Thanks Andy - we've had a "Fil-Am Bands" forum for the longest time (and that's since the original board opened way back in 2000) but it never really caught on or got a lot of messages. I had to trim a lot of quiet forums when we moved to this new software so out went that forum. I even had to trim "PinoyJazz" even though I personally love Jazz because hardly anyone was posting there.

Fil-Am bands can still be discussed in the Free For All Band Forum ... but if you still think a North-Am band forum is a good idea and can promote it, we can put it in as long as you serve as moderator/cheerleader  :D

When the yupangco forum crashed some of us focused more of our attention here sa philmusic. Ayos din po siguro ung may dedicated thread para sa mga guitarist. My two cents.
Title: i think so
Post by: Godin on February 02, 2005, 01:02:07 PM
i think so.. that people here will sign up for a forum for guitarists... theres alot of things that can be discussed... styles...influences...lessons... at kung ano ano pa.. considering that most of the ppl who post here ( i assume ) knows how to play a guitar.. i think there are alot of guitarists here who's involved in a band.. yun lang.. ROck n Roll!

why not a Beatle Forum? 60s music? naw, never mind.. just the Beatles..  :D

We could talk about their life and music, cover songs, famous bands w/ beatles influences, collectables, etc...?

Just curious. Aren't keyboardists talkative?
Title: No forum for keyboardists?
Post by: pinoymusika on April 21, 2006, 07:31:55 PM
Back in the early days of the board, there were a couple of foums here no longer existing - one for keyboard players, and one about jazz. (Strangely enough it seems that the two go together). They got very little traffic back then (of course at the time, most visitors who surfed by would rather hang out in the Sex and Relationships area and not even discuss music!).

So when I reorganized the board and trimmed the topics, I retained only those topics that I thought would sustain the most interest.

Nowadays things are different, there are a lot more musicians and "serious" music fans on the board. Maybe the time is ripe to bring back

a) a Keyboardists forum
and
b) a Jazz or PinoyJazz forum

As an occassional keyboard player myself and a lifelong jazz fan, I would love to have both. Maybe then we can have some decent Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, or even Boy Katindig threads going. But I'd like to see first if there's any interest.

(http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002AGP.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)

So I'll open the floor to votes: if either area gets at least four votes, then I'll create 'em. What do you think?

Thanks for the history, Pinoymusika. The keyboard forum at Yupangco has little traffic too, so i guess keeping a forum would not be effective. I would assume that keyboardists don't talk much. They just keep on playing.

On kboards &jazz, you're also correct - they go together. I have an eclectic taste but still pine for jazz and hope to get more tips and tutorials thru forums.  This link: http://www.learnjazzpiano.com - has a good educational forum.

Delta Slim has also been bugging me for a Blues area... Maybe we can combine the two? Pinoy Jazz and Blues? Seems that both are misunderstood forms of music (and besides theres always a lot of crossover between the two).
Title: No forum for keyboardists?
Post by: Poundcake on April 25, 2006, 06:15:30 AM
yes, i think that's a good idea. just combine jazz and blues. i think most of the guitarists are inclined to blues rather than jazz, but the other musicians here might be interested in jazz too so i guess it's a good way of intertwining the two musical styles into an informative and lively forum. :)
Title: No forum for keyboardists?

Might be interesting. Blues and jazz is historically intertwinied. Bluesman Delta Slim at Conspiracy even played a ragtime tune.

hi to all. maybe if you could also include jazz-fusion or avant-garde forum which we should also be aware of..

talk about forming a fusion band in the Philippines aside from the pinoy jazz groups we have at present.

ok din ang jazz-fusion...malaki din ang freedom of improvisation which is also rooted from jazz but with polyrhythm arrangements and with wide array of musical styles and sound.

masarap din pakinggan the likes of weather report, return to forever, mahavishnu orchestra, allan holdsworth and present fusion bands like tribal tech, vital tech tones, etc.
ok din concepts ng avant-garde jazz tulad ng kay ornette coleman...

i can't wait to see and check out this forum  :D

Guys,
I'm thinking of killing some low-traffic forums to make way for new ones. I'm not keen on running a board with too many sections, I'd rather delete some that don't have much interest anyway. Here are the candidates for deletion, comments are welcome!

1. Fashion, Beauty, Fitness, and Health ... leftover from the first incarnation of this board, it never really caught on.

2. Food Trip Forum ... not too many foodies in this neck o' the woods, unfortunately.

3. Pinoy HipHop - again, not too much interest... seems everyone prefers rock, blues, jazz, pop - not too many Yo Yo wassup dawgs in this place...

4. Dance and Electronica - again, a real snoozer. Where did all the electronic music fans go? Not on this board apparently.

Old forums I am thinking of reviving under the "anything goes" category - since music gearheads (which form the core audience of Talk@PhilMusic) like gear and technology anyway...

- Personal Technology (gadgets)
- PC Tech (hardware, laptops, mods, etc)

Your comments and suggestions are welcome    =D>

good idea..but this will be a new forum in itself. and since this forum is being run using php, me limit ata putting sub forums ...

additional suggestion for improvement:
1) limit on the size of avatars, nakakairita yung me mga sobrang laking avatars
2) one whole thread catering to member introductions
3) finally a rules and regulations sticky and enforcement of these rules
4) how bout a gaming thread? PS2/XBox/PC game reviews

SRV - i think by threads you mean forums? Anyone can create a thread... actually that "newbie introduction thread" can be started here in Anything goes, and is a pretty good idea. (a Newbie status is anyone with less than 10 posts).

