thank you so much, @Kesha 🥰😊

many thanks 😊 Yes, I use Cubase Pro 13 and keep it updated year after year because it's absolutely worth it. Each year brings even more incredible features, and I truly adore it—it's exceptional. I've been following it since its beginnings as software for the Atari ST computer in the late '80s. Later, it expanded to other platforms like Macintosh and PC. Now, on the PC, it's performing at its best, and I'm very pleased with Cubase on this platform. I have 64GBs of ram 😉

I was featured in 'Remixed' on Fiverr, where a select group of professional composers were invited to remix tracks, and I joined in with my remix, showcasing my talent—naturally incorporating orchestral sounds. It was an incredible experience, especially because I was the only one to take such an approach. Here's the video and the specific moment where I make my appearance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTZgvRjUM44&t=548s My best topics:

all wonderful hobbies!! thanks for the fantastic posts! 😊 I forgot to add that in the past I liked also to paint miniatures, exactly medieval lead miniatures. Depending the miniature, I used first a white spray (or a black spray with monsters) as base, then I used my brush with different colors. I'm not an expert, but it just relaxed me. I should start again painting miniatures 😊

hello, yes, you need months to obtain the first orders. the portfolio is very important, add examples so to show what you can do, to the customers.

hello, it took months for me as well, consider that there are many reaching those goals, but only the best of the best are chosen, I don't know exactly the stats for this, but probably a very small percentage. You have to focus and continue to bring quality and improve your stats.

Yes, consider that remote working will become more important in the next months, for different reasons (maybe also the pandemic situation). I believe that sooner or later this evolution of the jobs marketplace was destined to appear. It's linked also to new technologies, internet speed and multimedia companies needs. We have the honour to be in this wonderful transition moment 😊

exactly, I mean the risk is that the "let's try" philosophy attracts amateurs, ruining the marketplace and the reputation of specific roles. It's an open market but when you destroy the composers role (as example) giving your customers crap and they begin to think that it's fault of the entire category that works remotely, then it's a big problem.

very nice! 😊

this is very interesting. Indeed top stars are given not considering an absolute meter, but the satisfaction of the customer. as example in my field "music and audio" I received top stars for simple jobs, because they were exactly what the customers needed (they considered them "perfect") while in my demos I've got more complex sequences refused "as demos" by the same customers. In my field all is very subjective, so the real meter is the customer satisfaction.

yes I think more options should be opened so to have more data to match, but anyway I'm sure briefs will improve. I'm very positive in this way. It would be cool if we could receive in the next months briefs every day. I'm sure also more customers are needed.

I'm sure briefs will improve in the next months. It's a new service, it needs time to fine tune.

Ok, this is something easy but that many don't know: how to use the Top Keywords tool! This tool lets you find the 10 Top Keywords used to reach one of your GIGs, considering the impressions, clicks, orders etc etc There's a lot that can be studied, but the most important thing probably, is that you need: 1) to use those keywords inside the title of your GIG, to increase the impressions 2) doing the same for the tags, BUT (important), to have the best effect you must include (in the tags) keywords not used in the title, so to have a broader effect!

Yes, interesting topic. I give you an example: you know, graphic artists relax themselves listening to music, so what a musician like myself could do to relax? doing graphics! yes as hobby I work with graphics, 3d but I also like to paint.
