Welcome to Music Production@sh.itjust.works.
A place to share anything and everything you want about your music making journey! Learning is the goal, so discussion is encouraged!
Rules are as follows:
- Don't share other people's music without commentary, analysis or questions. This is not a music discovery community.
- No elitism or bigotry towards other people's music tastes. Be polite in disagreement.
We will update rules as necessary, but I promise we'll stay light on them and only add new ones after discussion!
Here are some useful examples of what a great post would be about:
(in no particular order)
- Stuff you made/are making. Get valuable feedback and criticism!
- Learning resources - videos, articles, posts on any topic concerning a production process, be it composition, sound design, sampling, mixing, mastering, DAW workflow or any other.
- Free plugins, presets and samplepacks. Giveaways and self-made stuff included!
- News about production software, releases and personalities.
- Questions and general advice about music production.
- Essays on your favorite productions. Inspirations and insights!
- Your physical analogue gear! Let us know how it performs!
Good to know: As a general word of caution, avoid posting complete compositions, mixes and tracks on the internet before backing them up on a remote and reputable server. Even small snippets or watermarked tracks should be posted AFTER backing it up to cloud. Timestamps from cloud services will help you in case of theft. And, as a public resource, Lemmy (and the broader fediverse) is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

Maybe I'll try Bitwig at some point, but this is (so far) not something I would want to spend a lot of money on. Maybe I can get some time in during the end of year holidays to try to get Ardour working again. I mostly want to be able to interface my instruments and run them through some nice plugins (I have not invested in some big suite already that would be difficult to play nicely, so I can start with whatever is easiest to get working - from before I've only ever briefly tried out Spitfire Audio through Garageband).
I recently discovered that I would not be able to do hook up the keyboard I was looking at in the way I had planned. The output sends all audio, including whatever comes in through the input, so I would just cause a feedback loop. So I would need a new speaker, or have to run it through my DI box (and then I might as well use a DAW for this).
I went for Rent-To-Own on Splice. It ended up being the best deal because I received all software and version updates for two years while I paid it off and now I own the software. That was a big selling point for me after Reason went subscription. I can stop paying now that's its paid off and keep that version of Bitwig forever while on Reason if I stopped paying I would lose access entirely.
That and Bitwig's stock devices and modules have made a lot of VSTs I used redundant.
Tbh I wouldn't have done it if I didn't get an older version through means and fell in love with it.