It's actually possible to create sub-forums... I just haven't found any reason to... yet.

As for Avatar sizes - I usually assume most people have common sense to keep their avatars small and not too much of a resource hog... well I guess a few guys lack common sense, hehehe --- very broad hints there! :) :) That animated Jessica Alba avatar takes forever to load on a dialup connection, have pity po on those poor prepaid card users...

about common sense... hehe this is relative... one person's common sense is not the same as another person's common sense so maganda pa rin yung me konting ground rules just in case di nila makuha yung mga hints mo, no matter how broad they are. although i love the "walking bare butt" avatar(limot ko na kung kanino) and panterica's avatar.

+1 ako sa idea about putting up a Personal Technology and PC Tech forum.

About avatars, sana common sense na lang ng member na wag gawing poster size ang avatar hehehe, masyadong malaking bandwidth ang kinakain sa avatar pa lang. kawawa naman ang dialup users.

it's good to see that philmusic is finally getting "moderated" hehe. however, like in philmug.ph, i'd like to suggest that we have a "moderator action" thread here wherein mods post their "moderator related" activities. like what topics have been deleted, users that have been banned (and the reason behind them), posts that have been moved, etc. para lang informed ang mga tao, thus avoiding mga lost post count threads and the like.

How about warning them? May certain degree or scale tapos may equivalent reprimand. Tapos ilagay na lang yung ipinost nila dun nga sa bashing thread pero locked out sila for a certain period of time for discipline. I dunno if that's possible since we're practically many here in the community. (And still increasing.  :D )

On the other hand, if the person had enough moral sense he shouldn't speak with hostility on impulse and instead take his time to air his anger in a tasteful manner. Better yet, keep calm. Do yoga, maybe.  :D
Title: How About a Brass and Woodwinds Forum?

Let the horn players be heard? Also, how about string players (violins, cello)? Philmusic must have them, too. I'm not sure if a Keyboard/Piano thread has been set up.  :D

Guys,
I'm thinking of killing some low-traffic forums to make way for new ones. I'm not keen on running a board with too many sections, I'd rather delete some that don't have much interest anyway. Here are the candidates for deletion, comments are welcome!

1. Fashion, Beauty, Fitness, and Health ... leftover from the first incarnation of this board, it never really caught on.

2. Food Trip Forum ... not too many foodies in this neck o' the woods, unfortunately.

3. Pinoy HipHop - again, not too much interest... seems everyone prefers rock, blues, jazz, pop - not too many Yo Yo wassup dawgs in this place...

4. Dance and Electronica - again, a real snoozer. Where did all the electronic music fans go? Not on this board apparently.

Old forums I am thinking of reviving under the "anything goes" category - since music gearheads (which form the core audience of Talk@PhilMusic) like gear and technology anyway...

- Personal Technology (gadgets)
- PC Tech (hardware, laptops, mods, etc)

Your comments and suggestions are welcome    =D>


Sir, nice forum.. sa Hip-hop forum ok din yun para yun mga hindi mahihilig sa rock maka relate din sa forum na yun.. more powers sa philmusic!

Title: Boy Katindig
Post by: ultimatekeys on October 14, 2006, 02:53:20 AM
Be cool to invite this artist for a forum here, since I heard he is Pinoy too. Next to Bobby Enriquez, I believe, he's one of the most popular here in the U.S. Saw him with Eric Marienthal in Norfolk, Virginia. Smokin'! Been to his cd page lately at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/katindig. There are links to his webpage and here's his email: boykatindig@boykatindig.com
Try it out..

Quote from: pinoymusika
Back in the early days of the board, there were a couple of foums here no longer existing - one for keyboard players, and one about jazz. (Strangely enough it seems that the two go together). They got very little traffic back then (of course at the time, most visitors who surfed by would rather hang out in the Sex and Relationships area and not even discuss music!).

So when I reorganized the board and trimmed the topics, I retained only those topics that I thought would sustain the most interest.

Nowadays things are different, there are a lot more musicians and "serious" music fans on the board. Maybe the time is ripe to bring back

a) a Keyboardists forum
and
b) a Jazz or PinoyJazz forum

As an occassional keyboard player myself and a lifelong jazz fan, I would love to have both. Maybe then we can have some decent Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, or even Boy Katindig threads going. But I'd like to see first if there's any interest.

(http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002AGP.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)

So I'll open the floor to votes: if either area gets at least four votes, then I'll create 'em. What do you think?

What about a separate forum for gigging/performing musicians? Something for what Pallas mentioned "How to get your band signed or how to do it all by yourself. Promoting your band and all that stuff ". Or anything that has to do with "band" matters.  It's like Harmony Central's "Backstage With the Band" or the Fender Forums "Performer's Forum".

In other words, an oldies musicians forum? I don't think we need it. Once we start segregrating the 80's musicians and 80s-centric experiences, we'll need a place for the musicians from the 90's, 70's, 60's, 50's and so forth. Right now you'll find musicians from all generations and eras in the musician forums. Which is how it should be. If you want to start an 80's thread anywhere, that's fine, but there's no need for a separate forum.

Seriously? Pare ang gulo. :)

By thread I think you mean "forum" - each forum actually contains main threads which people are free to create . What you are proposing is creating  even more forums that'll make the opening list of forums even longer. I'm more for keeping the number of forums  at a smaller manageable size rather then encourage an endless proliferation of forums. I think we have too many forums already right now. The last major population increase was done to accommodate Classified ads topics.

