peter replied to the topic OFFICIAL LinkedMusicians Best Free Kontakt Instruments Updates Thread in the forum Sample Libraries & Plugin Instruments
I just added three Kontakt libraries to the Curated List of Best Free Kontakt Instruments. One instrument is a beautiful sounding reed pump organ. Another is a very Tron-ish, vintage synth recorded onto cassette that I absolutely love. The last is a very cinematic, drenched in reverb piano library.

Help me to name the official LinkedMusicians bear. Your suggestions are encouraged. No matter how terrible. (I have been bouncing name ideas off my wife and she says they’re all terrible, so now I feel like I need to make more and more terrible suggestions to make her laugh harder each time).
Please give it your best shot in the comments…Read More

Wait, you’re suggesting a composer whose first name is Bear? That’s mind-blowing! I’m not going to lie– I had to google that name. I’m concerned that he doesn’t have wide enough name recognition. Although I love the fact that his first name is Bear.
-
I’ve turned to ChatGPT and the ideas are as ridiculous as the ones that made my wife laugh. Here’s some examples:
Bearoncé
Teddy Crescendo – Builds up the cute and the volume.
Mezzobearte – A pun on mezzo-forte, meaning moderately loud.
Bachbearato – Inspired by bel canto and Bach, with a hint of class.
Furrmato -
ChatGPT had a bunch and I pieced them together for this one:
Shredward Van Flufflen
I love it, even though I was never a Van Halen fan. Because it’s funny. It’s ridiculous. But we need more suggestions. We’ve only begun this journey.
This is really a throwaway-suggestion. But depending on how big it is (I can’t really tell from the photo) ‘Ursa Major’ or ‘Ursa Minor’ (which could also indicate whether it likes ‘happy’ or ‘sad’ music).
-
Thanks for being part of this important mission for LinkedMusicians. Keep those name ideas coming. I feel we’re on the cusp of a breakthrough. It would be unbearable if we were to stop short of that. (No, puns are not beneath me; I fully embrace them).
-
I love that name @bluesdog. My concern is that it’s too close to Chuck Berry’s name that it would invite an action from Chuck Berry’s estate and Printify would likely reject it. So if we went with it, we would need to do a modification to make it more of a parody. Something like Churck Bearsly. But I absolutely love the name.
Bear names:
Beartok (play on Bartok, or just call him Bartok, or maybe Bela or Bela the Bear)
Bearoque or Bearoke (play on baroque)
Hugo (lots of musicians named Hugo, plus it looks like a Hugo)-
Linkey?
It would be a tie-in with the name of the community. Oh well, that’s all I have for today. Keep posting ideas! I’ll do the same.

I actually wasn’t even thinking of Link Wray — hahaha. I was more inspired by Homer Simpson and his stupid naming of things and animals, like Stompy the elephant. But if we added a last name, I’d want it to really add something to the mix, and while I loved the ChatGPT suggestion of Shredward Van Huffen (ift gave me around 100 other suggestions,…Read More

My kids are huge Star Wars fans. I felt kinda bad that this refers to them as nerds. But it’s all in fun. My kids know that I love them — and I also love Brubeck’s music — and Joe Morello was one of my favorite jazz drummers. I met and got to hang out with Buddy Rich and Louie Bellson, and never met Joe, but his drumming always connected with me.

Having over 40 (has it really been that long) years of experience I count it a great honor to be able to do what I love, playing and helping others with their music. Cakewalk products have been a driving force in my day-to-day production work and I am so grateful to be among so many other talented and gifted musicians here.
I am the president and owner of PraiseTracks which specializes in the area of Christian music production especially in the context of local church ministry and those called to serve in the music ministry. I have compiled a MIDI file library with almost 1,000 titles churches can utilize when there is a need for musicians.
I am always ready to help those who are looking for solutions or run into problems. If I do not know the answers, I love the satisfaction in the process of research and discovery.
You can also find some of my video reviews on my YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/praisetracks
Looking forward to the future and grateful to be here.
First thing that popped into my head was “McCreary” (he grew up here). Local paper did a story on him as an aspiring composer in High School. He certainly made it.
