Cool @thesteven– Thanks!  I am especially attracted to the DIY stuff.  My Dad and I built my first guitar amp about 1971 (Heathkit).  Also nearly 50 years as a ham radio guy, so I built a lot of gadgets over that time.  I still have a “Kent” branded solid body that I Frankensteined in High School with custom switches to phase the pickups to mak…Read More

@jude77, I would love doing a Zoom group. We can even do a special forum dedicated to it if we can find enough people interested. I’m so tied up from working on the site, I would love it if someone else could take the lead. But I can do things to h…

@thesteven The one place where I see $99 mentioned is referencing the promo pricing (Bandlab has been very sloppy about updating the pricing at various pages of their website, and it is inconsistent with the current — and even the last — promotions.  Below is from the page that shows the current promotional pricing for the first year — that…Read More

I checked the FAQs at the Bandlab website and it appears that the company has lowered its annual rate from $179 per year to $149.50. It’s unclear if that’s some temporary renewal offer or not. @thesteven Where did you see $99 for subsequent yea…

This is what their current promo rate states:

I listened to all of this (and occasionally looked at the video), as I was working today and found it very interesting. Anyone else?

I realize this is total audio nerd stuff, but I suspect that I’m not alone in finding it of interest. I bet @thesteven, @lamia6 and @gregjazz would enjoy this — and probably a bunch more. But especially software…Read More

Thanks for the suggestion, @thesteven. I know that I’ve installed all of Polyverse’s free effects plugins, but I don’t think I’ve really spent any time with them. I will be sure to do that in the near future.

On a related note, I took your recommendation for Filtron and added it to the LinkedMusicians’ list of Best Free Effects Plugins. If you…Read More

@thesteven So you’re aware, I installed an update for the plugin that does automoderation recently, and it keeps holding a bunch of posts up — funny enough, including my own LinkedMusicians posts! I have been trying to figure it out and made some adjustments, but it’s still catching stuff that it shouldn’t. So, please accept my apologies for it…Read More

Already downloaded! I haven’t gotten to deep into it yet, but I really like what they are doing.

Yeah, if you check out my lists of recommended freebies, you can see that I recommend A LOT of their competitors. So, for the freebies, if you’re doing rock, jazz, R&B, or pop, I’d strongly recommend the f…Read More

And that’s the right answer, @thesteven. It was my personal code, as you see I didn’t jump on it, decided to share instead. Works well for those who already thoroughly tested it, but since it’s an intro price I don’t think anyone had enough time to do so.

@thesteven Sorry for the delay on your post. The moderation software auto moderates posts that have certain characteristics — like 3 or more links (I thought I reset it for more than that; I’ll  double  check that after this post) and some other characteristics — common with spam posts. Anyhow, I just wanted to let you know why the post di…Read More

Great to see you, @thesteven.
Here’s hoping our MC @lawajava hosts another of his gettogethers. Or maybe @bapu will?

@Fleer Is that something I can facilitate here on the site through chat functionality or maybe a Discord Server? Let me know. I do want this community to go beyond just sharing d…Read More

@thesteven I think a kind of therapy is a big piece of it for me too. I’ve been playing piano since age 3, so it became a place I went to express myself ever since then, regardless whether I was a kid, a working musician, or a dad who still wants to rock!