Visual artists here in Philmusic must make sure that they are willing to share their artworks.  There might be possible issues regarding intellectual property, copyrights, things like that...  Because there could be somebody out there who might steal your ideas.

No problem with me since I wont share ideas and original concepts naman.. but mostly modern artworks that is either rock and roll themed or yung tamang kakulitan lang.. just to share some nice moments.. kahit na edited pictures of your bands or soon to be cover ng CD can be shared.. all for one purpose of sharing it to our fellow artists and musicians..

I, too would suggest having a feedback system.

Although I agree with edgeofillusion-jepoy that the board is primarily for music and musicians, I came upon a thread discussing a member (along with the member's band) who was shortchanged by another re: booking in the Middle East and/or and running away with the band's money.

I believe that musicians and artists are so easily taken advantage of. A feedback system may serve as a good warning regarding deals, not just in exchange of goods but most especially with rendering services for others, especially if money has exchanged hands (caveat emptor!) and trust between members are broken.

After all, forums and boards thrive on the responsible behavior of its members and are mainly based on trust. But for unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances, we should be able to monitor our own ranks.

in support for the violins and brass forums, I think they'd be a great addition to philmusic. I don't play any of those instruments but I believe, to be the #1 Philippine music website, it would be great to accommodate all types of musicians as well. We could grow into a bigger, better community of artists and eventually call the help of each other if needed.

I hope this can happen  :-D

first and foremost thank to everyone behind philmusic, not only did i found a place to hang-out and meet fellow musicians, i was able to join a band through this forum. this place have been such a blessing.....

to the mods - can i suggest a church/house of worship forum. medyo malawak kase scope ng music-related ministry pagdating sa churches e. usually pag musician ka, may pagka jack-of-all trades ka. minsan mapupunta ka sa sound reinforcement, sa lights, setup ng mga instruments, power point projection (unless you're a member of one of those mega-churches). sa ngayon kase pag may tanong ka tungkol sa sounds punta ka sa MTPA, pag sa instruments, bass place, pinoydrums,guitar central, pag sa stage lighting - (di ko alam kung saan). so kung pwede i-integrate yun, as long as related sya sa church, dun na lang i-post. suggestion lang po. thanks a lot.

Title: Re: Manager's and producer's forum or directory
Post by: bananagrahamskyflakes on November 01, 2007, 09:08:16 PM
Hi Jim.

Here are a few ideas for the producers and managers forum:

- well they probably could share tips for others who want to get into the business of producing, managing(ins and outs; dos and don'ts, how to earn money)

- share their experiences (these could be funny experiences, bad
experiences, stuff that would-be producers/managers could either learn from or just get a good laugh out of)

- maybe post events or seminars

- post when they are looking for talent (good for all of us here since we have so many members, so many talent just waiting to be discovered... by the way our band site is ... just kidding :))

- post criteria for new talents (i mean a lot of us here are musicians who really don't know what to do next after they make a demo(yes i have a motive for this forum) so I guess it could help if they could share tips on what musicians should have before approaching producer's or managers)

- interact with other like minded individuals (this is more of a goal than a topic)

- self promotion type of posts(i guess this is also a goal)

That's pretty much it I guess.



Title: Turntableist / Electronica
Post by: xjepoyx on December 05, 2007, 03:23:40 AM
i have a few friends who i invited here in Philmusic then tinanong ko kung bakit di man lang sila nag papaka active. Sabi nila "wala naman place para sa mga electronic musicians dyan eh"

Turntablism or turntables are cosidered din kasing musical instrument and wala ito under musicians forums.

Maybe electronic musicians should be given a place here din dito.

Just my 2 cents.

I don't think this requires a separate forum as the topic of care and maintenance of your gear has been discussed in several threads already... and I don't frequent the GC forums that much! Maybe Poundcake/markflo or some other members can compile the various tips and create a sticky in the GC forum.

I've had the privilege of watching "CATS" and "Miss Saigon" in NYC, and "Les Miserables" and "Phantom of the Opera". this was in 1998. and I must say mismo talaga. i always listen to the orchestra and close my eyes sometimes so that i can appreciate the music.

CATS.  I insisted to see this first because it offers a wide musical spectrum and the choreography. from the dark opening till the ending, was quite an experience for me. if ever you want a quick glimpse into what a musical is, then this is the one you should see. it was also made into video, so there is no excuse for you not to see it. it is also because i love cats. 

Favorite songs. "Old Deuteronomy" - melody and great lyrics (syempre TS Ellliot diba), "Jellicle Ball" - the overture.

Post by: riffscreamer on July 25, 2008, 02:40:45 PM
We already have separate forums for almost every kind of instrument(almost, kasi wala pa akong nakikitang section for violins, violas, cellos, etc.). What about a forum for a group. As in, band talk. A place where guitarists, bassists, keyboardists, drummers, and vocalists can exchange ideas, but still in the whole band mindset. For example, a forumite has a question that covers all the parts of a band, say, how a band can perform well on stage. Hope my suggestion gets noticed!
Title: Re: new forum suggestion

the artsy part was for siore's comment.

and my point was if a thread wont last, sayang naman yung effort kung gagawa pa ng forum. my suggestion would be for you to make a thread maybe sa AGT o sa pro audio forums. if it flourishes and too many topics are being discussed for a single thread to handle, maybe then would be the right time to create a forum for that purpose

Why don't you guys set up a separate sub board under the classifieds for those who permanently sell stuff in this forums (boutique pedals, pedal boards, drum stuff, freelance audio engineers, repairs...) let them pay some sort of monthly fee, to help with the maintenance of the board, if they want to set up a store in that area.

di naman kelangan artsy. can be like the rest of the forums here pero audio-for-picture yung subject matter. stuff like time code, frame rates, experiences with sound design for pictures, etc

There have been several discussions already about sync and time code in the Pro Audio forums. Can always revive those threads if need be. You can also create a thread about sound design if you want to.

