This site is ****ing lame. It would be nice if someone, like actually read the messages. **** this place!

I agree. This site sucks. This place must get about one access a week, for someone to ask a question, and then nobody ever even answers.

Some forums are much more active than others, that just how it is. All I do is try and provide a place where users can try to exchange ideas and asistance. As well Synth Zone always lists other alternate mailing lists and discussions so you can find the most active groups to connect up with.

A lot of times there is no response to a question simply because the question is gear specific. A multitude of people use software sequencers, but not everyone uses Cakewalk, Cubebase, Logic, Vision... This extends into hardware and every other realm of gear. There's too many different products and too many different models available for someone to know everything about every peice of equipment, that's the reason for manufacturer tech support, user groups and mailing lists. Also, nine times out of ten, if a person were to read the manual there would be no need for posting many questions anyway. Yeah, it would help if the manuals were written from a little less technical position, but the answers are there. However, manuals might not tell you how to use envelpoes to avoid stepping, but that's where sites like this excell.
Aside from the occasional (and expected) embellishing over who has what, people here try to answer questions with accuracy. Unlike folks at some sites, if we do not have the experience required to answer the question asked, we let the question pass on for someone who does have the answer, meaning, it may take a while before the question gets answered.
I happen like this site because of the lack of mindless chatter and, overtime, traffic here has gotten heavier. There is another site for postings like: "Everyone's age, do tell", "What kind of car do you drive, do tell", "How do you wake up in the morning?..". Give me a break! Considering topics like those, you tell me which is the better synthesizer, gear, and overall music related site. ....I'm done.

Actually I found it quite useful when i posted the Trinity OS upgrade topic and had 2 replies within 72hrs, both of which told me exactly what I wanted to know.

It's always easy to slag off other people's stuff, but what the **** (to degenerate into your use of expletives for a second - how old are you anyway?) are you doing to help musicians get the advice they need. My guess is that you are spending far too mush time complaining about other people's efforts. Why not do something positive with your time, like start a dicussion page that is good (in your opinion)
