Music Production
This is Music Production. A place to share anything and everything you want about your music making journey! Learning is the goal, so discussion is encouraged!
RIP Waveform Social | RIP Lemmy Studio
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.
I 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 analog 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 And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

Are we talking about a key change "modulation" or some modulation on synthesizer or fx parameters?
So if we could address both that might be good. Key change, i made my comments above which I wouldnt mind your thoughts on.
Re:fx parameters, I would love to discuss those a lot more. What do you know about parameter modulations and envelopes?
So glad you threw in the word parameters, im actually dying to learn and talk way more about those
When folks call key change a modulation, what comes to my mind is the 70s disco gimmick to go one semitone up with the key on the last chorus.
Modulation in music theory is a lot more than the "truck driver's gear shift".
A good example is the Sonata form, which is underrated for modern music, but it actually engages the listener throughout, which is exactly what is needed to avoid having to resort to endless repetition and silly gear shifts.