Interesting pag may DIY forum. Kaso lang it has to be regulated well. Walang masyadong "astig ser!", "magkano aabutin?", "wow!" etc... dapat puro instructions and technical questions. :)

One vote from me! :D

Once again, it's really funny when you guys talk as if I'm not here.  :-D

The site is maintained.... with a laptop?  :wink:

We have a server in the US and we maintain it remotely, through the magic of the internet (er, I really don't know how to answer the question). Anyway chette does most of the server maintenance, my reason for existence is just to write articles and harass the users of the forum. har har

Who pays the fees? my credit card does! (ouch)

Where do they get it? Uhmmm, I have a job that has nothing to do with PhilMusic.

Sa Google Ads lang ba? Well mostly it just sucks up my bank account, hehehe

Is it sufficient? Hell no! But I love you guys so I continue to spend for this site.

Why all the nosy questions all of a sudden? Are you sending me a blank check?  :-D

Too much admin work just to charge fees from people every month. If I had a less demanding real-life job then that becomes more feasible, but we attend to Philmusic mainly in our spare time.

Hmm...music-related DIY.

Pero Labu-labo to if it's only one board. There will be luthiery DIY, pedal DIY, amp DIY, DIY mods, DIY drums, and DIY sex. Este. Hehehe. Or at least we can branch it into more general boards like "Electronics DIY" , sama-sama na lahat dun from MTPA to Guitar Central to Bass Place na concerns basta electronic. Then Luthiery DIY, then DIY drums (if there's a demand) and etc.

To be organized, it will become an entire forum subsection, with multiple boards under it.

Its Jim's call whether to create it or not.

I just wish we could have a Mod for this or maybe I'll just start a thread about it, and BTW how do you make your subject line appear in BOLD ? Your advice about this will be truly appreciated guys, Thanks a lot and more power to Philmusic!!!

waaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! or can i just say there should be segregation sa mga parts at accessories (w/c accessories nga ba ang pickups etc... :?)

just a suggestion though... :?

and yung mga hindi naa-update na thread (sa classifieds) for 2 weeks dapat i-delete na... :evil:

Post by: keene on May 28, 2009, 02:29:40 AM
Moderators, i suggest that we have a separate thread for clinics and related stuff. So that sabihin nating drummer ako, but then gusto ko ring pumunta sa mga bass clinics or guitar clinic, i could easily be informed and so everyone can profit out of it. If we'll have a general thread for clinics and festivals life would be a lot easier... :roll:

yes. so create the thread yourself. AFAIK, guitar central has successfully organized clinic(s). clinics dont get made everyday so creating a sub forum for clinics is, to me, not practical. so, getting back to my previous post, lets just stick to making threads on corresponding instrument sub forums since its more practical for casual users.  :lol: just dont take my word for it, di ako mod. hahaha

@liahkim - the Classifieds are only a few clicks away. You've made it this far, a few more clicks with the mouse wouldn't hurt.

@peabrain - check the Guitar Accessories classifieds. We're already differentiated between guitars and accessories, using the search function should help. Of course, the older the post, the less likely that the item is still available.

Post by: smartassplayingdumb on October 30, 2009, 11:36:12 PM
Yeah, it kinda sucks that it's all in one forum. I think having two separate sections for bass and bass accessories would be better. Even if the bass section doesn't move fast as it is right now, it'll be more organized to have 2 sections.

sir... pero parang always na "down" ang search function dahil sa stress sa server chuva chuva na yan... at isa pa... bukod sa undeleted "up" post (which aminado ako na hindi ko din magawang magdelete ng up) diba dapat yung mga iba dyan na... FCS na makulit at ayaw i-merge ang post nila ang nagpapadami ng mga up post, so parang naisip ko na dagdagan natin yung disection sa accesories... basta hirap ako magexplain... basta parang ganto:

1. Guitar Classified
2. Guitar Amplifiers & Effects
3. Guitar Parts & Accesories

basta parnag ganun... sir KitC...

total ayaw din naman nila na mag merge ng ads nila... eh di i-super segragate natin para di masakit sa mata kasi minsan...

parang ganito eh....

item example
FS:\ Item ni Selle#1 $900K
FS:\ Parts ni Seller2
FS:\ Effects ni Seller2
FS:\ Amps ni Seller2
FS:\ Straps ni Seller2

which diba? he can give a total of 4 ups a day, dagdagan mo pa ng link sa each of ad so basically you can have a 4 advertisement 4 links and 4 times na pede maview yung item mo na pede rin gawing ala chatroom yung post mo...

di sir ang ibig ko sabihin yung iba nating forumer na, ayaw i merge yung ads nila as one,,, gaya dis morning sa guitars classifieds, i saw an ad na magkakasunod lang imbis na imerge,

ad1. STRAT
ad2. TELE
ad3. LP
^ na same naman ang seller...

e kung imerge nalang kaya nila yan... strict enforcement sana...

at gaya naman sa guitar accesories

ad1. pedals
ad2. straps
ad3. pickups and parts
^ isa lang ang seller... different ads...

kung ganun din lang ang mangyari, maigi pa i hiwalay na natin esp. sa guitar parts, para mabawasan lang ang sakit sa mata na makulit

Noted.

