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 started writing music when I took a college class that required us to download Finale Notepad, a free composition software. Back in those days I just wrote tiny little "sketches" and fragments of ideas, but more than ten years later and I'm now writing full compositions, usually classical-inspired, but sometimes in other genres and styles. I switched to writing in Musescore which is also free but has better digital instruments and also has more versatility
