 Sites asking me to sign up for this or sign up for that. Pay for plays. Pay for airplay. Pay for promotion. Pay for advise. Everyone wants my money for the promise of exposure. It's one long con. And most importantly, it doesn't make me happy anymore.  

So I quit. 

This is the old "Picks and Axes" marketing strategy.   During the California Gold Rush it wasn't the gold minors that made the most money.  it was the ones selling the Picks and Axes.

Yep, Listen, Music is the only way I have made a living for 40+ years and I feel much the same. my time has come and gone and there are huge number of people putting out pretty decent music.  I'm refocusing and creating music that students can learn from.

Mark Knopfler - Brothers In Arms

Best use of geetar ever.  Great song. Makes the guitar cry and speak.

Any middle school orchestra teachers out there?   So here is a piece I did.  You can purchase it at  JW Pepper.  AI is crazy.  Not enough hours in the day now.  Rockin' my world!

Always superb.   I love how there's an Irish feel that ever so slightly touches the piece at the beginning of your melody.

Very Cool!  Nice mix also.  

So where are your AI images from? 

Nice motion.

I remember as a kid staying up 'til midnight (Chicago time) on Saturday nites just 'cause I loved the show's theme song.  If I was able to stay awake I could hear the other acts.  We had no way to record music or the TV so besides AM radio the only way to hear/see music was getting in front of a TV at just the right time.  It made going to church the next morning pretty ruff.  We did not have a turntable yet.

So I might have missed this.  People have been speculating about the Pop-up coming depending if you are online or not. My guess is that it's a timing issue. I was late to update to the final version so I'm not getting the Pop-up yet.  Not until the specified time after updating expires.

I just want to say thank you to every person who has come here and helped someone else solve their problem. I have come here for many years and there has always been someone who has had the solution to my issue. Thank you to those who don't have to be here but they are, people like scook who helped me in the middle of the night fix an issue so I could keep recording. Guys like Cactus Music Studios, John Vere and Shane_B. This forum and these people are like emergency room personnel there to help in a time of crisis, and if you are recording, and something goes wrong, that is a real crisis. I would rather my house burn down than not be able to get signal coming through a channel. So a huge thank you and hug today to everyone who has helped someone here. 🤗

Amen...

You've all heard him.  He has sung a million jingles and been a backup singer to many greats.  I think his biggest jingle was "Like a great neighbor State Farm Is there..."

To keep a theme going...I've had the opportunity to meet and work with Gary .  A great guy!

I'm really old 'cause the highlight of my day is coming back and reading this thread (fread)

This thread is kinda reminding me of how I kinda feel things are changing.  Seems things are way slower around here.  Have most people just moved on?, like to other platforms, not just DAWs, but to Discord, Facebook Sonar pages or other places?

I do owe a huge dept of gratitude to all the Old-timers here.  Even before I joined the Forum (i think 2007)  I was sneaking around it getting many answers. I have never been good at knowing answers or giving answers,  but when I had an issue I could always get great answers here.  As a self-employed musician I always worried about being my own IT guy,  but between Sweetwater and this forum I had the best tech department anyone could ask for.  I mean I KNOW when and how to use Bapu's Am...or a G7(+9) chord...or how to modulate keys...but I was very sketchy and uninterested in things like IP addresses and such.

So I hope the new Sonar is inspiring and this forum stays vibrant.   It certainly has served me well in the past.

A geetar player friend (we were in a band for 21 years)  use to say this...

Whiskey!  Check 1, 2 3, Bring me a Whiskey....

Many times a waitress would then begin looking for the person to give the whiskey too. Nice trick.

The bass player always said, "Can you give me a little more upper-mids"

I thought,  wow he's got some great ears.  But then he literally said that every time we did a sound check... and I realized he just liked saying upper-mids to  impress the sound guy and just like saying "Upper mids"

I wondering in anticipation if the big day is Jan. 1st 2024...

THANK YOU ....THANK YOU  ....  THANK YOU!!!!!

I'm not  a geetar player, (but I occasional play one on TV).  I know and hang with lots'o  geetar players.  Everyone of them regrets selling there stuff.  Not one has said, "Oh, I'm so glad I sold that vintage, rare guitar I  use to have."  I hear this one all the time..."sure wish I held on to that thing"

Don't sell it...

Ok so i won't mention that during Covid our dishwasher broke down.  Since I was making a lot of money when I had it first installed, my wife and I purchased a fancy-schmancy dishwasher.  So fancy-schmancy that no one in the greater Chicago area  knew how to fix it and with Covid no one would come out to look at it. 

So we washed are own dishes for 2 years.  (oh the humanity of it all).  Finally got it replaced with a moderately priced machine...way less than what Bitflipper paid for his sink.  But the thing was, there are a couple of other plumbing issues that I worry about and got estimates on fixing those things.  The estimates where right in line with what Bit spoke of.  So I think I'll just live with those issues until I have too...maybe when I sell the house.

ohh how I can relate....glad your dishes are serenaded. 

well I found it, but not really much to see.

I'm not saying that there has been a video of it on a popular video sharing platform for a month or so now and I'm not suggesting that people could easily look for that if they're really so desperate to see what it looks like.

Thread will get locked for certain if such a thing was shared.

Just google it.  Took me 5 seconds to find it.

Could you possibly not say what to google?

So I sent in my application.  Anyone actually have the Beta Sonar yet?

+1!

I still do not really get how to use Discord.  I just do not get it.  I guess I'm officially old.

That does sound like the last lead singer we had...only these guys in the video  are in tune.

I thought the exact same thing that everyone has said.

This new version of Sonar must be some unbelievably great DAW with it taking this long.

I'm guessing AI has a lot to do with the wait.  AI can help the Bakers write code, help all of us mix better...so I'm kinda really excited to see what comes next with Sonar(pun intended!)...
