A wall-related song. No, no, not that one! This one.

We really should embrace the whole Cakewalk Forum banning any references to LinkedMusicians while allowing people to post links to every KVR, Gearspace, VI Control — and a bunch of affiliate marketing links. I thought BandLab was out of Singapore. I guess they must have relocated to North Korea. It takes some truly awful decision-making to end up…Read More

I was talking with a friend and talked about LinkedMusicians. He asked for a clarification on what I meant by “it’s an online community of musicians.” I explained, it’s basically Facebook for musicians with forums focused on sharing deals, tutorials, documentaries, gear and music production. How would you describe it?

Very nice setup! I also can’t help but notice that a bunch of us are Rush fans. It seems to be one of our common threads. Plus — not me personally — but I think a lot of folks in the group are guitarists first and foremost.

DEEP QUESTION OF THE DAY If this was posted in the Cakewalk Forum and the moderator saw that you were using a non-Bandlab DAW would you be banned for their policy against referencing a competitor?

It’s actually Kontakt so it probably would have passed, but who knows? I’ll be honest, I have no idea what Cakewalk/Bandlab apps even look like. I’ve only used Logic, Luna and one or two others ever since I started. I was a member on the other forum for the discussions, that’s it. I’m sure there were a lot of us like that too. I think the…Read More

JD Souther, Singer-Songwriter Behind Hits for the Eagles, Dies at 78🤘
JD Souther, a singer-songwriter known for writing hits for the Eagles that included “Best of My Love” and “New Kid in Town,” has died, his longtime friend and veteran PR executive Larry Solters told TheWrap. Souther, who died in his sleep at his New Mexico home, was 78 years…Read More3 Comments-
Talented songwriters. I love a lot of different styles of music, and have loved The Eagles since I was s kid.
I saw him about two years ago and was fortunate enough to get his set list from the stage where he left it (I was in the front row) He came out after and signed albums/CDs he was selling and was very gracius. He was scheduled to tour this fall with Karla Bonoff.

Karla Bonoff, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.

Okay, I see that @gregjazz just joined the group. I’d love to some photos of that collection of gear! Of course, that might give away what sample libraries you’re working on next. But that could be fun… You could take a photo of a part of an instrument you’re recording and leave us to speculate on what it might be. Me personally, my dream would…Read More

I’ll see what I can do… My gear is very lop-sided, though, just based on the projects I’m working on. So while I have a lot of gear, I wouldn’t necessarily consider it well-rounded… 😛

Welcome to Simeon AKA @praisetracks
Like many others, I enjoy watching Simeon’s YouTube videos, especially when he goes on little musical tangents — playing familiar classics. Because the man can really play! Then I purchase the same libraries and think to myself, “Wait… something’s different. Hold on, I know. It sounded awesome when Simeon…Read More1 Comment
Peter,
I am so glad to be here.
I have been moving some furniture in and doing some decorating to the new place but from what I see so far, this is going to be a very wonderful place for all of us to meet and share our love for music and inspiring others.Joyfully yours,

While I am maintaining two lists of free sample libraries that are linked to on the main site menu to the left of this post, I’m going to be creating threads of what I believe are the absolute best free sample libraries and VST instruments by instrument category.

Wait, you don’t like Queen? Unfriended!
I kid, I kid. But Queen was awesome.
I became a Rush fan in HS and stayed one since.

I don’t know what it is with Queen, but I don’t really enjoy listening to their music for fun and pleasure. Strange, but that’s me.

Music is art. It’s subjective. I was just having a little fun with you and even more fun with Kiss fans. My tastes are pretty wide. My kids were shocked that I like some Rhianna and country songs and kid me about me.

Back in the day, REO Speedwagon and, for the most part, Van Halen. These bands were really popular when I was in HS. Add Kiss to the list a little earlier. Just plain terrible, IMO. I still won’t forget the day my closest cousin — who was like a brother — told me at around age 13, that he decided that Kiss was a better band than Zeppelin.…Read More

1, Hole: for some reason everyone was crazy about Hole and I just couldn’t get into it.
Their 1st Disk: Pretty on the Inside: was just awful even thought it was produced by Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth (a band I love)
And then the 2nd Disk: Live Though This: Came out and everyone went crazy for that, and I still didn’t like the band.
But when the 3rd…Read More-
I would side with you regarding Hole and Boston. While I always liked Boston, I think I took Brad Delp’s voice for granted and didn’t even realize how good his vocals were on those classic albums until many years later. Now, Longtime is playing in my head. That was huge when I was a kid, and I loved it and still do. I suppose this is driving me to…Read More

Total egomaniac with obvious anger management issues. Having worked as a drummer as a hired gun a lot, I’m familiar with working for ill tempered egomaniacs and have witnessed prima donna singers explode and throw a punch on stage, although never at me.

I agree. Do you remember when he was briefly with the RHCP and fans hated on him? I always felt bad for the guy.

He was great in the peppers, that could have been awesome if they would have given it more time. too bad that didn’t work out.

I’m shocked Alice Cooper didn’t come up with that🤪
Live is an awesome band Throwing Copper rocks.
Stone Temple Pilots are one of my favorite bands, Interstate Love Song rules, too bad about Weiland.
Soul Asylum was pretty cool, Somebody to Shove was an okay song.🤘-
I did look up the bands and none of them have the original members. Live is only the original lead singer of the band, who doesn’t get along with his former bandmates, so he sued, is using the band name, and has a bunch of different musicians. Soul Asylum is also only the lead singer. STP the original musicians with a different lead singer who…Read More

Ross
Musician, Singer, Producer
Lifelong musician (I'm old now, lol!), home recording enthusiast for 25+ years (primarily Cakewalk/Sonar user). I started as a piano player as a kid, got into singing in my teens, played in a number of bands in L.A and Vegas in the 1980's (I grew up in Vegas). Did some analog recording in those early days, and got into digital/home based recording in the late 90's. Basically a hobbyist at this point, just having fun recreating songs from the soundtrack of my life, experimenting with new (to me) musical forms and genres, and lately collaborating with other musicians online. Looking forward to interacting with other passionate players and producers on this forum!
This should be a sticky post😎
