    Hello, all ye Linked ones!
    I am still trying to get a rhythm with the new forum but am very excited to see how much it has grown. I am cooking Thanksgiving for all of us this year so feel free to grab a slice of Thanksgiving Pizza!
    Thankful for Peter and all of you who make this community so special.
    Stay Joyful (and Thankful),
    Simeon

      Great to see you here Simeon! Gonna pass on that pizza (oh my), but I will take a piece of a pumpkin pie version.

      That can’t be real, can it? Wait. I just googled it. It is real!!! Horrifying.

      In any event, thanks for the kind words, @praisetracks.

    Was there a glitch in the matrix, or am I already at an unhealthy number of log-ins per day?

    Presonus forum…. ?? I have not used Studio One for a while, but I decided to drop in on their forum to catch up. The notice says it was shut down permanently November 11 and please go to my.presonus.com OK- I did. The “community” there is READ ONLY unless you are a paid subscriber to the Presonus Sphere or whatever the new name is. Did…Read More

      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….

    I should have anticipated this…This morning my right wrist is in a lot of pain from tendinitis. No doubt from my spending far too much time on the computer posting deals. I’m using my phone and may not be posting any more deals today unless my tendinitis pain improves.

    Sorry. That’s my reality. Hopefully, with an ice pack and some ibuprofen…Read More

    Woof! As the new deal guru, I’ve been manically posting. If anyone is game to take over this role, please PM me. I would gladly train you and share my process and focus on other work on the site I need to get too. But whatever happens, we will have a GREAT deals forum.

    I have a ton of deals to post and have been prioritizing the ones from…Read More

    It’s pretty clear that sample and plugin developers aren’t waiting until Black Friday to have Black Friday-like sales. Clearly, there’s a mad dash by developers for our Black Friday money. We’re on it. Here we are still in beta test mode and already you’ll find more deals at LinkedMusicians Deals Forum than you’ll find at Cakewalk Forums or…Read More

    We just went over 100 members — and this is just the beta test group! That’s a pretty nice size beta test group — er, Early Adopters. Yeah, Early Adopters sounds much cooler, right? 🙂

    So, I finally got the DNS situation for linkedmusicians emails worked out and should have system emails set up by this weekend. After that’s been thoroughly…Read More

    Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I’m signing up a bunch of folks from Cakewalk Forums today. Be sure to keep letting people know about this community, that’s how we grow. It looks like public registration will begin next week. Please let others know that they can be registered for the site by sending an email to lin…Read More

      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

    So I might have had three cups of coffee today and I’m presently contemplating a fourth cup. This might be my all-time record, but it’s probably not.

    I believe I made a new friend last night. It was good to talk to you @mibby

    Has anyone else in the community recently picked up the phone and called a community member you made friends with in this group?

    I visited a friend I made at KVR in New Zealand, another (Ben, Camel Audio), in Scotland, another in Chicago… I’ve always found it exc…Read More

    Very few people live to be 100, let alone a former president.

      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

    Both of my kids, teenagers, hide their Spotify playlists from me. I’m told I get too “cringey” when I talk about music. Maybe thats why I appreciate this group so much! But yesterday, my wife was playing my daughter’s Spotify playlist and I was amazed at how many songs I turned her on to were on her Playlist. Songs from Radohead, Jeff Buckley,…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.
