Music Production
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:
- 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 And, as a public resource, Lemmy (and the broader fediverse) is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

That may be the case, but it seems to come down to the same chicken & the egg problem that most proprietary vs. free software has had to overcome. Proprietary software usually can offer a smoother UX because there isn't enough development of the FLOSS alternative, which is caused by a lack of users (and thus the potential pool of developers and financial donors) to motivate that UX becoming more polished.
For most, the lock-in of proprietary software was tolerable because it was at worst an inconvenience at times, or only incurred a semi-reasonable cost. But we're seeing that as investors demand enshittification, staying in those comfortable lock-ins will inevitably result in further pain down the road as the user is squeezed further and further with more invasive DRM restrictions, more features being locked behind paywalls, and intolerable subscriptions with ever increasing monthly dues.
At some point people will need to choose between continuing the use of lock-in software for continued comfort in the short term, or biting the bullet and developing/using the less comfortable FLOSS option to encourage it to become comfortable by dog-fooding it. We can see when that finally happens, it is able to out compete the lock-in options to the benefit of us all (Blender, Godot, and Krita are good examples).
But that's just my 2 cents.
