I still ask newbie questions now & then. Does that help?
Very helpful, thanks! I do it too, because almost every time I do a project I feel like a beginner.
I've thought about this a bit, and in my opinion there's very little incentive for Bandlab to bother with a Bandlab version of this forum. There's a high ratio of electronics geeks here, as well as old-school recording artists, experienced musicians who know music theory or at least understand song structure, who are producing professional-level recordings and need support delving into this very deep and complex program. The typical Bandlab user is operating, shall we say, in a completely different universe, and probably doesn't need the power of SONAR to do what they're doing, and probably thinks it's too complicated anyway. I suppose Bandlab thinks that in time a bunch of those users will find a use for SONAR's power and depth, and some will migrate toward it, but -- my opinion only -- the reality is that they would overwhelmingly prefer an app that runs on Android, and some rudimentary tools for making beats. Why would they need a forum like this?
Making SONAR free and creating a "social music" network -- these are brave experiments, and I hope some good comes from them. But based on my five or six lengthy visits to bandlab.com, I feel completely disoriented over there, and I bet the regulars there would feel the same way here if they could get in. All of which goes to say a new forum by Bandlab that is in any way similar to this one is a pretty long shot.
