Anyone into music production?

Most "talent" comes from practicing with effusive enthusiasm. If you're really into something, you do it a lot and you get far better at it than people who practice less. I played guitar for years and I loved it, so I played for hours upon hours. People told me that I had "talent," but I knew it was just because I holed myself up in my room for hours upon hours and practiced. I joined a band, played live, recorded and had at least 1 radio interview, but life soon got in the way of all of that.

Wow... Where can we listen to your songs now? And what was the name of the band, if you don't mind sharing?

No wonder I'm not getting good at anything these days.

I enjoy making this style of slow, melancholy heavy metal. Kind of like the Cure but with lots of distortion.

That's awesome! Where can we listen to your music?

I was wondering if there's anyone into music producing around here. Just curious.

I am just starting to dabble in the art.
Just need enough money to get a decent set of headphones and I will be away

Thanks   I've made a couple of tracks already, just messing around.
I have a couple of friends who do MP as a lifestyle so have been handed their old equipment. So looking forward to getting it all together and getting this music out of my head! Haha

Chilled and dark yet stirring.
I like it very much!
Thanks for sharing

One of my friends is into music production.

Kind of?
I never did totally figure out a DAW, but I messed around with them enough to grasp the concept of how they work.
Traditionally I'm a live musician, but I understand how production works in terms of technical science and audio engineering, I just can't do it myself.
DAWs feel like an airplane cockpit to me.
Plus I don't really have the hardware like I used to for them.
My external sound card is old, really old, like I'm surprised it's lasted 8 years old, and it kinda has a mind of its own and only works provided I don't keep ******* around with it old.
I've got little 8-inch monitors, nothing fancy, but it's still better sound quality than stock laptop speakers.

I've dipped my toes in the water a few times; trying to make midi music. No luck yet.

I produced a bunch of various pieces and songs, via electronic keyboard, piano and guitar. Nothing I’d share although my wife and I sung a song I wrote for my youngest daughter’s baptism in which I played the guitar. It was well received by all who attended.

I have acoustic ukulele , and I was video editor person before, so I know basic stuff of working in DAW. I might buy electric ukulele soon and start my own mini recordings on PC soon ....

I dabbled between 2006 and 2015, then spent some time learning Jeskola Buzz I had on a disc then made about 12hrs of experiements which were on cassette and have been since lost to my house clearance (rent arrears) but I managed to get about 4hrs online, Ive posted them in the "express yourself" area of this forum, all very amateuristic and just starting to get into it then bam, the grand architects decline management team appeared on the scene, so lost everything, my computer, 100s of vst/vsti in 32bit Win, lost £8k of vinyl, 1k cds, equipment, 1k of cassettes collected over 30 years, my clothes, furniture.
It was my turn to be legally plundered, but electronic music was a passtime I really enjoyed, worked hard in jobs to collect all the bits, controller, wav recorder, speakers, turntables, mixer, lost the lot to the mafia of mediocrity and their bingo boy bosses.

I still have all my equipment but no more space (I'm homeless). I get maybe 30 minutes in chunks of 5 minutes every day to "work" on some track ideas but that's not enough to finish anything. So I'm essentially only delaying the inevitable and waste my time whenever I open the sequencer.

 

[user 191197]

Maybe I upload some of my sketches and post links here. This forum would be a fitting gravestone for my work.

I try to keep up with my air guitar but I have to admit it's out of tune.

 

[user 191197]

I have to play my music in public next Sunday in "my" café because the waiter invited me to. I don't like that but there is no way out.

 

[Hoarse Whisperer]

I'm a little late to the party- where can I hear your music without going to your cafe?

Nowhere at the moment, it's not available on the web. All I have is unfinished demos, nothing ready to be released.
