Digging up old threads is annoying.
Starting a new thread when there is there is an existing active thread that is days or hours old, you are lazy or blind (or maybe too excited to check).
Everyone knows how shit the rest of the internet is, but this forum has definitely changed over the years.
It is still relatively civil, but much personality is gone with all the great people who moved on with their lives.
It will take new members to bring the fun back, I think.
When the fun returns, hopefully all of us lurkers will join in again.
Ahoy @AndyPlankton !
Hope all is well with you and your kin.
When the meta verse figures out a way to enjoy a beer (or suitable other beverage) together online communication will sure get a lot easier. But if one of you turds gropes me, then it is on baby!
I don't fully understand the new thread/old thread debate. I'll gladly go along with whichever one is the accepted community norm. Which is what exactly?
I think the fun has probably gone with the wave of app innovation. Loopy is the most exciting thing at the moment, but not that much talk about it here, I believe. But, I agree, the forum these days feels dull… but for me it’s not so much the tech as the lack of crunchy off topic back and forth.
I don’t know who those “new members to replace the great old guys” will be… heck, I don’t even know who those old guys were…. Actually, you were the cool user I met when I first came aboard.
I think you also have to add in pandemic and political exhaustion. For most of us life isn’t as much fun as it was three years ago.
Still, there are many here, I believe, who still live up to that unknown standard: @Samu, @gravitas @iOSTRAKON @NoiseHorse @CapnWillie @Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr, @echoopera @Spidericemidas @McD, @richardyot @Svetlovska @JohnnyGoodyear @AndyPlankton @espiegel123 @Paulieworld @Gavinski @tahiche @jonmoore @Daveypoo @rs2000 @shinyisshiny @Poppadocrock @wim @GeoTony @Edward_Alexander @senhorlampada @Lady_App_titude @uncledave @onerez @lukesleepwalker @Pxlhg @jwmmakerofmusic @JudasZimmerman @mjcouche @JoyceRoadStudios @gusgranite @AudioGus @Stochastically @LFS… whew, I can’t go on… and many others (pls don’t be offended if I forgot to mention you, these characters are just emblematic!). I put them up with the best knowledgeable, cantankerous and generous denizens who may have roamed the antediluvian plains of ABF when iOS was young.
Even you are appearing now and then… so it can’t be all bad😉😎
This is definitely one of the most friendly and well-conducted internet forums I've encountered and I've been on the internet since 1992, when we had to shovel coal in the back to keep it working.
Not only is it a great place for musical help, inspiration, and creative cross-pollination, but also when people have shared their struggles, others seems to gather round with genuine openness and compassion and without trolling. Try being as open and vulnerable on many other forums ...
At the same time, if the OP feels we need to boost our tone a bit, I'd recommend Toneboosters
Honestly I don’t think it matters. Sometimes it’s useful to add to an existing thread, but sometimes an older thread is outdated and not as useful as a new one. I usually base whether or not to create a new one on the quality of older ones.
There is none. People have conflicting preferences.
When two threads on a new app or update pop up within minutes or hours it seems like a good idea to me to politely note it though, otherwise the cross-talk really gets hard to follow.
On the flip-side, I get thrown every time when I open a necro-thread and don't realize until reading a few pages of posts that they're years old. That can be annoying, but that's on me for not being observant. Someone did their due-diligence and used search, so they ended up resurrecting an old thread. I wouldn't do it that way, but they were just doing what they thought was best.
There's no best practice. I prefer just rolling with it and only pointing out alt threads when I think it would be helpful.
I wonder if it comes down to cat people vs. dog people. I'm a cat person, so the futility of trying to get anyone to act as you want them to is easy to accept.
Things tend to go in cycles.
Good and bad aspects of the forum will no doubt fade in and out over time.
Yes, but can we midi-map that and use our own LFO, or is it hard wired in the app?
Problems arise when the speeds and/or phases of the 'LFOs' are not even remotely in in sync
I'd kind of like to see new forum categories for "sound design" and "music theory".
That way people would know that a thread is about methods for producing sounds vs. techniques for constructing songs.
You can start a thread about sound design, but it's such a diverse and complex subject that one thread just can't do the subject justice.
This forum is awesome imo. I hope OP stays.
Re: zombie threads. I’ll admit I usually do a search and post in an existing thread. Maybe because I’ve been beaten down by years on other forums. I guess I’m also thinking about someone doing research here in the future that will be able see the big discussions about an app or concept in one thread. Also, It’s become almost automatic for me to look at the start date of any thread I click on when just browsing the recent topics but that could just be Stockholm Syndrome from the other forums!
This is a good point.
Me too, lol. I check here, appsliced.com and a couple others. It’s basically my permanent safari background, lol. Except when I clear safari web history.
Yep. I’ll see people post who are well aware they’re posting a duplicate thread, but they just don’t wanna wade through 50+ pages to find an answer to a simple question about an app. Which I totally understand.
Well put. There is a lot of overlapping information, and great stuff/info buried in this forum or cavern of posts. I don’t know the specifics but I bet most people, at least most of the time, do not go past the first page or 2 when visiting. The threads, unless they are constantly commented on, rapidly move down the line as new ones are created quickly and often. The list of threads changes very fast on this forum.