The forum mods sometimes take the initiative and merge those posts, but it can be difficult to do so since we are not here 24/7. Best we can do at any given time is delete duplicate posts.

For the seller, it sometimes makes the post clearer if they advertise one product at a time since it becomes easier to track and negotiations do not become muddled over multiple item posts. Still, it is the TS's option to start a multiple item thread.

It can be hard to implement this strictly since PM is, first and foremost, a musician's forum, and not an active buy-and-sell site like sulit.ph or ebay. The classifieds here are mostly for the forumer's convenience and PM does not earn in any way from any transaction. Think of the classifieds as an online flea market.

Title: Re: Sana merong "Looking For" na page
Post by: KitC on December 13, 2009, 09:12:41 AM
The classifieds were originally meant as a service to forumers in selling/trading their gear, but PM was never intended to be a commerce site. To add a separate LF section would mean adding another layer to the already numerous sections in the forum. As it is, the mods have their hands full keeping check on the classifieds as well the other forum boards that we regularly moderate.

In any event, the classifications are clear; FS are For Sale posts, FT means For Trade, and LF stands for the Looking For posts. Often, posts that are past the 5th page in the classifieds are usually inactive already - some forumer just don't update their old classifieds to indicate if the item has been sold, traded or found. But if an item is active, the buyer or seller will bump their post everyday so that it climbs to the top of the list. Note that only the threadstarter is allowed to bump their own post while bumps by other posters will be actively deleted.

Copyrights are actually registered through the National Library, while Filscap handles the royalties collection (if you are a member), so there really isn't much of an issue with copyrights. It just requires a little bit of legwork on the part of the artist.

The problem with our lawmakers is another issue altogether.

The problem with our lawmakers is another issue altogether.

I am aware of the whats, wheres, and hows of copyrights, performance rights, and royalty collections. Yes we have a system for registering copyrights and collecting royalties patterned after the US. I must say It was very well written, The way it was documented was so good you will bow down your head for it was so labyrinthine.

My point is, It is just there. Let's face it, it is not well enforced. For instance, in the bars where all the musicians are covering songs playing requests in order to satisfy their customers hunger for hearing their fave songs. Do you think the copyrights and performing rights are enforced? I don't think so, many of the bands doesn't know about it and the establishments who supposed to be more knowledgeable for they are doing business always gives you an answer of: 'Wala namang naniningil eh"

So one cannot say that there really isn't much of an issue with copyrights. Well apparently IT IS ALARMING.  :evil:

Let's face it, it is not well enforced. For instance, in the bars where all the musicians are covering songs playing requests in order to satisfy their customers hunger for hearing their fave songs.

In this example, Filscap does not typically enforce royalty collection, in the same way that Ascap, BMI, and other US organizations do not go after cover bands in all bars in the US. For one thing, this will require all bands and bars to submit a set list of songs to be played to the governing bodies in order for royalties to be collected. The logistics of carrying out this activity is humongous and largely impractical.

What is carried out, and is also practiced here, is in fixed installations such as malls with piped in music, radio and TV stations, and major concert venues. Even ringtone providers are required to submit mechanical royalties.

It is not just there.

Title: Category for Bands per se..

If I am a vocalist, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, drummer, I know where to go in PhilMusic to talk about my concerns. Pero what if I want to talk about my band or other bands? kasi minsan I want to start threads regarding "YOUR BAND" or "MY BAND" issues. Like for example,

1. "Things that you do to promote your band."
2. "Bio of your band."
3. "How do you deal with your band mates"
4. "Plano ng banda nyo in the next 3 years"

Saan ko ilalagay ang ganitong klaseng mga topics? Please shed some light.

Kung wala I suggest na magkaroon ng category sa PhilMusic na dedicated sa usaping "BANDA" per se. I can't think of a title for the category pero sana you guys get my point .. If I am missing something here please enlighten me..
Thanks..

Post by: dtfitch on March 23, 2010, 03:42:27 PM
This is my suggestion on the classified pages para po maging mas organized.

*"Classifieds: Guitars"
Sana merong folders for the common brands of guitars under that page.
For example:

[Aria]
[BC Rich]
[Fender]
[Ibanez]
[Washburn]
etc....
[Others]

*"Classifieds: Guitar accessories"
Sana po merong specific parts or accessories under it.

[Machine Heads/Tuners]
[Bridges, Tail piece, Tremolos]
[Pick Ups]
[Strings]
[Toggles, Switches]
[Pedals, Effects, Stompboxes/Electronic Gadgets]
[Gigbags/Cases]
[Straps]
[Cables]
etc...
[Others]

*Same as applied sa Bass guitar section

*Classifieds: Drums and Percussion
[Drum set]
[Drums]
[Cymbals]
[Sticks]
[Drumming accessories]
[Congas]
[Bongos]
[Cajons]
[Djembes]

Samples lang po yung mga nilista ko po. I hope that it would be applied after the server migration. Thanks Philmusic.

