun. It’s just not as meaningful to me. One of our members — someone very special to me — shared a song he just completed with me in a PM. He was really excited to share it and I thought it was a cool song and a lot of fun and listened to it from start to finish and let  him now I enjoyed it.

Just simple acts of consideration and encouragement of each other in our musical endeavors. That to me is very meaningful.
