Musician content is too small here on lemmy I feel. So let's get to know each other a bit.

Just out of idle curiosity. I went to music school and teach at a local music shop, so I'm very familiar with music theory but I'm aware that my experience is most likely not the norm.

If you are familiar with any theory (even just scales and keys), where did you pick it up? Lots of the resources I've seen both in and outside of formal education can be both confusing, and it's often hard to see the application of what you learn in the short term.

Editing the MIDI notes of Suno's AI-generated song (in MP3 format) is incredibly hard. The notes are quite weird, and I'm starting to feel discouraged about making music.

Should I give up or what? I could really use some help. ☹️

I store playlists as m3u files, but sometimes I want to play it on an external device or send it over the network. The playlist references files using absolute paths, and they have various formats (wav, flac, mp3, ogg).

I would like to convert it into a single cue/flac, as if it were an album that I just ripped from CD (though it may be longer than 80min.) It would be acceptable to create a directory full of uniform flacs with appropriately adjusted metadata, again as if ripped from CD.

I would like to avoid writing intermediates to disk unnecessarily, and I would like to avoid GUI if possible, but the only hard requirement is that it run quickly (that is to say, faster than realtime.)

I set up my camera and forgot to hit record 😩

As an apology, enjoy vegas mode on the drumbrute impact.

Behringer Grind on lead with DBI and Edge on percussion.

What do you think of the mixing of this?

I run a little gaming server where we do story-based community events with some light RP. For this purpose it would be great to have a device that can store, play (and maybe even loop) audio files and connects to my little Yamaha AG03. It would be great if I could connect it to my PC via USB, too.

Unfortunately I don't have my little MP3 player anymore, which I could use. So I'm looking for something like a Steam Deck, but for audio only.

(Hope this community is right, the others seemed too specific in topic)

small house fires are no joke.

bluesky link if you're avoiding youtube

Here's a my session of a droneday.org drone on a Spice with Edge on percussion. Yah, I know percussion on a drone.

At work I'm proposing a member of the team attends a meeting remotely using some portable audio (maybe video) setup.

Tried looking up equipment or setups but had no luck. My current idea is some 5G thing for internet and a good mic/speaker combo that allows hearing most of what is going on within the meeting, probably a body mounted camera.

Valuable information for these meetings often happen in high noise environments. I think it's unrealistic no expect one mic to cover both a conference room setting and a high noise setting at once. I'd rather optimize for the first.

I'm ok with range limitations if the audio will have better quality in non ideal conference room setups.

I know video is out of scope here. But is there some mic (or combination of) that can be hooked up to some tablet/phone, and be used by a complete amateur to ensure the remotely attending person can listen and be heard decently clear?

I used to make music (specifically drum and bass / breakcore, with an industrial twist. Occasionally ambient music to change things up). I stopped for several reasons:

1. Life responsibilities
2. Self doubts about my skills, and other mental health stuff
3. FLStudio (my old DAW) doesn't run well on Linux, even through Wine Bottles.

It's been a couple years since 2022. Since then I'm in a better headspace + life is better + embraced Reaper, which runs like a dream on Linux.

The description of this community seems like it's ok with posters sharing their music, so here goes:

• Post hiatus stuff (only one song for now): https://soundcloud.com/speed-skirmish/sets/2025-mix
• 2020-2022 (all breakcore / drum and bass / IDMish): https:

I've been getting in to sampling more over the last couple of years, as I've moved to focus more on hip-hop. Really keen on grungy boom-bap beats, and I'm enjoying the workflow of having samples limit my knob tweaking.

I do find actually finding samples a struggle sometimes, and also knowing how and where to use them. Trial and error works, eventually, but sometimes the error part drags on and gets a bit off-putting. So I'm wondering about approaches or ways of thinking about it that might improve my hit rate.

Any thoughts/tips/questions/rants?

Edit: to be clear, I'm not only interest in hip-hop, or hip-hop suitable sampling approaches. I'm interested in sampling methods for any scenario.

I really like this guitar-ish sound. It scratches that itch for me as a keyboard player who yearns to know how to play guitar.

I'm very happy with my fake guitar sound.

Hey folks! Given that we are on Lemmy I was hoping to start a discussion on what platforms are good for showcasing your music.

I currently use SoundCloud and even though I'm pretty happy with it I'm curious if you guys recommend some other tools. I was considering for example spinning up my own website, but I think that it might be just a good way of 'building legitimacy' and not really a making it easier for listeners to discover my work.

Thanks!

Like td you can set certain variables if it hits this frequency do this, if its this loud do this, can any dj software do that with nodes? So you can have procedural setups for mixing music that you can manually tweak or have presets?

Like is there a touch designer for playing with audio and effecting the audio not making visuals basically?

i made this on my modular setup but i ran out of time to record video. ill do video soon enough.

I got a Yamaha MG10XU after figuring out that Line 6 isn't class compliant USB audio interface.
