But upgrade headaches SHEESH! I keep my music comp offline for this very reason. Hope you can get those plugins back in action!
Oh, the upgrade was flawless. It was actually my fault. I was explicitly asked to REBOOT but I just "left that for later"... then Ableton upgraded itself and I kept working instead of restarting. Two hours into the set and I didn't save a single thing (still working in "Untitled Project") ... Frankly, it was a mess waiting to happen. Fortunately, after the reboot/restart, everything went back to normal after some precious minutes.
Glad your system is back, Drew. Your video work is just fantastic 
It worked just fine Thanks a lot, Aday !!!
Can I have an upload link, please? I started rendering my project (after updating to macOS Catalina) and some plugins got frozen big time. I had to reboot and re-render (without the offending plugins) so I missed the deadline.
Thanks in advance. I shouldn't upgrade the OS on Weeklybeat days

My upload went OK, though on monday morning I realized I upload one of the final demos, not the finished master. Some parts are missing.
Can I replace the file without losing the comments? Thank you
I don't think so. I think deleting and getting a new upload link from an admin is the only way and that will also delete all comments.
Oh, then I'll add a link to a Soundcloud upload, because the GIFs people posted are really beautiful. Thanks a lot anyway for the kind support, Bleo:)

I just... fell asleep. Woke up with my headphone cable around my head when I turned around and almost drop the laptop, though I'm on 3G right now so not enough time to upload. Can I have a link, please?

Thanks a lot, Aday!!! Now I will upload and fall completely KO on my bed ...
Hi WB Family
I just... fell asleep. Woke up with my headphone cable around my head when I turned around and almost drop the laptop, though I'm on 3G right now so not enough time to upload. Can I have a link, please?
Glad to see so many familiar faces again. I've been missing you all !!!
Looking forward to a year of bad scheduling and fifteen minute mastering sessions
Greetings from Spain, wishing you the greatest year !!!

After all Weeklybeats has been a more consistent presence in my life over the last decade than most of the other things I've tried my hand at.
I pretty much feel the same about this, almost word by word.
I do yet need to understand how Patreon works. WB has been a mayor creative driving force in my life and changed completely the way I approached music creation.
I thought about doing a series of podcast interviewing you guys. After all, you created Weeklybeats and many of you are demoscene/chiptune royalty. How this idea came to life in the first place?
For me this year was a continuous struggle with physical exhaustion. It affected me deeply and way beyond not being able to post for some weeks. I really really love making music, and I'd love to create some kind of regular compilation/podcast about what I've discovered here in Weeklybeats. There is so much music and so many talented artists, edition after edition of WB, that "this story", usually kept for a selected audience, should be told
I'm still on the road, with a couple of hours left before reaching my hotel. Can I ask for an upload in advance, please?. I'd love to finish this last month of WB

sleep tight! https://weeklybeats.com/music/upload?ha … 3f04235914
I'm posting this 3 weeks after my original post. I've literally been so busy I couldn't even check for this upload link.
Anyway, I wanted to thank you, Wisefire, and all the Weeklybeats family that keeps the site running.
This last month has been really hard personally and I'm struggling. WB means a lot to me, really.
Thanks again for keeping the lights on and everything running flawlessly
Hi! I'm uploading from free wifi on a guest house. My upload seemed to freeze half through, and I tried a couple of times until I run out of deadline time.
Can I have an upload link, please?. It means a lot to be back in WB again, after a forced 3 week hiatus
Aday wrote:Yeah....nah, none of these intentions happened.
There's still time right?
Hows everyone going @Thread?
I somehow managed to only miss two weeks in one of the busiest years ever in my adult life. Looking back, there are some sweet ideas there, thought I'm afraid it will be another year without my grandiose "Best of" album on Bandcamp 
Very happy to hear from the Weekly family every week, specially since I've been mostly absent from the comments. You guys are great!!!

Can I have a later upload link. I'd love to fix this mess, but I'm afraid I won't make it on time.
Thanks anyway
damn! that sucks! hope it turns out even better!

Thanks a lot, Wisefire. It was true hell to rescue this project. I was never a fan of the ReWire sync technology, though I think I stretched some things way too much and it created some kind of feedback loop or something. I ended with either noise or no audio at all rendered in some tracks and had to rebuild the instruments from scratch instead of "bouncing tracks" from Renoise to Ableton.
You saved me with the extra time to clean my mess out
