Not just you. Seems like the site was unresponsive for a while.

That sucks. Of course, I plan on buying their upgrade this month, but it would be nice if they had a forum, at least for support. That said, I do know of a forum with some really wonderful people….

The mods over at the old place have been cleaning up posts with mentions/links to this board. I believe if you write the URL or the name normally, one’s post will be automatically withheld for mod action (= deletion). It’s quite the paranoid android over there.

@Kirean If someone told you this stuff and you didn’t know it first hand, it would be hard to believe. And still BandLab refuses to fix the more than a dozen times they had data breaches and exposed my real name on their site. Mark them down as incredibly unprofessional.

I’m not well-versed in nor really who who is who behind the scenes, but I guess the ban hammer might have come from upstairs. Yet all my years ‘online’ and going through forums/message boards in all kinds of fields, I really haven’t seen a platform ban all mentions to competitors (DAWs in this case) like that. Then again, being new to music…Read More

It was good to “meet” you Peter.

Well said, history will be very kind to Carter.

Thanks. There are some things being worked on, so it’s only going to get better. But there’s been a lot of progress in the last 4 weeks. I would guess I’ve easily put 300 hours into this. It’s far exceeded a hobby project. I really haven’t done a community site of my own since the 00s, which became the site that made my career after going viral.…Read More

I find they like good songs from any period back to the 50’s across many genres/subgenres – rock, folk, rockabilly, pop, punk and so on. The dominance of Hip-Hop is waning and genres continue to blur resulting in some great new music arriving if you know how to find it.

I am all for it. I can only see benefits, especially if they are knowledgeable in the product. Of course salesman would not be the same. I thought Peter of IK does a great job on other forums.

Peter’s a friend of two decades. I don’t know if, from a business perspective, IK would want him to invest too much time when the community is small, but I do think he’d like what we’re doing here. I know that Peter and I share the same ideals on how people should treat one another, I’ll contact him tomorrow. I would — just on a personal level…Read More

Simple. I turned 11 years old the day The Beatles landed in the USA for the first time (7 Feb 1964). I saw them on Ed Sullivan both times they appeared. That was all I needed even though I didn’t actually fully start until 3 years later when I got my first electric guitar (not bass) and met up with kid I went to school with in the 5th grade who…Read More

Music was always in my family, my father was a drummer, my brother was a singer.

Beauty and some thoughts that are hard to speak. It’s basically necessity for expression. Music gives me all the liberty that I need 😀

I love look at the sky and somehow I fell connected.

When I heard Appetite for Destruction it was the most amazing thing I have ever heard.
Still, I think like Patrick, it’s something inside that drives me to do it (play guitar or sing).

I would tend to go with ProjectOfficial or project-official next.

I would not want to use the _ character as users tend to not remember that and there may be times you’re telling people and they’re not reading something and there’s also the fact that some people may see something and not do it immediately and rely on memory. There’s been a lot…Read More

Got it, no pressing enter while typing without pressing shift, too. And edit doesn’t work on Firefox, it seems.

Anyway, like I was saying, I was focusing more on the suffix, but I suppose I should consider the separator, too. The “official” feels like something that big names use when there are dozens of unofficial accounts. It also feels like I…Read More

Generally they say to avoid the underscore, and also the dot. RealProject would be another good alternative. Only 4 extra characters, looks professional and generic if Project switches to something else so it will still work. Character length is an issue on some platforms, like Twitter allows only 16, if your like say ProjectSeven that’s already…Read More

me too wanted to make a deal page and it feels good to be part

@satya It feels great to have you as a part of this.

I’ve felt that experience more when playing with other musicians. While I have been doing multitrack recordings since I was a kid, playing alone never came close to the experience of playing with other musicians. I think the closest I’ve come since tendonitis stopped my ability to play with other musicians — as I often can’t get through a minute…Read More

Aw, well, this feeling I have experienced is out of this world. Focusing on a riff for like 20/30 minutes without thinking is awesome. You don’t even think if you are doing it right or wrong, what finger goes to what fret, if you press it hard or soft. You just play and play and play. One of the best feelings I have experienced. Also, it motivates…Read More

Practicing groove/feel on bass for an hour gets me in that zone

Thanks for the feedback!
We can thank @fleer for the fact that we’re using these emoji reactions. I originally used an up and down voting system and Fleer made the case for having these kind of reaction emojis and I quickly realized that he was right. I then interviewed each member of my family — except our cat — and everyone agreed that…Read More
