Anderton Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Major thanks to Dave and Jim for keeping these forums alive, Future Music for giving them the keys to the car, and for the invitation to return to these digs! The nature of forums has changed since SSS started 24 years ago, but the Keyboard Corner proves the forum paradigm is far from dead. Sure, Facebook has its place...however, forums are repositories of discussions and knowledge that Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram can't match. The existence of other formats also means that forums can do what they do best. Right now I'm very busy prepping my seminars for Sweetwater's GearFest, so this is kind of an awkward time for me to start topics and seed some discussions. But that doesn't stop you!

Anderton Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 I'm very excited by Dave's attitude about these forums. We've already discussed some ideas I've been wanting to implement since...well, since I was here last, and he thinks they're doable. But I'd be happy just to start with interesting discussions about interesting topics.

Jim Alfredson Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Awesome! Great to have this place back. See you at GearFest, Mr. Anderton. We met (extremely briefly) at NAMM this year.

Joe Muscara Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I wasn"t active here when SSS was active, nor was I ever very active on HC, so can someone tell me what this place is about?

Is it just all things Anderton or something more specific? (I"m sure it will be cool, just wondering what kind of cool. ) It's like a bar, with a bunch of really cool people hanging out, and talking about all kinds of things involving sound, studio, and stage. Make yourself at home! The pool is just left of the cabanas as you walk around the left side of the bar. There should be towels there, if not, just let me know. (When you're finished, we'd really appreciate it if you put the towels in the hamper that's next to the water slide.) Also, remember that Sound, Studio, and Stage is now pet-friendly! Well, with one exception. Welcome!!

Greg Mein Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Well, I've been to the forum here a number of times over the years mostly to discuss keyboards. I'd heard that SSS had been here before but I don't recall being aware of it at the time, perhaps it was even before I was signed up.

I'd heard that SSS had been here before but I don't recall being aware of it at the time, perhaps it was even before I was signed up. Short version: SSS started on AOL in the mid-90s (I was one of the members!); then, when AOL's braintrust decided it didn't want forums any more, this site was created in 1999/2000 - spearheaded by Craig - by the group that owned a bunch of magazines (CMP) to host SSS and a bunch of other new forums created for this purpose. Their mags ( Keyboard, Guitar Player, Bass Player, Surround Professional and EQ) all got forums, as did a few luminaries like George Massenburg and Roger Nichols (see MPN ARCHIVES). Craig picked me to run Keyboard's forum, which I still do. SSS moved to HC in 2005. Long story there...a lot of it had to do with the fact that CMP really had no idea what they had here. Bottom line: without Craig, this entire site/these communities would probably not exist. We could not be happier to have him back home. dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Affiliations: Cloud Microphones • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, thanks Craig for changing my life. When I started becoming active on KC around 2008, it allowed me to do things I don't think I would have considered if it weren't from what I learned from KC and the fine people there. I don't know if I would have a music nor a music-related career at all if it weren't for KC. On top of that, I've made friends and connections and had experiences that definitely would not have happened if it weren't for meeting people on KC. So to the guy who got it all started, I say thank you. Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!
