Hey all, I just wanted to let you know that the Blue Checkmarks are back. Somehow they won’t appear on profiles, but they appear on Forum and Groups / Walls posts. I’m giving them out to everyone who is a part of the Early Adopters Group, so when registration goes public, we will always be able to easily identify who was part of this site fro…Read More

I just registered @satya ! pretty, pretty, pretty nice! It’s so good to see so many people we got to know and appreciate from the Cakewalk Forums. It’s like a reunion!

JD Souther, Singer-Songwriter Behind Hits for the Eagles, Dies at 78🤘
JD Souther, a singer-songwriter known for writing hits for the Eagles that included “Best of My Love” and “New Kid in Town,” has died, his longtime friend and veteran PR executive Larry Solters told TheWrap. Souther, who died in his sleep at his New Mexico home, was 78 years…Read More3 Comments
I saw him about two years ago and was fortunate enough to get his set list from the stage where he left it (I was in the front row) He came out after and signed albums/CDs he was selling and was very gracius. He was scheduled to tour this fall with Karla Bonoff.

Karla Bonoff, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.

This may come as a surprise. Although probably not to my real life friends or people who know me professionally.
BandLab’s social media manager and I have been having a series of conversations over several weeks and I’ve shared what I’m doing here and the negative impact one ill tempered and out of control employee has had on their brand — eve…Read More

I personnaly miss the old days of the Cakewalk forum. I truly enjoyed participating and helping tecnically when I could. I am sad not being part of the energy that made the Cakewakl experience for 5 years. Interacting with the devs was great. They are very competent and responded in the best way possible when bugs and new ideas were submitted.

I still like the CW forum, don’t get me wrong Banning you was stupid, but look what happened
-
BTW deleting all of pwalpwal’s posts was very cruel☹️
-
@oldjoad Did BandLab do that or did you misunderstand what I did this morning? I’ve made several posts at the site — including a side wide notification for people to post in the private thread for two reasons (1) it keeps things more manageable for me to have things in a single place and not a bunch of threads, and (2) the issues thread is…Read More

Someone at bandlab deleted all pwalpwal’s posts. I’m not even gonna ask what you did this morning😎
-
@oldjoad Why did they do that? Was it an accident or intentional? It’s bizarre how BandLab operates. What’s up with billionaire trust fund kids and their businesses these days?
-
I think they did it because pwalpwal was standing up for you guys, it happened like the day after they kicked you guys out. They didn’t ban him but they deleted thousands of his post. a stern warning I guess.

@peter I am still getting my feet wet but the overall design and layout looks very nice and clean. Overall I think things are off to a great start.

I just want to give a shout out to the person who rejected my friend request.
Seriously. It takes some major kahones to turn down the site owner’s friend request and I actually made a joke about this exact situation to my son when I was building the site. I actually thought it would be a pretty rock and roll move!#FightThePower (Oh wait,…Read More

After re-installing the system (plugin) that gives us this functionality, I wanted to get everyone’s thoughts. Do you like using this better than the previous version of GROUPS? This provides for a lot more than the design, but I just wanted to check in with everyone before I make another purchase.

LinkedMusicians is getting better all the time. It will become the site to rule them all.
Thanks to Peter and Larsy!2 Comments-
Awwww, thanks Fleer. While I’ve been working on this site, Larry never missed a beat, posting as prolifically as he always has done in the past. Although now he just has friends around and not some weird, obsessed censor.
Agreed!!

It’s been a while since I’ve heard much in the way of feedback. So, what are your thoughts on the site?
Do you like the new, upgraded editor for posting on the forum? Are things going well? Can you find what you’re looking for easily? To those who just came to the site, have you stopped over at the Deals forum and said hello to cclarry? Let me…Read More

A heads up — it’s going to get weird for as much as the next hour, as I am going to remove this theme and replace it. It may make the GROUPS fairly difficult to use and the Forum a bit odd looking. After the site is publicly released, I won’t be doing these tests on the live site, but at this moment, it’s saving me a lot of time. Things should…Read More

Okay, I see that @gregjazz just joined the group. I’d love to some photos of that collection of gear! Of course, that might give away what sample libraries you’re working on next. But that could be fun… You could take a photo of a part of an instrument you’re recording and leave us to speculate on what it might be. Me personally, my dream would…Read More

I’ll see what I can do… My gear is very lop-sided, though, just based on the projects I’m working on. So while I have a lot of gear, I wouldn’t necessarily consider it well-rounded… 😛

The number of members in our community reads 70 on the home page — but it’s really 67. A developer has one account for testing and fixes and I have two accounts I use for testing. But we’re coming along and these are almost exclusively folks we’ve all gotten know and enjoy from the Cakewalk Forum. So yeah, we are continuing to get the band back together.

Welcome to Simeon AKA @praisetracks
Like many others, I enjoy watching Simeon’s YouTube videos, especially when he goes on little musical tangents — playing familiar classics. Because the man can really play! Then I purchase the same libraries and think to myself, “Wait… something’s different. Hold on, I know. It sounded awesome when Simeon…Read More1 Comment-
Peter,
I am so glad to be here.
I have been moving some furniture in and doing some decorating to the new place but from what I see so far, this is going to be a very wonderful place for all of us to meet and share our love for music and inspiring others.Joyfully yours,
Simeon

While I am maintaining two lists of free sample libraries that are linked to on the main site menu to the left of this post, I’m going to be creating threads of what I believe are the absolute best free sample libraries and VST instruments by instrument category. I call them “Peter’s Picks.” I’ve just posted the first one, focused on all types of…Read More

Wait, you don’t like Queen? Unfriended!
I kid, I kid. But Queen was awesome.
I became a Rush fan in HS and stayed one since.

I don’t know what it is with Queen, but I don’t really enjoy listening to their music for fun and pleasure. Strange, but that’s me.

Music is art. It’s subjective. I was just having a little fun with you and even more fun with Kiss fans. My tastes are pretty wide. My kids were shocked that I like some Rhianna and country songs and kid me about me.

Back in the day, REO Speedwagon and, for the most part, Van Halen. These bands were really popular when I was in HS. Add Kiss to the list a little earlier. Just plain terrible, IMO. I still won’t forget the day my closest cousin — who was like a brother — told me at around age 13, that he decided that Kiss was a better band than Zeppelin.…Read More

1, Hole: for some reason everyone was crazy about Hole and I just couldn’t get into it.
Their 1st Disk: Pretty on the Inside: was just awful even thought it was produced by Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth (a band I love)
And then the 2nd Disk: Live Though This: Came out and everyone went crazy for that, and I still didn’t like the band.
But when the 3rd…Read More-
I would side with you regarding Hole and Boston. While I always liked Boston, I think I took Brad Delp’s voice for granted and didn’t even realize how good his vocals were on those classic albums until many years later. Now, Longtime is playing in my head. That was huge when I was a kid, and I loved it and still do. I suppose this is driving me to…Read More

Total egomaniac with obvious anger management issues. Having worked as a drummer as a hired gun a lot, I’m familiar with working for ill tempered egomaniacs and have witnessed prima donna singers explode and throw a punch on stage, although never at me.

I agree. Do you remember when he was briefly with the RHCP and fans hated on him? I always felt bad for the guy.

He was great in the peppers, that could have been awesome if they would have given it more time. too bad that didn’t work out.
