Not specifically a deal but a wonderful sounding instrument. I was a bit disappointed with their previous 3 Duduks release but this is astonishing and is tempting me very much. The duduk is my very favourite instrument. $50 – haven’t checked the £ price yetNow, the CEO of 8Dio / SoundPaint once described me to one…Read More

On the “other” site Deals forum, we learned Alicia Keys (piano) was going for $10 at Plugin Boutique.If you have it, Komplete Standard is only $200 (Kontakt 8, Massive X, Guitar Rig 7 Pro and Battery alone are so worth it).

If you noticed that the Forums home page has less forums and subforums, last night I removed forums that hadn’t been active in 3 or more weeks from view. Don’t worry, they still exist, and if you have a link, you can still see them. They’re just hidden. I did this because we’re now focused on growing the community and frankly, people are less…Read More

Considering the popularity of Native Instruments and their Komplete bundle with our community, I’m going to sticky this post.

As always, if anyone can beat the price post it (so far, JRRShop comes the…Read More

It was at least a decade and a half ago when I became familiar with singer/songwriter Reid Jamieson. He’s an incredibly talented artist from Vancouver. He has one of the best voices I’ve ever heard in rock and he’s a very talented songwriter. I might have learned of him through Wilco, as they are huge fans, and some band members worked with him…Read More

Just got round to listening as have been back on my old stomping ground of Bradford for a few days – nice!

We were there to see this Polish band for the first time after loving them since this album (with Nigel Kennedy on fiddle) was released https://youtu.be/FN5XrQoUiP0?si=ZIa4qdE8lU1nQuEd
Thanks kindly Peter! We sometimes feel like we are making music in a vacuum, shout outs like this keep us going 🙂

When I first heard Reid’s music, I bought every CD he had. I compared his talent to Jeff Buckley. It’s a testimony to how screwed up the industry is that he isn’t a name every rock musician knows. I try to do my part and tell others about him.

The Musio 1 perpetual license deal ends in 3 days. @goncalol found a surprisingly great deal at JRR shop (I wouldn’t have expected that they would discount so heavily on something that is already heavily discounted; I paid $149 US for Musio 1 and still think that was an amazingly great deal).We have affiliate relationships with Best Service and…Read More

Interesting – thanks Peter – I must admit I won’t even consider Sonar until they put out a perpetual license – that seems to be increasingly unlikely. I’m sticking with Cakewalk until it breaks! I can’t justify a monthly sub or a high purchase price for a perpetual licence and would likely look for cheaper…Favorable Opinions on Superior Drummer 3
1. Sound Quality and Realism- Highly Realistic: Users consistently praise SD3 for its detailed, lifelike drum sounds and comprehensive sampling. The multi-mic, multi-articulation approach is considered the gold standard for realism.

I’m so sorry to see this news. Billy Joel has canceled all scheduled concert performances due to being diagnosed with a brain disorder that has led to “problems with hearing, vision and balance.”
Billy Joel has been one of my favorite singer/songwriters since I was a kid and my own kids have grown up hearing his music around the house and in…Read More

Through his career, critics continuously panned his music as schmaltz. I find he’s one of the greatest American pop songwriters of all time, up there with the best around the world (Lennon/McCartney, Paul Simon, Carole King…).

Totally agree – a young female friend of mine (who is an astonishing fiddle player) sang Piano Man when she was first branching out into singing and her version is sublime

One of my old musician friends I played with for years has a younger brother that plays drums and sax semi-professionally named Dan Webster. I’m listening in my headphones, very nice. You know, I am a huge fan of of a bunch of Irish folk rockers like Damien Rice and David Gray from their early days on. In Chicago, there’s a place called The Old…Read More
