Music discussion is very lacking here for. Compared to reddit. And yeah I know, ‘just post then’. But when I search for music communities here they’re empty. And it makes sense because no-one is posting. So kind of a catch 22.

now i dont exactly know how all this lemmy stuff works but… to all you musos out there, can you join me and search for music under communities (I’m using summit app) and just at a minimum subscribe to all the ones that you would be interested in(if they were popping off)?

At least that way when one of us posts, the rest of us will actually see it (I suspect).

Anyway. Keep making the world more fun for everyone else.

P.s if your not a musician, but you like golf or something, subscribe to the golf communities even if they’re empty.

    that’s fine but it also kind of sounds terrible or too “plastic”, I’m thinking of buy an electric drum set and learning drums and through learning I’ll be able to pick through the samples I like using and in turn that ends up kind of pre-mixing some of my drum recordings (if it gets to that)

    I know what you mean though, I’m on Linux so the options for those I’m not sure is the same as windows. addictive drums might just not work

      I can offer a little advice on the programmed drums: mess with the velocities of each hit. It’ll never quite sound like a real drummer, of course, but it can sound way less mechanical than it does by default. The best thing is that you do not neeed to be orecise about it whatsoever, because being a little random about it is actually more like a real drummer would be. Use them to emphasise and de-emphasise specific notes, or ramp fills up or down. It makes a huge difference

      I’m slowly moving to linux. Haven’t checked if addictive drums works there yet. I don’t know if you just assumed they sound plastic but it actually slaps I think. No one has ever told me my drums sound like shit.

        I’ve used lots of drum VSTs in my experience they take a lot of tweaking to sound right but it might be the tism making me feel that way, also I didn’t mean to say they sounded like shit, just not organic.

        Cant speak to that specific software, but Linux has tons of FOSS music software. There are several right on Flat Hub even.
