I think you really want to expand your understanding of what social
media is. All of the above except printed magazines is part of it :)
Hello Alexandre,
You're right, I'm confusing social media and social networking
services. I meant the latter.
the other things are imho not useful. Twitter, Facebook, Google+
won't work,
simply too much dispersion, people don't collaborate on these
platforms,
they only click on buttons and leave pointless comments.
That's quite an exxageration.
I know. I've already replied to Rosea where that originates from.
Next time I'll keep the whole picture in mind :)
I do some techsupport for Inkscape, GIMP
and Scribus via Twitter. It's actually useful for helping people solve
simple issues. That's not a direct marketing, but it helps preserving
user base. Of course, one could go beyond that.
I call BS, with the band I convinced the others to ditch Cubase in
favor of
Qtractor because every rehearsal session we were totally lost again
on how
to record a simple track.
You mean you didn't know how to use Cubase? :)
Ha ha, yeah, that's true. We even borrowed a 300 page Cubase book
from a friend but still we didn't manage.
Well, for comparison, I once tried to make a simple stereo recording
using Ardour, and was completely unable to figure it out. But
pro-level software is complex and assumes that its user has a lot of
domain-specific knowledge (is an experienced audio engineer). I don't
fault the UI for that!
Ardour is a really step above Cubase...
I'm not the one who tried to use Cubase, so I'll take your word for it.
