@yellow_eyez @Gravitas btw, I didn't imply that those names in the list were still available. But yes, ".audio" is indeed a domain!

In that case, what are we doing here?!
7 systems just nailed it

Something.audio man

ABforum.audio (if u wanna keep some of the ABF in the name)

production.audio

iosforum.audio (despite it being universal it’s still primarily rooted in iOS)

Anyway 7 systems got the domain idea for sure 100%

Only decision is what to put before the audio

Niiiiiice call 7 systems

That’s not bad man - simple and consistent

GeoTony

Surely that’s audio.xxx ?
For people who sit around in their audio buffs

That would be in the Google site description

But you bring up a good point - maybe keeping it general would be best

I really do like 7 systems forum.audio to start with but I feel if Michael said production.audio or productionforum.audio we know it’s a forum for music production just from the title

So good call on your own idea NeuM it’s good when people can be positively self critical

(@GeoTony good play on the play on words)

GlassTappers.audio is available, a few others too but .com forwards to something odd

Having just speed read through several pages, the ones that resonated for me were the tapping glass/black glass names. I’m not awash with suggestions, but one that’s just popped into my head is maybe just use an abbreviation of the old name, eg ABforums. I have no idea if that name is in use anywhere, though, it’s just a thought. It would show some continuity, but it’s not indicative of our purpose here.

The black glass one is evocative of the whole ‘through a glass darkly’ thing, which is very cool

I thought it evoked the idea of a modern instrument category, or something like that. Blackglass musicians

SevenSystems

I like the idea of domain names being actual sentences or at least complete phrases, so "touched.audio" (i.e., Touched Audio!) would resonate 🤪 with me!

NoiseHorse

So the reason for changing the forum name is because the app with the same name will be owned by other people, is that correct? Can there not be some agreement made between parties that permit the name to continue? I honestly think changing the name of a site that has grown to the stature it has through grassroots means entirely will delude and lessen the grassroots impact that this forum has enjoyed.
I believe the forum name Audiobus has redefined itself over the years to mean more than one app, the bus is a platform for communication first and an iOS music app second…
Like Sunlight.com or BlueSkies.com or Apple.com for that matter.

ahh yah, keyboard is a bridge too far, but a mouse on the belly while laying on the couch with an ipad hovering overhead via gooseneck stand is good eating.

I like “Mobile Music Community “

You might want to avoid names with “touch” in the title in case it attracts the wrong kind of attention…

Maybe I'm being a bit of a prude here but references to touching or fingering can come across a bit unprofessional IMO
