Ah, okay. From the thread at VI-Control where Best Service is posting –where the crowd quickly went toxic and people started arguing with each other  —  Best Service’s email is not working. Of course, that’s one more reason they should have been communicating in social media. I’m not looking to castigate them for this, but I just hope (1) t…Read More

I sent an email with this message in it to their affiliate manager on June 13, 2025. He has never responded:

“An e-commerce site going down for one day is concerning; three days, it looks as if you’ve gone out of business. Especially with the lack of communication.

Can you tell me what is going on? My community is asking questions.”

I haven’t seen any rumors posted here, only questions and speculation.

A LOT of people have personal stakes in the continued existence of Best Service.

For starters, it is a chilling reminder that all of these license validations that require a handshake with a server depend on that server being a…

Rumors or not, speculation or not, the silence will be filled with something as people are concerned for their financial investments. And that concern increases more and more as the time passes.

Good communication builds trust with the customers and gives them assurance that everything is under…

A malicious attack is one interpretation – there’ve been enough making the news recently that it wouldn’t be too surprising.

But all it says is that it’s currently unavailable due to a technical incident and that data security is a top priority. For all we know, this could mean they recently migrated their system to a new one, got a cyber…Read More

@skell Thanks for the update, Sean, and welcome to LinkedMusicians!

While the updated messages raise new questions (have they been hacked and data has been compromised? Otherwise, why are they talking about data security????), it at least shows that they’re there. So I’m going to take it as encouragement.

FTR, I am cheering for these guys. But…Read More

@peter only @bapu is legend . We should make his jokes pdf

You should give it a try! If you like playing around in AI, I’m sure you could pull something off. It would probably only be amusing to us (this community). But that works for me!

What do you think @satya? While I realize it’s an AI job, I thought the cover art looked great, so I downloaded it, hoping to get a laugh or two. Unfortunately, this is pretty much the state of AI humor. F-. But I like the vibe of the cartoon.

Point taken Peter 🙂  I am aware that these guys are getting a cut from those codes, BUT 10% off to me is still… 10% off 🙂  NI still might put out a better direct offer in the last week.  Best Service too, if they can resurrect in time!

I think this is the year I grab the Komplete Ultimate 15. As much as I’m…Read More

Sample developer Chris Hein, who, I beleive has libraries released through Best Service, just posted a message about Best Service: “From all I know, I just can say: don’t panic, they will be back.”

It’s at least good to hear from someone. At minimum, this is colossal mismanagement of a crisis. Of course, I realize that Best Service is a small…Read More

I love the quieter Wilson songs, like The Watchmaker, Perfect Life, and Stars Die.
The library is quite heavily mangled, but I just adore the link with Steven Wilson. Actually, this lib brought me to him.

As a former drummer (I can barely play for an entire song these days due my tendinitis, so recording is…Read More

Watching Cameron’s / Venus Theory’s promo video (shared above), I think this delay sounds very cool, and it’s definitely on my wish list.

@darkcapricorn Thanks for the clarification.  I am personally interested in the library, so if that’s indeed a problem, I definitely want to know.  If anyone here owns this library, I’d love to know their experience.

BTW, when I say welcome, I’m the guy who started this place, so I feel it’s my official duty to say that when I see it’s s…Read More
