Cakewalk is the only site I participate on
There's mostly great people here, I'm also grateful, thankful for the Forum Host's; their unpaid (voluntary) dedication and assistance. Forum Hosts are only trying to help and as we all know; humans are not perfect.
That said,
due to the openness of the software (forums).... forums are like magnets that attract drama-queens; vindictiveness, clash of egos and opinions, jealousy, personal snide remarks, the human spell and grammar commandos, the expectation that every human being is equally academically astute, the, the list is very long however {sigh}. Cakewalk is definitely one of the better forums period!. Nonetheless it only takes just one person to derail what was or could have been a great topic. It's no wonder the decision to add Forum Hosts helps somewhat; might spare the Baker's time having to sort out issues that forums are so typically infamous for (as explained above)!
I rather the whole day on a quiet beach reading a manual or any great books about audio and video techniques; anything that helps me learn more about the art of music, the technical side of music and the business, absolutely everything related to all that. So, no matter the decades of experience, I'm still learning something new, it's a continuum that won't end until I'm either 6 foot under or preferably reduced to ashes and scattered across the universe.
