How many musicians we got here on Lemmy?
-
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.
I play classical style guitar. I joined a community here, but I was the only post.
I agree that it's rough out there finding communities with common interests.

Do you have any recorded music uploaded on bandcamp or similar? If not, you should!

I play guitar, piano and bass? recently got one and started building basic competency skills.
I've been playing for like 15 years, terrible still but that's what makes it fun for me.
I'm interested in recording things but just get too overwhelmed with thinking about using midi drums or synths, the fun part for me is playing over things not necessarily mixing and mastering them. It is something I'm overall interested in.

Have a look at 'addictive drums' it has a bunch of preset midi grooves that you can play along to and mix and match. It's pretty plug and play and may be a comfy way into dipping your toes into midi

Please join more. Even if they are empty. That way one day there will be 40 people who have joined and people naturally start talking. My Lemmy inbox has 40 unread messages now. We are here, we just don't have a spot yet. So search for music, guitar, your local area, and sub to the empty communities that you'd like to see filled and active.

Long time musician here!
Back in Reddit days I did prawl through music-making related communities, but found that discussion tended to stick to pretty trivial spheres. Figured that general music maker communities don't work. You want jazz drumming / pure data / microtonal techniques level specialised communities to keep it interesting. Otherwise it's just 'recommend a beginner-friendly daw' over and over.
There are some good ones on reddit that I still frequent because I'm not seeing it here yet. Like /r/livesound is amazing for audio engineering. I know these nerds(like me) gotta be here. But I don't hear from them. So we gotta put a lil effort in and start somewhere.
-
I'm something of a musician myself, and it saddens me that I can't find any active music production or audio engineering communities on Lemmy.
BTW, would be interesting having a community dedicated to free licensed/copyleft/0cc/creative commons/non profit music.
They're only 'not active' because no one has subbed yet. That's what this post is about. I don't know what the critical mass number is but even a community that reaches 10 is something. The more you sub to, the more instances it gets posted to. The more people see it, comment and sub.
Just( who ever is reading this) take 5 mins and start subbing to your interests. Instead of waiting for the community to assemble itself.

*waves hello to fellow music nerds*
Anyway, here's 'Smoke on the Water' on a harpsichord
Bro. Where's the link!

Man, I wish.
I can't sing. I can't play any instrument. I have no sense of timing (I can't always even clap along in time). If I ever do end up being part of a band it's going to be as their manager since I'm now too old to be a roadie. But I wish I could, I dunno, play guitar enough to jam or be a part of an totally average local band.
If you learn how to market indie bands. They'll let you play anything you want.

I make music and have released them on streaming platforms. I’m subscribed to most of the music, music production, and music genre communities in the fediverse.
Hell yeah!
-
I’m a semi-professional choral singer! I very frequently sing on a volunteer basis in a symphony chorus with a professional orchestra. And also sing with a smaller 12-person choir, really tight harmonies and blending. It’s a lot of fun.
Sometimes I get paid, but that’s rare.
I’ve gotten to sing some pretty awesome stuff (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, video game concerts, Verdi’s Requiem, etc. etc. etc.) and gotten to meet some pretty cool people (including my wife)!
Ey nice! What kind of music communities would you like to see on Lemmy?

I'm a bassist in a few bands. Wish there was more bass discussion here on Lemmy.
If you're into prog rock, check out one of my band's songs: frog rock

Thank you for getting the rest of us started. It is tricky Lemmy being so fragile. Hopefully the synth community will find its footing again somehow.
-
Subbed! Thanks I missed that one
-
Check out the jazz community and for goodness sake, post
Or at the very minimum, reply.
-
Why talk about it when you could bee
practicing or playing. most discussions feel like people who don't like it enough to practice and so theyeare not good and in turn are 'blind leading blind'i play mandolin, at an okay. I dabble in many other things.
Because I'm in bed next to my sleeping wife and I wanna support the community and maybe reply to help someone on their musical journey.
-
Pro or no. I'm looking for people with the spark for music. It sounds like you are getting your feet wet as a generalist. Singing and lryicism is my main, but I dabble in the rest to pull together recordings of what's in my head. Nice to meet you. What communities would you like to see more active on Lemmy. And have you subbed to similar ones already?
-
I sing and play folk music on the guitar and early music on lute and recorder (my favorite size is the tenor).
Have you found any Lemmy communities for folk music yet?
-
I'm already subbed to a few comms but I'd take recommendations on what I should be following
What kinda stuff you into? Maybe search for your specific instrument and sub even if it's empty. The more people that do this the more we can find each other.