I know. I just feel that people should also recognize works of other luthiers so that people can have more options on where to bring their instruments, just in case the already known luthiers here in the forums are busy with other projects :-)

Most well known luthiers already have their own sites so like my previous example, Elegee, you can surf their site for pics. I know the Guitar Hospital also has their own site where they post pics at times.
Title: suggestions to moderators
Post by: LUCIFER on April 19, 2010, 09:49:23 PM
there mod's as you see many of phimusicians are requesting for a metal forum.. so my suggestion is that can you please put a forum under metal category. So it comes just like this.. metal.. 1. metal gigs announcements (metal only) 2. musicians wanted (metal only) 3. band details-band profile for productions reference(metal only). hope   you can lay some of your time for this.. thnx.. hoping for your immediate compliance.. thnx mods.. godspeed!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D
Title: Re: suggestions to moderators
Post by: KitC on April 20, 2010, 10:23:47 AM
By complying with your suggestion, this would mean that we would be setting the precedent for allowing each rock genre (as well as other forms of music) to have their own forum. As it is, the musician's forums are already divided according to major genres and establishing a separate forum for metal, separating the gig announcements, etc., is not only major undertaking and re-alignment of the forum, but is also too separatist for what is actually a sub-genre of music which has it's roots in rock. This will fracture the structure of the forums in general; and only add another layer to the strata which we are trying to keep as flat and as succinct as possible.

I'm sorry, but we cannot acquiesce to your suggestion.

Title: Further sub-foruming in Philmusic?
Post by: inigo on June 15, 2010, 01:40:28 PM
Taking off from Boosted's thread in GC: http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php?topic=190368.0
I'd like to suggest further sub-foruming of some of Philmusic's subforums:

1. Split up Guitar Central, Pinoydrums, Bass Place, Keyboards R Us, and Blowing Section into:
- Gear (gear news, acquisitions, tech tips, buying advice, diy's, gear videos/soundclips, etc)
- Guitar/drums/bass/keyboard/horn school (spin off from the Music School)
- Anything guitar (artists, rants, heroes, news, projects, etc)

2. With the above suggestion, dissolve the Music School forum.

3. Split up MTPA into:
- Recording --> HW and SW subforums
- Performance/PA stuff

3. Because of the volume of posts, Classifieds: Guitar Accessories can be split up into
- Amps
- Pedals/effects
- Others (picks, strings, straps, hardware, parts, etc)

4. Merge or dissolve the Pinoy Rock & Pinoy Pop forums... I don't see the difference anymore. :)
Instead of these, create "Pinoy Mainstream pop/rock" and "Pinoy Underground pop/rock" subforums.


Yun lang. Ktnxbye :)
Title: SUGGESTION: a new section for FOR RENT INSTRUMENTS ETC
Post by: Souljp21 on September 05, 2010, 02:13:23 PM
Good day Forumers..this is just a suggestion of mine..


can we have a section for "For Rent" equipments only?..para atleast pag me nangangailangan ng sound system me isang section na lang silang pupuntahan dito sa philmusic...di yung nagkalat ang isang ads in every section (guitars,guitar accesories,bass etc), sorry didnt mean to offend some of our fellow forumers here na me ganitong business lalo na ngayong "ber" season maganda ang ganitong mga business...its a section for rent lang..then dun makikita and mai-co-compare yung mga instruments and pricing offered ng mga sound system rentals,mas may options yung mga customers. tama po ba? well,its just a suggestion=) PEACE!!!
Title: Stolen Musical Instruments Registry
Post by: kLAss_aXe on October 02, 2010, 04:00:08 PM
Hi there,

I'm a recent US Repat and new to PhilMusic dot com (after being referred by the MI guru from Audiophile dot ph).

I apologize if this is a repeat but I wasn't about to wade through the seemingly endless amount of posts just to ask if there is a registry for stolen/fenced MI's in the RP, specifically electric guitars and electric guitar amplifiers in the NCR.

Cheers!

kLaSS_aXe

And BTW, there's a special circle in Hell for people who steal musical instruments and in no way should any of us be a part in another musician's misery. I hope everyone is in concurrence with that.

Title: New section for AMPS?
Post by: bklixuz on October 04, 2010, 12:39:31 AM
senxa na if na suggest na to.

eh clear naman title pa lang ng sa classifieds "guitar accessories" hindi guitar accessory ang guitar amps (except sa sub title).
Ang hirap kasi mag hanap ng guitar amps sa classifieds dami kasi nag update sa mga posts nila like guitar accessories.
from page 1 to 7 or 8 lang ha posts where updated today and yesterday pa.
may mga nag post kasi na selling amps but not updating their post daily or every other day.
I spend mostly 2 hours sa classifieds kasi some sellers are not writing their title on what they are selling so I have to look into their page pa to see what they are selling (baka andum yung hinahanap ko) and also I stop by on some pages na tempting din ung binebenta nila.
di mo rin alam, hanap ng hanap ka sa pages 10 and above (ex. mga 1 hr na spend mo) tapos ina update pala ng seller ung post nya nasa page 1 na. nakaka asar din. pero me using a proxy server para maka pasok sa Philmusic, I always have this problem at mabagal yung loading nya sa page.
and there are other people na walang internet sa bahay so sa cafe sila mag update ng posts nila and di lagi daily nila ma update
alam mo naman magastos din if daily nag rent ng pc.
sa experience ko lang before, I bought my peavey transtube from a seller na ung post nya was on page 23 something...
I bought my peavey head sa post na page 10.
if gagamitin ko ung search tool lagi nalang nag error at if ever mag work ung search bar may mga title din na wrong spelling so walang panalo!

pwede ba to mods new section para sa amps? guitar amps insert narin ung bass amps.
or 21 day rule bump tulad ng jemsite :D

Unfortunately, there is no classification for violins and other orchestral instruments here.

As for the classifieds, we do try to clean them up but as you can see...

