But what is everyone’s favorite Orange Tree Samples electric guitar library? Acoustic guitar library? Bass guitar library?

My opinion changes from week to week, but I use them on nearly every project, and today I was using Evolution Indie Electric Guitar, and Rock Standard on a track. It’s really hard to pick just one favorite, but I think…Read More

In honor of day 17, a truly great example of songwriting.

I think you might be disappointed with it since you are not really interested in the sampled chords, etc.  No up/down strums.  Loot Audio has an info page here with some library details.    I looked back and saw that I paid $7.50 to Loot and got a couple freebies to boot. I did a quick search and came acr…

Yeah I will keep on posting it here. Stuff needs time to grow and what works is just being consistant. It doesn’t matter if the response is slow in the beginning, it will come.

I do have everything on Soundcloud as well. https://soundcloud.com/fromhillrecords

Thanks, Nick! If you didn’t already n…Read More

@superabbit Maybe I’ll look up Adobe later, but I do know that they’ve been very successful at the subscription model, and that’s both with the professional, enterprise, and hobbyist markets. It’s pretty much the dream of every software developer, as you know.

I’m sure when anyone shares their bio like I did, it’s a huge turnoff! Mmm.. huge…Read More

Hello everyone, I just realized that this forum was set so that no one could comment. Sorry about that! You can now comment.

When BestService.com goes back online that Best Service, my guess it that they will likely have a special offer to incentivize customers to buy from them again, such as a special credit or discount code. Again, that’s just…Read More

Nice job @Bapu and company, as always! Cool harmonies, tight playing. You always deliver top-notch stuff!

I love the Latin flavor! I love the rhythm! It’s also cool to see all of the gear listed. Nice job, Brian!!!

Also, @soulful keys, welcome to the forum! I’d love to know how you found LinkedMusicians. Were you researching Cakewalk Sonar and found this thread and registered, was it something else? It’s also valuable to learn how people found our community.

I’m the guy who started this place, but don’t worry, you never have to agree with me! My kids don’t…Read More

I don’t think BandLab was ever concerned with marketing or selling this as a separate product, hence no perpetual license. It’s all about completing their BandLab ecosystem so a user can now do everything, from creating to distribution, through them with just one payment. They’ve never pushed it as a…

This may belong under “free” but I wasn’t sure.  An email isn’t much of an ask.  I try not to lose perspective that a lot of free stuff is really a data trade.  Especially Google, in my case, but they have my number(s)

I think it makes sense here. I created the free forum for DAWs, sample libraries,…Read More

I have a couple of this developer’s Kontakt libraries and really like them. Thanks for posting this! It sounds lovely.

Another AI summary of research on the DAW market:

Evidence from user forums, industry discussions, and market share estimates indicates that Cakewalk Sonar is struggling to maintain relevance and market penetration compared to leading DAWs.

Market Share: Cakewalk’s market share is estimated to be in the 2–4% range, which is significantly lower t…Read More
