From Best Service right now:

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?

Somehow your link messed with the […]

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.

So it was only for 72 hours? That’s about the shortest length for a deal I’ve seen. Even iZotope glitches last longer than that.😄

Hmm, I wonder if they’re onto the “deals” forum thing, where we’ll get threads like this. The freebie is gone, but the topic remains, and it’s “still a great deal.” Smart, i…

That’s one of my absolute favs too!

Like every other pop song, it’s really simple, of course. But, the chords with the melody that Brian Wilson came up with are pure magic.

As much as I’ve loved that song since I was a kid, I’ve never played it until this evening (for sentimental reasons, of course). I’d s…Read More

How about “ceased developing” rather than “discontinued?” Or maybe “discontinued development of?”

CbB still does get the occasional patch, and it’s still downloadable and free to use as long as you keep it validated. So far they haven’t gone back on the original pledge to keep it free to use.

Maybe…

Sweet. Pretty interesting cassette loops too.

I’ve long contemplated buying these in past sales for more than twice this price. My only hesitation is that they would have very limited use for me. Although, they would be great to just play around with. I was playing one of my favorite songs, “God Only Knows”…Read More

I remember when Hybrid 3, Vacuum Pro and others were a buckaroony when PB had their dollar deals.

Yep, I picked all of them up. Although I also remember when their installer caused a ton of Windows users, including me, to have to roll back Windows, and they didn’t fix the problem for more than half a year…Read More
