matt Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Curious what other sites you guys use as resources. Forums, chat rooms, facebook groups? Obviously gearslutz though I find the size a bit unwieldy at times. https://vi-control.net is a good site for virtual instruments. They also have a discord server where a few of us Sonar/Bandlab/Cakewalk users hang out: https://discord.gg/kntDCen What else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdiemer Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I used to frequent Northern Sounds, but can't post there anynore for some reason. It's turned into a small club for Garritan users anyway and is probably not long for this world. Also used to hang out on the Ning Composers Forum, which has become so sanitized it is totally boring. Mostly notation-oriented folks. It was exciting when they tolerated some naughtiness, but the new owner has squelched that. I feel the need for a place that lets you let your hair down a bit. Been thinking about gearslutz, may do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Since I write aftermarket style 'disks' and fake 'disks' for Band-in-a-Box, I frequent the PG Music/Band-in-a-Box forum daily http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?lang=english Although I play 7 instruments (8 if you count voice) sax is my primary instrument so Ialso go to Sax On The Web a lot https://forum.saxontheweb.net/forum.php Wind Synthesizer is a spin-off from sax so I go here a few times a week http://www.patchmanmusic.com/forum Harmony Central is another stop for me https://www.harmonycentral.com/forum/ Since I bought my Parker guitars, I hardly play my Gibson or Epiphone anymore, but after years of frequenting the Gibson forum, I have a lot of on-line friends there so I still go, mostly to post in the 'lounge' area http://forum.gibson.com/ Parker guitars went out of business and the forum isn't very active, but I still stop by once or twice a week http://forums.parkerguitars.com/index.php?action=login I used to go to a few Facebook pages, but I don't like the way they do business so I quit and deleted my data. If I need help on Carvin, Yamaha, Roland, MOTU, Ketron, or any other gear I own, I'll go to their forums until my problem is solved, but I don't frequent them. That about does it for me. Notes Edited January 6, 2019 by Notes_Norton I'm learning how to make links in this new forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fogle Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I use my Zoom MRS-8 digital recorder for much of my infrequent recording needs so I visit the Zoom forum, http://zoomforum.us/ Another favorite to learn about mixing is https://mix-challenge.com/ I also visit the Band-in-a-Box forum daily and lurk in the beyondmydaw forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Thanks for that link. Lately I've been interested in making spacey type videos for my music and I see there's some discussion at that site about software I could try. Gonna check it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiya Bjorn, I look forward to hearing you do some spacey stuff, and when you do, join up there and post a link. I am not going to be active in the songs forum here as, at this moment in time, I am not using any Bandlab software. cheers, andy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
