I’m a musician and have been a musician for over 10 years. Only recently in the past 4 or 5 years have I really gotten into recording myself on a DAW and if I’m being honest, I’ve gotten to a point where I can really make some stuff I enjoy. It’s not always easy, but I can get some pretty banging tracks going.
this sub-lemmy is the only music related community I’ve seen so far, but I’m curious how many Lemmy users are also music makers? I produce in Ableton and Bitwig, and do everything from Alternative rock to ambiance, film scores, electronic synth stuff. Not going to share any links though because I don’t want this to come off as a self promotional post
Really just curious if maybe theres enough of us to warrant some sort of sub-community for music creation chat.
I think it’s tough to make a community like that which doesn’t just turn into a self advertising platform. I also think it’s harder to drive interest for a general community as opposed to more niche communities centered around a single genre. For example on Reddit, people often share their music in the hardcore community and lots of people listen / give feedback, moreso than I would see on “we are the music makers”