Noted on the requirement for an 'orchestral' classifieds. We'll take it up with the admins. (Gian? can you tweet JA about this?)

That's what the Classical Gas forum is all about although, admittedly, it is quite a limiting designation. Might I suggest the Pop, Rock and Jazz forums if you happen to engage in those genre? I'll have a talk with michiko and the admins if we can arrange something, but please don't hold your breath waiting. The forums are beginning to appear ungainly to me because of the breadth of its scope and size.

Hello Mods, suggest lang ako ng bagong forum, yung parang Anything Goes na Classifieds forum. Alam ko kasi bawal magpost sa Unclassified classifieds na mga non-musical related na ads at andami kong nakikitang nalolock na ads dun dahil hindi nga music related. Suggestion lang po mga mods  :lol:
Title: Re: New Forum suggestion - Anything Goes Classifieds
Post by: KitC on March 04, 2011, 08:20:10 AM
I think we should keep in mind that the classifieds in PM were originally meant to cater to the needs of musicians. The classifieds were brought about because a lot of gear was being traded in the past and creating a separate classified ad forum just made things easier to manage during the early years of PM.

To open the floodgates to 'Anything Goes' ads will mean a tremendous load to the mods that we, by and large, cannot manage effectively. Furthermore, there are other sites that can cater to ads not covered by PM.

I'm sorry, but we cannot grant this request.

I'm afraid that making a separate section for LF ads would sectionalize the ad section too much, when in reality the Classifieds were meant as an adjunct to the original discussion forums. There are too many subsections in the classifieds as it is. That's why most ads either indicate FS or LF.

I made the mistake of posting my male shihtzu for trade to guitar/nonguitar related items at the Ünclassified classifieds" the last time I posted there was more than a year ago and I was'nt able to read the new rules and got locked, my bad for this as I assumed it was still anything goes as before.

May I respectfully suggest for  putting up a classified section wherein PMérs might want to sell or trade their non musical related stuff (for sale or trade to musical or non musical items)> I feel it's going to help those PM'ers who are either short on funds or those who have some things that they don't need anymore and find a good deal without shelling out cash.
Title: Music stores in the forums
Post by: masarapangtaho on December 14, 2011, 12:22:57 PM
Hi sir Jim and Philmusic Mods,
Lately, there has been a rampant trend of music stores posting in our forums. Not that it's a bad thing but I do think they should still abide by the rules of this forum.

This post by JBMusicph: http://talk.philmusic.com/index.php?topic=251656.0
clearly violates this rule in the Guitar Central forum:
"6. Do not post threads about items wanted or for sale/trade here.
- This forum is not a marketplace. Post them at the Classifieds forum instead.

First offense = thread will be moved to the proper forum
Second offense = thread will be deleted
Third offense, etc. = offending member will be a candidate for suspension or banning"

Also another is this post by mr.cLEEn of Lazer Music at an Epiphone thread:
(http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee378/thelazermusic/epiphone/EpiphoneFREEJacketPoster2011-1.jpg)

I think posts like these should be in the classifieds and not on general guitar talk or bass talk since they are promoting their items and (in a way) selling them in the thread.

If I may suggest that we have a "Music Store" section (that can be a paid forum to fund the maintainance and bandwidth of this forum like in SOFT.sg and TDPRI) where music stores and their cronies can post about their latest offers, products, price updates, sales, etc.

I know that this will mean more work for our mods but then again, the purity of posts in the forums is in jeopardy. Soon most of these music stores will post prices and promos everywhere and our forums will just be one big classified ads for them.

Cheers!

I understand your point bro. but even before sa BP when you were with JB pa, may mga nakakalusot din minsan.
And yes, marami ka nang natulungan.

My point here is not to flame you or your company but to maintain order and discipline in the forums.
I honestly think the point of advertising and posting promos and prices is to lure in customers to buy your product.
It may be direct or indirect but at the end of the day, sales brought about by advertising is still a sale. :-D

Honestly tama ka bro! :-D pero iba talaga ang puso ko sa pagtulong, karamihan sa atin or kahit sa individual kung mapapansin nyo lahat tayo may naturalesa na salesman/saleslady in what way? pag pinapakilala natin ang sarili natin or pag sinasabi natin ang kakayahan natin. isa pang halimbawa pag nangliligaw tayo binibenta natin ang sarili natin siempre para sagutin tayo ng nililigawan natin heheheh. kaya minsan hindi maiwasan ang isang pagtulong ay namimiss interpret ng iba. pero brother masarapangtaho wala akong masamang ibig sabihin ha, kwentuhan lang. :-D

maganda din idea ni brother gandydancer123 na magkaroon ng section ang mga music store para dun papasok ng direct inquiry, promotions and advertisement. kung ako tatanungin lahat magbebenefit dito ang community and music stores. sana mapag aralan itong usapin na ito ni Sir.Jim at ng mga mods since sobrang expose at sobrang dami na nating member dito na magkaroon nga sana ng venue ang mga music store dito. ok ito pag natuloy ito! :-D

i agree. Music Stores have to have their own sections ...

i used to think they are OK, but a lot of inquiries especially about prices are either ignored or you are referred to another site.

and besides, the music store posts are very impersonal and very generic...

i guess this also goes out to the Philmusic merchants... those buy and sell guys and DIY businessmen who rarely contribute to the forum, they should have their own sections called Stores or something. for one thing, it will be easier to find them without having to type search all the time.

On the other hand ... "World Music" is too broad. The term can refer to anything excluding Western Popular music. It would be like putting pop, rock, jazz, soul, and country under one section "Western Popular Music".

