Reflecting on this day, 23 years ago and my very non-marketing experience handling a forum for 9/11 World Trade Center attack survivors.
I walked into my office in Chicago where I was Director of e-Business Strategy for a Fortune 200 that sustained the third-highest employee casualties in the WTC. By mid-morning I was part of a phone call with…Read More

– A Yamaha Synth 009 or something — I bought it 20 years ago for the nice semi-weighted key feel and having 88 keys
– A Roaland U20 rack mount from back in the day
– An Emu rack mount synth from back in the day
– A Nektar MIDI controller
– Two Tama acoustic drum kits, one maroon, one black

This site was largely created with a similar MO to the Blues Brothers Movie. We were on a mission and getting the band back together.
I can really use your feedback on how you think it’s going so far. I realize that it’s s a new site and everyone is just getting familiar with things — but what are your initial thoughts? I know that we have…Read More

I want to thank two major rock stars.
@cclarry — he’s literally the reason that the Cakewalk Deals subforum (it was just part of their Coffee House Forum, you couldn’t even find it easily; what Ashwin from BandLab calls “the legacy forums; used by an older demographic that BandLab doesn’t really care about) — exist, he’s the person that made…Read More

Can’t see the 6.5×14 Gretch Phosphorus Brass Snare but it’s there. Also, I have a 6.5×14 Black Beauty and a 6.5×14 Maple Snare.

Missig are the Shecter Jazz, Warwick Thumb BO and the 2nd String Ray.

Wow! that is truly a thing of beauty! Awesome!!!
Primary instrument bass here – that is about exactly the collection I would have collected myself if I wasn’t distracted by guitars, drums, keyboards, recording gear and software

I actually just sold my ’66 Strat and ’69 LP Deluxe this Summer because they were stupid valuable and I would have to climb out of my grave if my kids sold them at an estate sale for a pittance.
I still have:
90’s Gibson Tennessean (favorite- sounds like a 335)
90’s Takamine Classical (favorite) and easiest to play with arthritis
70’s…Read More2 Comments-
If I could play, I’d definitely want a Les Paul. My brother had a red one when I was a kid, and the first rock album I bought at 5 years old was Led Zeppelin III, which I still love. Jimmy Page cemented my love for the Les Paul. But I’m sure if I played guitar instead of drums that my back might not have agreed with the Les Paul choice.

LP was more fun to play. The Strat (at least mine) had real intonation problems that frustrated me. The LP was more playable (fretless wonder ™) BUT between the two you have the tone of that era covered pretty well.

I love it! They look awesome!!!!

The answer is yes, cool.
Love that song, one of Radioheads best

So is there a way to link up to YOUTUBE?
peter posted in the group Gear-aholics Unanimous
@thor told me that he wasn’t able to upload his gear photos to this GROUP, so I’m testing it out.

I just created a forum to help everyone to learn more about each other’s musical stories. Like what instruments you play, if you sing, what genres of music you play, etc. Just 7 questions — plus a bonus question — to getting to know each other a little better. Please come along and share a little about yourself. Just click this link to get…Read More

Okay, I just saw that my friend @thor — a talented musician who composes music for video games — posted a bunch of gear photos on his Facebook page earlier today. I added back the ability to upload photos and other images. I’m iffy about keeping that function when the site allows public registration, but for a group this size, it’s fine and we…Read More

A shout out to everyone who recently joined LinkedMusicians! I just saw @release, @mustakatu, @ralfrobert, @deeringamps in my feed. I realize that there’s a lot here. The Early Adopters Group is where we discuss things about the site, share our thoughts, ask questions. It’s meant to be the main meeting place for everyone before the site…Read More

So there’s a bunch of design issues on the site since a theme update and I re-activated an important plugin to the site. Nothing giant, but definitely things that need to get fixed ASAP. But overall, I feel like things are going well with the site. Just checking in with everyone. What are your thoughts? Please share, positive, or negative, what…Read More

I’m not complaining (spoiler: I’m complaining), but I share office space with my wife and have to listen to the same 80s songs every day from a streamed local radio station. Right now it’s Madonna’s “Lucky Star.” I’m pretty sure this is the stuff the FBI uses to get kidnappers and cultists hold up in buildings to force them out. A person can on…Read More

How did the Coffee House Forum come about? I originally created a Coffee House Forum prior to launching the site, but I deleted it. I didn’t think the Coffee House needed a forum. But the one that exists is really messed up formatting-wise.
Do users have the ability to create forums? @bapu did you create it? I’m not complaining, I’m just wonde…Read More

Great to see your Thor! I was hoping you’d show up soon! I’m not sure that I’ve told you the story that led to me creating this (for those reading this who are not Thorsten, he’s a long time friend of mine who is a musician / composer who does music for games who wasn’t part of Cakewalk Forums). Most of the people in the forum…Read More

I just updated the site’s theme and re-activated one of the most important plugins for the site in terms of look and feel as well as added functionality. But it also takes away some other functionality. I will probably be removing the ability to add photos, etc. as that would make my disk space swell, greatly increasing my space on the server (and…Read More

Just a reminder, if you find issues with the site, DO NOT REPORT IT HERE. I originally thought the EARLY ADOPTERS GROUP would be best for reporting that but have since realized that a subforum is a much better way for me and everyone else to keep track of any issues found with the site and keep track of my progress resolving those issues. It let’s…Read More

Just a reminder, if you find issues with the site, DO NOT REPORT IT HERE, this is supposed to be a place to chill. And I’m not chilling when you guys post stuff I have to fix here. 🙂 I originally thought the EARLY ADOPTERS GROUP would be best for that, but I’ve realized that a forum is the best fit for it, so I created a subforum and I made it…Read More

Here’s something quirky and annoying about this system that I cannot fix. Usernames cannot be changed — even more surprising, you can’t even change the case of them; so I created some in lower case (like my own username, my name Peter, but peter, and since decied to stick with all lowercase, then, I was about to run out the door and setup Jude…Read More

Thanks. I want to give that a like — but the system doesn’t allow it. I’m checking into it. I have a big update to do either tonight or tomorrow. But I think I’m probably better off tomorrow in case something goes wrong, because I’m beat.

Ty Peter. All this interaction I guess is helping seeing those little things we would like to improve about the site. Neat.
Interesting. I changed my name to Doug without any problem. You had entered me as doug.
