Audiobus is going to a new home! Forum is staying

Perhaps the complete history of the forum isn’t known and does seem strange to some. I’m not going to recap it here as I wasn’t here from the start but going forward…we’re all here despite it being the Audiobus forum and I gather it’s not the most used app by many here (I have never used it).
Micheal allowed us all to discuss all mobile (and desktop) music and related apps. His money, his time, his forum, his gift to us.
Does it really matter if it’s called after another of his apps? He’s still decent enough to let us talk about the rest.
I still think it should be the glass tappers and knob twiddlers forum but I have an odd sense of humour.
I understand. Thanks for the background info. It’s not something I feel strongly about.
Must admit I hadn't really thought about the cost implications. Obviously I don't know the details of that. I was just thinking from a 'rational' point of view in terms of the name but if there are significant cost implications for Michael maybe that should, as you say, be the determining factor. It's just that the way the question was originally posed was open-ended and Michaal appeared to be actively looking for suggestions.
And a surprising amount of people were taken in by that devious double bluff 😉
Naturally, i don’t know the details about the costs involved either but i figure it has to cost more to have two websites rather than one!
By the way, Michael explains his decision for the name on page 8 of this thread.
Yeah I hadn't really caught up with the fact that it was a done deal - just that it was being suggested. I've bought a couple of web domains before and you're right that it's gonna cost more to run two site than one. I suppose the counter argument would be that a more representative name for this site may attract more traffic and therefore more revenue but I've just noticed for the first there don't appear to be any ads on this site so maybe there isn't any revenue from it. Anyway, having just read @Michael's post as suggested, it makes sense and I'm happy with whatever he's happy with.
Old Audiobus!
New Audio Loopy Bus!
Worth just pointing out - there are no ads here so no revenue - maybe in the early days Michael was able to make money from affiliate links? No idea, just speculation. Regardless, that would not have been possible after Apple’s closure of the affiliate program in 2017.It’s pretty kind of Michael that he’s kept it going all these years. Keeping this forum running likely has more downside than upside for him.
forum.atastypixel.com
Seriously. I think this is the best. loopypro.com is fine from a short-term marketing perspective, but I doubt Loopy Pro will be the one and only product @Michael puts out for life.
Audiob.us forum is a textbook worthy case study in brand name promotional success. The difficulty in figuring out how best to rebrand now is evidence of that.
How many people read "atastypixel" and had no idea what I'm referring to? If you did then I rest my case.
There absolutely should be some payback in marketing terms for this free, non-advertising cluttered service. (I hope anyone that has begrudged that just didn't think it through fully.) Until now, Michael, you haven't built your developer brand like you have your individual app brands. Maybe it's time to think in a bit broader terms.
Agreed, especially when done by committee.
Have you ever heard a group of musicians trying to decide upon a band name?
There's band politics and there's band politics.

* disclaimer. I have about a 99% track of being dead wrong about marketing decisions over the course of my business career.
Good point. There are other good points people have made too about the validity of going for a name that really represents this place, like Mobile Music Forum etc. There have been other good points made about how it might be good to bring Android users in here, if even just to tempt them over. Definitely worth having a long, nuanced and civil discussion about all this, for sure for sure!
Thanks @wim! Actually for the foreseeable future, Loopy Pro is it. I have enough plans for that app to last me at least 10 years, so it’s quite deliberate that I’m focusing on that instead of the more generic brand.
Not a bad name either. A tasty pixel references all digital products. Not just iPhones. Apps like Koala, and Cubasis are cross platform, and I really wanted a forum that Android users like myself to share topics.
I'm fascinated by the Audioroute protocol implemented by Android, and I'm sure a few developers would love a place to discuss about it.
In additon, I do love chiming in about raspberry pi stuff, and Arduino stuff, which in its own way relies on pixels to actually configure it.
Actually, can we vote? I personally would love A Tasty Pixel as the webpage. I'm also fine with Loopy Pro Forum, even if it's a subsection of the A Tasty Pixel page.
And also, if there's a small section that links to the Drambo Forum, that would be great as well. Those guys (or drambonauts as they like to call themselves), do insane work in the signal manipulation field.
It's such a cool brand name though. 😎
I don't think voting for something like this is appropriate.
Indeed! I’m still open to the possibility that we are wrong about forum.loopypro.com. I think a factor that the later comments may not have taken into consideration is the benefit that it will offer to Loopy Pro; both the user community and the brand itself. I’m terrible at self promotion, but I think this might be a good idea on that front, and I don’t think it would have any detrimental effect to the forum given that it’s currently the Audiobus forum anyway.
It’s an idea that I dismissed originally, hence the thread asking for suggestions on new names, but I was persuaded along the way.
Agreed @wim
Let It Bleep
Let It Beep
lololololol
got me in the first half not gonna lie
I haven’t read beyond the first three or four responses, but I like Mobile Music Society. It sounds old fashioned in a good way. It seems civilized, and perhaps will inspire us to be the same.
Thank you so much for the input everybody – I’m just gonna close this thread so people who have missed the major points in this thread which are buried in previous pages don’t continue to invest effort in proposing name suggestions as I think we have a decision!
