I’m getting soooo many emails from plugin and sample developers that read something to the effect of “Black Friday is Finally Here!” Um, no, it’s literally not finally here. Even more, I’ve started getting these on Tuesday — which, according to my research, is still not Friday.

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),
Simeon2 CommentsThat 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

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
peter posted in the group Open Mic (Open Discussion)
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
3 Comments@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

Happy Friday,
If you look on the navigation bar to the left of this post, you’ll notice an expandable menu item labeled “Cake to LM Equivalent Links.” These are links to LinkedMusician’s equivalents to the Cakewalk Deals subforum, the Coffee House and the Songs forum; the three main places most of this community spent time at over at the…Read More

BTW, you’re really doing a good job with this forum, it’s looking great👍
1 CommentThanks. 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

If you’re looking to find the Groups visit The Wall and look at the widget (block) on the right-hand side and select a Group. They’re all still available and fully usable. I’ve merely been trying different configurations to see if when I cut back to a single wall, if it might result in the community more actively using the social walls. So far, it…Read More

The Cure is getting set to make their 2024 return official, teasing the arrival of the lead single from their forthcoming Songs of a Lost World — “Alone” — set to drop later this week.

I’ve given advice to more than three dozen sample and plugin developers over two decades. I haven’t talked to any of them about joining yet. I wanted to wait until we were opened it to public registration next month. But the word is starting to get out. I can see that there’s an interest.
I was just wondering what everyone’s take is on…Read More
2 CommentsPeter’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

What are some of the things that most inspire you to play and/or write music?
4 CommentsSimple. 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

How would you name the social media accounts for a music project, when the 1:1 version is already taken? Would you go with:
– project_official
– project_band
– project_musicor something else? This is currently more of a solo effort, though any live performances would require a band. I’m personally leaning towards the project_music, but…Read More
3 CommentsI 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

I wanted to take some time out to show my appreciation and acknowledge some of the members of the community who have pitched in and epitomized the values I had envisioned for this community, a place committed to being the friendliest, most helpful and welcoming community of its kind.

Have you experienced this ZEN state after practicing your instrument for like more than 20/30 minutes, so focused, non stop?
I love it and at some point experiencing it, it’s like you don’t exist anymore (scary thought but it’s awesome).3 CommentsI’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

Happy birthday to my favorite developer and sincerely one of the best human beings you could find on this planet, @gregjazz Greg was the person who encouraged me to attempt to play again around 3 years ago during the pandemic — around 20 years since I left music behind due to an injury causing lifelong tendonitis that makes playing drums even…Read More
