Please see most recent Meta community post here: On machine learning generative models


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:

  1. Don't share other people's music without commentary, analysis or questions. This is not a music discovery community.
  2. 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)

  1. Stuff you made/are making. Get valuable feedback and criticism!
  2. 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.
  3. Free plugins, presets and samplepacks. Giveaways and self-made stuff included!
  4. News about production software, releases and personalities.
  5. Questions and general advice about music production.
  6. Essays on your favorite productions. Inspirations and insights!
  7. 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 And, as a public resource, Lemmy (and the broader fediverse) is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

A DAW will want hardware access and wine hardware drivers don’t really exist

I've read in the past that some DAWs like FL Studio run quite well in Wine, but I've never tried it myself. I agree that it's best just to use a native Linux DAW.

Seems FL Studio has some gold and even platinum ratings:

I liked the old name FruityLoops more, I guess it was too playful and toy-like, but FL Studio is just a crappy name imho.

They apparently had a pretty big negative stigma in the audio production world as just that; a toy for un-serious amateurs, or only useful for making beats or loops, instead of as a more general DAW for other genres.
