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 don't make music, I make occasionally rhythmic and melodic noise.

I honestly would love to get into making music. I have been playing guitar badly for like 2 decades, and I would love to record the abominations I come up with.

Hell, besides owning a Focusrite Solo, I got a Boss GX 100 that I adore, which is just so amazing compared to the Zoom multieffects I messed with before.

I need to figure out how to dual boot linux so I can use a distro dedicated for music making, with Jack setup and a realtime kernel.

I also like messing with synths. Not great with keys, but who needs to be on a chromatic instrument?
