Members Vito Corleone Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 Can't argue with that. Easily the worst of the dozen or so forums I frequent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sventvkg Posted October 21, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 Can't argue with that. Easily the worst of the dozen or so forums I frequent. I go to Gearpage and Gearsluts for music related but have yet to find a replacement for Harmony Central. Any insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 If I knew of another forum for gigging musicians, I'd be there instead of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StratGuy22 Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 Yup. It used to be so busy here. They need to change the tag line from the #1 forum for musicians. It's just no longer the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Opus Antics Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 I've been thinking this for some time. It used to be so vibrant here and I learned so much. Now...you get 2-4 posts a day. Not worth checking but once a day. Same 4 topics will languish for a bit and then someone will post something new. Posts will drib and drab in on that one for a bit. Repeat. I wish I knew of another forum that is like what Harmony Central used to be. Haven't found it yet. So I still hang around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Outkaster Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 I remember this forum from about 2001 till 2010 being huge. Even the keyboard and samplers section was so busy, they all went to music players forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GtrGeorge! Posted October 22, 2014 Members Share Posted October 22, 2014 Yeah, it was a great place. I loved the reviews..they had so many!!!! They would go back years. I even added a few. They were very helpful..The whole "Genre played" "Years experience"..all that made the info soooo helpful. Now its just so limited, So much less. What Happened? Who ruinedit? And will they ever recover all that treasure-trove of data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone doing what we used to do here but on Facebook?..maybe we're just old and outta touch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Outkaster Posted October 22, 2014 Members Share Posted October 22, 2014 Well I stayed away from Keyboard Korner music player and started posting two weeks ago after a six month layoff. I just couldn’t take some of the posters. Some of them got banned but it still is big click over there but with that they still have a lot of the best players posting. I started posting here on the synth sampler forum again to see if I could generate some activity just because it’s been so dead. Facebook groups don’t do it for me, I just don’t think the model is that great for the kind of stuff we talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is some truth to Facebook groups replacing forums (which replaced usenet....although I am still on all of them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC was once the biggest if not one of the biggest music forums in the world. Now it's dead. I'm pissed about it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I wonder if that has anything to do with all my posts disappearing and getting demoted to rookie. I over the years posted a few thousand at the least and was the original moderator when the need came around for the recording forum. Now 13 years later I have like 120 posts? I know I wasnt active but wth happened here? Did they just dump a bunch of data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wasjamieb Posted October 26, 2014 Members Share Posted October 26, 2014 I have been a member since 2001. (Lost my original "jamieb" name during one of the "upgrades".) While I haven't posted a lot, I have read and learned a lot. When I joined, the forum was so busy that I had trouble keeping up with all the threads. No such problem now. I actually emailed support and told them that they have "fixed" this forum until they broke it. I also visited other forums, but this is the one that I considered "home base". Really wish it could get back to the way it used to be. Even it it meant David and Wade going at it tooth-and-nail. jamieb +++++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sventvkg Posted October 30, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2014 well than I guess it's just over for live music...most people truthfully don't care and the overwhelming majority of bands suck so badly on the local level that I can totally understand why...Most of the really skilled and talented musicians are either retired or doing private events now and I'm seeing a plethora of former Science teachers who are now retired and playing music full time...They are mediocre AT BEST...Alas...What does it even matter anymore. Society has changed to such a degree that what we do is looked upon marginally at best anyway these days...Such is life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome..A Good friend of mine is finishing her Masters and will be getting a job for about 100K a year as a Mining or Petroleum industry Geologist..She went RIGHT for a field that's in demand and pays:) She's 44 and needs to put in 20 good high paying years!! I'm sure you have a similar plan and good for you! I'm moving forward on my Private Events entertainment business plan and we're leaving Nashville for the Orlando area on the 24th. In fact I'm heading down Monday to get us a house to rent. Moving on bro:) Stay well and don't be a stranger dude. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
