Larry Graham Alexander Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Can anyone please tell me what is the status of the original Garritan music forum website? I have been unable to access this site for a long time. Is it gone for good? I hope not. I would appreciate any information that you have. Thank you in advance. Larry Graham Alexander
haydn12 Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 It looks like the server went down a few weeks ago. It was down a couple weeks before that and then was up for a week or two and has been down since then. No idea if Northernsounds.com will ever come up again. Jim
Michael Vogel Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Scott posted upstairs just a few weeks back. Hadn’t seen him in ages. My point is, he still had his comprehensive signature full of links to his various media. Should be around. - off I go to find him - I’ll be back. There: that was quick. Scott R.. Garrigus in all his interwebby glory. http://www.garrigus.com/
JohnG Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Not Garrigus but Garritan, i.e. Northern Sounds. I've tried visiting it too, rather frequently, likewise with no joy.

Larry Graham Alexander The original forum was closed at the end of 2016: https://forums.makemusic.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3232&sid=4b48e688f0d11048b6110a23ff179ffe Which leads to this: https://makemusic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/topics See: https://makemusic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/200575788-Garritan-General-Discussion?sort_by=recent_activity and: https://makemusic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/200554377-Garritan-Feature-Requests?sort_by=recent_activity There isn't much recent activity though. Any help? Or am I talking about the wrong forum?
Larry Graham Alexander Posted December 30, 2019 Author Posted December 30, 2019 I was a contributing member of Northern Sounds (Garritan) since 2004. All of my original music compositions that I posted there are gone. What a sad, disappointing ending. Thank you for all of the information. Larry Graham Alexander
Michael Vogel Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Sorry for creating the confusion between Garritan and Garrigus. My bad.

Larry Graham Alexander 3 of my memories from NSS were the 30 + page of members boycotting Waves over their previous WUP. There was always the anti dongle threads where the biggest opponent of dongles was Eric Pershing of Spectrasonics. I copied one of his quotes. The last one was when they banned EW from their forums for giving Garry a hard time over wanting to create affordable libraries.
antler Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 Pity... there was an online orchestration tutorial/course on there
mdiemer Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) They were the first forum I ever joined, shortly after my very belated entry onto the stage of the internet (where I remain largely anonymous). So at least all of my early naivete is now forever hidden. Such as telling a guy there that he looked just like the composer Sibelius (I didn't know yet what avatars were. how embarrassing). I'm pretty sure they banned me for posting "A Boy Named Sue," in reference to my misinterpreting the gender of someone there, who had what appeared to be a purposefully confusing name. After awhile they wouldn't even allow me to email them to ask them what was up. I gave up on them at that point, figuring they were barely hanging on. Which apparently was true.
