Still loooove this juan.
Steven Wilson of course.

This definitely interests me. I’ve been a huge prog rock fan since my childhood and I really enjoy Steven’s music with Porcupine Tree and solo.

Do you this, @fleer ? If you do, what do you like most about it?

Google AI overviews current take on Best Service:

“Information indicates that Best Service GmbH, a German company specializing in virtual instruments and sound libraries, is likely experiencing difficulties or may have ceased operations…”

Upgrade to Beatmaker 3 from any version of Beatmaker for $19 US. Other upgrade deals and bundle deals are available.

For those not from the digital / e-commerce world. the average time an e-commerce or high-traffic website site will go offline for major maintenance ranges from 15 minutes to 60 minutes. The worst you’ll see is a few hours. An e-commerce business’ site going down for an entire day, let alone 5 days, is a giant red flag. Add to that, communications…Read More

I generally am not a fan of influencer “reviews” and that is one of my motivations for creating this community— to remove the influence of compensated parties and developer contractors going undercover to pose as regular community members (a practice the developer community is well aware of that repeatedly occurs at VI-Control with certain d…Read More

@atu First, as this is your first post here, welcome to LinkedMusicians. Second, where did you see this review? Can you share a link?

After seeing your post, I ran a search, and, after that didn’t yield any journalist (non-influencer/non-compensated) reviews, or then looked at a couple of influencer “reviews,” but didn’t find anyone who had that…Read More

This is really weird. The domain is indeed for sale through Sedo.

Not sure if this has always been, but 3 of their products can be purchased on Thomann.

I just received a generic response from Best Service on Facebook. It’s literally the cut-and-paste copy from their website about maintenance. Consequently, it doesn’t inspire confidence that the company is okay. However, I’m at least glad someone responded. I replied, asking when they could project their site will again be operational. I’ll update…Read More

I don’t get it. From the range of products they offered, I would have thought they were doing reasonably well – it’s not like they seemed like a small/start up company offering a limited range of products.

I should have noted that Best Service has went dark in social media also. I had posted on their Facebook page and someone else posted a day before me. No responses. They don’t use their Twitter account, but they did post on Facebook and YouTube. They had one auto scheduled Facebook post about a sale, clearly no one manually put it up, as rhe links…Read More

Strange. A Whois lookup on the domain says the domain bestservice.com is for sale for $25k. (??)

Which service and does it list the party selling the domain?

Oops! Thanks for catching that, @patrickwichrowski ! I just fixed it, thanks to your help.

That seems like quite a bit of speculation.

While it is entirely possible, it’s also equally plausible they’ve either had some significant IT outage, or ransomware take down a core system.

Given they have a hardware upgrade notification on their website, it would’ve been just as easy for them to have…

Great cover Peter, really nice performance and production! 😎👍🎶🎶🎶🎶

Thanks much, Ross!

As usual, I always struggle with vocals. I played my first take on the lead vocal to my son, realizing it wasn’t very good, even for me, and I sang a little bit of the song up an octave, and he told me that sounded…Read More

Third day that BestService.com is down. This looks a lot like the company went under. I sent the contact I have an email this morning, but several hours later, and it’s now around 1PM in Germany, where they’re located, I don’t have a response. This looks a lot like the company went under. I’ll report back when more is known.