I spend mostly 2 hours sa classifieds kasi some sellers are not writing their title on what they are selling so I have to look into their page pa to see what they are selling (baka andum yung hinahanap ko) and also I stop by on some pages na tempting din ung binebenta nila.
di mo rin alam, hanap ng hanap ka sa pages 10 and above (ex. mga 1 hr na spend mo) tapos ina update pala ng seller ung post nya nasa page 1 na. nakaka asar din. pero me using a proxy server para maka pasok sa Philmusic, I always have this problem at mabagal yung loading nya sa page.
and there are other people na walang internet sa bahay so sa cafe sila mag update ng posts nila and di lagi daily nila ma update
alam mo naman magastos din if daily nag rent ng pc.
sa experience ko lang before, I bought my peavey transtube from a seller na ung post nya was on page 23 something...
I bought my peavey head sa post na page 10.
if gagamitin ko ung search tool lagi nalang nag error at if ever mag work ung search bar may mga title din na wrong spelling so walang panalo!

pwede ba to mods new section para sa amps? guitar amps insert narin ung bass amps.
or 21 day rule bump tulad ng jemsite :D

Thanks for the suggestions, but this is primarily a message forum, not a real classified ads database driven site. I suggest you do your transactions on a classified ads site like sulit. Or leave this site.

Title: How about Gig Venue Reviews?
Post by: metalheadz on May 28, 2013, 06:44:38 PM
do we already have a thread for this? do you want a thread like this? I feel that we should also have reviews for gig places wherein we enjoyed our stays the most :lol:

MODS. *Bane voice. "You govern over us. You do what you can to keep the control. Do as you please. I did not see the light until I was a man." lolwut :lol:

IMO we could have it over at the Gig Announcement Board; technically it's supposed to be a discussion board. I might rename it as Gig Reviews and Announcements. Well what do you know.. I just did! :lol:


Gig Reviews and Announcements
Got a gig? Post your reviews, experiences and gig announcements (concerts, club dates, other performances) here!

Title: How about a Spare Parts thread?
Post by: metalheadz on June 18, 2013, 05:04:28 PM
I am sure a lot of us are more than willing to help out a fellow musician in need of parts that are either difficult to find or not really available here like spare parts or even items we have not really used in a while. Maybe it's best to pass em on to others so that others may benefit from it :-D
Not really a for sale thread but a thread that focuses on giving the stuff or at least giving leads to other members needs in such things. >:D

Long ago I expereinced a man hunt for a s pare input jack washer. I know you could get some online but they offer the whole input jack, I just needed the washer. Took me like 4 months two find one in the most unexpected place where you would find one (wanna know the story, PM me hehe) :-D

What do you guys think? :?
Where should this thread go? ^-^
Should this thread even exist? :-D

Thanks Philmusic! :razz: :idea:

It could be done either in it's specific musician's forum board or for the FS items, in the unclassifieds.

unfair sa ibang rock genres if genre-specific ang board allotment sa PM; kukulangin din tayo sa bandwidth to cater to all if ever. You could start a Metal "Thread" sa Rock Forums instead though. :mrgreen:

Thank you sir for that information and I understand what you mean about the bandwidth.

I just have my two cents though:

- Metal is not a sub genre of rock. Metal is a genre of its own. I wouldn't call dying fetus or cannibal corpse or necrophagist rock bands, they are metal bands.

- Metal is a genre evolved from rock and has generated its own identity as a genre itself and sub genres.

Rock sub-genres > classic rock/glam rock, punk rock, acid rock, hard rock, grunge, etc..

Metal sub-genres > death metal, technical death metal, djent/math metal, black metal, metalcore, deathcore, doom metal, etc..

So the statement said about the being unfair of a metal thread to other rock genres (for me) is not correct. But if you make another separate thread for say "acid rock", then that would be unfair to other rock (sub) genres.

And another thing, the "The Music Forums" board IS actually a genre-specific section of PM. Thus the thread names/board allotments are like "Pop", "The Rock Music Forums", "Jazz and Blues Cafe", "Classical", "Soul", etc., which separates these threads by the type of the "genre" to be discussed under each thread..

But if the "issue" will be bandwidth, maybe we can call the thread "Rock/Metal" thread instead..

Again, just my opinions. Thanks!  :wave:

Music Teachers Section ?

dun sana magpopost yung mga nagtuturo ng any form of music, either through private practice, schools, bands, choirs, or any other institution. may sariling language and mindset kasi ang mga educators eh hehe so i think it would be a great idea to make this possible

Di ko napansin ito, di ko na tuloy nabalikan sorry. I'm thinking about adding a metal board as a sub board of the rock forums since madami na din naman nagrequest nito; traffic-wise OK naman yung expected projection and bandwidth could cater pa naman kahit papaano. I'll work on it within the week. :mrgreen: 

EDIT: Done as promised |m|

You could create a thread sa Words and Music Section for the meantime, I'll sticky it para madaling makita. If OK naman yung response ng mga tao, enough to turn it to a board of it's own then I'll update it by then. Thanks! :wave:

Ah kaya pala nagkaroon ng sub forum for metal! Pero seriously "metal" on the Rock music forum and on its own forum is the same, same thread, same people participating, i dont see the need of creating a child board.. Oh well its done anyways!

I'll let it run for a while since medyo madami na din nagrequest for a stand alone "metal" board ever since. If hindi significant yung impact traffic-wise, madali naman i-integrate ulit yung board sa main forum. :-D
