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 am on windows, piracy is not a problem for me but there is this software cakewalk which is free but I don't know if it is good or shady.

Looking at Cakewalk right now, I would definitely recommend it over Audacity (which is pretty bare bones). Cakewalk looks a lot more like a full featured DAW with more capability. Doesn't seem shady to me, and if it's free it can't hurt to try it
