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 think it is super confusing when it comes to recording on a computer. The sheer amount of stuff you need to get is overwhelming. Plus, depending on your operating system and software it can be a nightmare.

I have a friend who got TASCAM DP-006 6-Track Digital Pocketstudio (sorry for what seems like an advertisement, I just like being precise) and it bypasses all the bullshit obstacles that goes into just recording stuff. It run on batteries, has a microphone and stereo jack input. Super easy to use.

I am seriously considering getting one, but I already have a couple of computer based solutions I feel like all I do is spend my money. Still, it might be what I need to finally learn what I actually sound like, and finally start improving.
