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

There was a backslash in the URL that should have been a forward slash.  I tried to edit it.  Try it now?

I don’t see that now, still not right.

@linkedmusician Arrrrrgh, no matter what I try I cannot get the imaged link to soundcloud player here.

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

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?

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
