Point and case, here's a new one. http://www.livetweak.com/
Give me a break, man. I launched my site two days ago.

Don't worry, there will be plenty of patches soon enough.
Hey Decepto,

I didn't say anything bad about it.
I was just handing out a link of a new rack site.

There's also:

http://www.abletonlivedj.com/index.php? ... &Itemid=31
http://live.raketemensch.com/
http://www.trackteamaudio.com/forum/php ... um.php?f=9
http://www.ableton-live-fans.com/forum/ ... y.php?f=30
http://www.sonictransfer.com/forum/drumstack-f9.html

What I meant is this:
The problem is not the lack of motivation or good intentions. Its lack of exposure.
A site that has regular updates gets more visitors.
Some of these sites even have very nice collections and racks that remain updated.
Your site actually looks the most functional I might add.
No news, no clutter.. Just presets :) Nice job.

Maybe check up with Jasinski. He's doing a fine job with maintaining the rack list.
I'm sure he'll know what to do with some hosting space.

Cheers

- Bjorn

My bad. I must have misread. Thanks for the compliments.

My goal is to provide a user community site driven by the users needs. So if the users don't want something, it won't be implemented. If they ask for something, I'll deliver.

Right now, I'm trying to keep the visual design as minimal as possible so that I can concentrate on usability and functionality. I'll take a look at those other sites you listed and see if there are any lessons I can learn.

Edit: I should also mentioned that I've programmed the web app running the site from scratch. Hopefully this will allow me to meet the users needs better. I've taken a quick look at the other sites and they all seem to be using some sort of turnkey scripts. Those are great in that they are easy to get up and running. The problem is that they are usually too generalized to solve a specific problem for a specific community.
