Now that the inMusic acquisition has ended NI's insolvency, is your NI / Kontakt-related purchasing pause over?

The uncertainty around Native Instruments' preliminary insolvency definitely caused a freeze on buying new sample libraries for a lot of creators. Now that they've been acquired by inMusic (along with iZotope, PA, and Brainworx), the dust seems to be settling.

Has this acquisition restored your confidence enough to start buying Kontakt libraries again? If they run the usual Summer of Sound sale, will you be upgrading Komplete? Or are you still holding out to see how inMusic handles things like the balance between perpetual licenses and subscription models?

🎮 Game on! We're adding daily music games to LinkedMusicians.

We’re rolling out a brand-new feature to the LinkedMusicians site, music-related games and trivia, and our first release is officially live: Theory Master!

It’s a fun, daily challenge featuring a fresh set of 10 music theory questions every 24 hours. It’s a great way to stay sharp, test your knowledge, or just learn something new. I ran through today's challenge and managed to score 9 out of 10. Not too shabby for a former drummer! (And for the record, I don't write the questions myself, so there was no cheating involved).

The best part of these new games is the community aspect. Every day, we’ll all be tackling the exact same questions and puzzles. The goal is to build a fun daily routine where we can all share, discuss, and compare our results right here on r/LinkedMusicians.

Theory Master is just the beginning. We have a few more games dropping very soon:

  • Melodicle: A Wordle-style daily puzzle using only music-related terms. Get ready to double-check how you spell tricky words like "rhythm"!
  • Gear Master: Think you know your classic studio and stage gear? This will put your equipment knowledge to the ultimate test.
  • Rock Trivia: A daily deep-dive into the history, legends, and wild stories of rock and roll.

Head over to LinkedMusicians to play today's Theory Master, and drop your score in the comments below! Let's see who can pull off a perfect 10/10 today.

LinkedMusicians is Evolving: Join the Conversation Here!

If you’ve been following our journey at LinkedMusicians.com, you know we recently hit a major milestone of 20,000+ monthly unique visitors. As we scale into LinkedMusicians 2.0, we are making some strategic changes to better serve our community of creators.

Registration is Moving to Reddit

To focus our efforts on building the best tools and resources, we have officially closed new member registrations on the main website.

What does this mean for you?

  • The Website is the "Laboratory": LinkedMusicians.com will continue to serve as our primary Resource Hub, housing features like our QuickGuides, Audio Production, Music Theory and Songwriting/Coming Tools, the Native Instruments Insolvency Hub, the Songwriter’s Toolbox, our MixTapes member music section, and more.
  • The Subreddit is the Community: All new discussions, deal-sharing, and networking will now happen right here on this subreddit (all lowercase!).
  • Existing Members: If you already have an account on the main site, your login remains active for accessing legacy forums and tools.

Why the Change?

I want to ensure our platform remains an active and non-toxic, creator-centric environment that continues to thrive and grow. By moving our community interactions to Reddit, we can scale faster, reduce administrative "noise," and keep the focus on professional respect and transparency.

We’re excited to have you as part of this next chapter. Grab a coffee, settle in, and let’s keep the conversation moving forward!

- Peter