On the flip side… I will also say that information moves so fast that threads can sometimes be duplicated accidentally because they take place at a very similar time. I have done this on accident before. But only like 1 or 2 times. I personally hold back on creating a new thread, and never do so hastily. I only do so after checking and thinking… if 1. I can’t find an existing thread or relevant results after a few forum searches, 2. it’s new or pertinent information that deserves its own thread so people can see it. If it’s important enough a majority of members might not see the information if the comments are deep inside a thread, a thread they might never click on otherwise.
It has gotten a little cavalier with the thread creating, but something like that is very hard to mitigate. This thread is a good start, debating some forum etiquette, etc…
Is there a way to filter the forum search by comment amount, page amount, date or anything…? Maybe @Michael can add some advanced search and sort abilities? Obviously no rush good sir, when and if you have the time… I’m not even sure this is the answer. Could or would this help? I don’t know.
I like a Thread Title that sets up the content. For example, if it's a request for a solution try and indicate that with a question mark or use the words "request for". If it's a statement of fact then the lack of a question mark makes that clear,
I also do not like people that make lists of users:
Unless they include me. I'm sure you feel the same but the dozens of lurkers could give a hoot. Their here for the app advice and notice of sales, I suspect but how would we ever know. Maybe they come for the drama which surfaces so rarely it's hardly worth the effort to look for it.
"Advice" is always a form of criticism and sometimes is more negative than positive. Dispense it wisely. Creatives tend to post work they are somewhat comfortable with but then comes the feedback on the mix or the inevitable comparison to another creative which can be less than helpful if the creator doesn't love that other artists work.
So, that's all the advice I can dispense today... don't abuse advice like I do.
I agree with you, Andy. I do feel there’s a certain personality that really likes to police how other people express themselves. It seems to be very vocal at the moment. I much prefer a more freewheeling discussion. I find the mega threads about Loopy Pro and LK and Drambo to be completely soul crushing. (if I may be overdramatic.) > @LinearLineman said:
Real nice. You know that when you give out valentines, you give them to the WHOLE class, Michael.
I’ll be crying on the cloakroom until recess.
I missed you @ExAsperis99.
“whew, I can’t go on… and many others (pls don’t be offended if I forgot to mention you, these characters are just emblematic!).”
Yikes, I just got exhausted. @Stuntman_mike @Krupa @ervin @supadom @studs1966 and 50 more! you guys see what I mean? Too much winning!
I think you’re being tongue in cheek. But still, indeed, how could I miss our class contrarian! My apologies.
Man I hate those guys. Someone needs to shut them up!
haha
@LinearLineman is terrible at making lists!
Besides, I refuse to be part of any list that would have me anyway...
🤣
"The love you get is equal to the love you give."
Your biggest supporters when you post creative work will be the people you have supported when they posted work. This quid pro quo is just built into human nature. The people that tell you how to fix your mixes or why do screwed up will be the ones you tend to share "complete unvarnished honesty" with... in the form of "Not my type of thing, honestly, but it was short... thankfully."
Do unto others has really lost it's street Credit in the age of the free range internet hunting grounds.
This forum thankfully has few really dedicated trolls. If you piss someone off they can escalate and create
unneeded drama. If you feel that your settling scores with a comment... it might be wise to hold it a day and re-visit your intent and the consequences.
No apologies!
Completely tongue in cheek.
I find this forum deeply ridiculous and indispensable and wonderful. It's like a family.
You've lost me. It was just a joke. Hence the picture of the little face crying tears of laughter.
Edit. But thank you for highlighting what you think of me. I guess I know where I stand now.
>
One day I shall unleash the drafts…
Agreed.
This is the reason why there isn’t so much “excitement”
on the Forum or anywhere else for that matter.
It’s a little bit difficult to feel happy or excited or even content when
we’ve been bombarded for so long by pandemic woes,
politics and now the unmentionable near the Baltic’s.
The users, the devs, our families, our friends, people near and far,
we’re all feeling sheer exhaustion and emotional tiredness.
We’re avoiding political discussions because we simply don’t want to argue anymore.
It’s tiring and quite simply boring.
I feel honoured to have reached the honours list.
Do I need to make a speech or something? 🤩
Not the Drafts!
Yes, In a Youtube video extolling the virtues of this forum please and it's benevolent host @Michael and
his move to this new app funding model that will initially generate some outrage over owning it and NOT getting the new "update" without stepping up. I think you can expose this model and more long term developers that seek to dedicate their efforts to IOS (or desktop) for that matter will adopt this model too.
It's so logical that a developer needs to insure revenue over the long term and the best applications continue to pivot adding new features and patching as Apple continues to change the rules of the platforms we use.
I realize this is a big ask but that's the one thing you can count on from the forum... telling you how to do your job.
I could do but… I think you’ve explained it quite clearly. 😏
Here’s a still from a short film I’m doing.
I’m standing in Greenwich not to far away from the Royal Observatory.
I can see right across London.
Maybe that’ll be a good place for a monologue.
Anyway,…
My job?
Nah.
I’m an Artist.
