The one time I'm actively hoping for them to cancel a show they don't. What the fuck are they even thinking? I'd rather have another season of live action Cowboy Bebop than a season of Witcher without Henry. Watching the last three episodes of that show I'll ever watch as I type this.

It's been bugging me all day how I know that name and I just remembered. They were on this show and it's fucking awesome.

Weird. I was going to recommend trying !liveaudio@lemmy.world but that didn't work for me. I finally got it with https://lemmy.world/c/liveaudio but liveaudio should work as well now that I've subscribed.

Spinning on the sign-up.

Is there still that bug where validating email doesn't work?

My instance is on 0.17.4 and I completely gave up on trying to get that to work.

Hahahah...that is pretty rad. I looked through some of the guides and saw you're limited to 100,000 a year. Hope that's enough :D.

I suppose if someone was just cranking out generative tunes that wouldn't be too hard.

That's good to know. Seems required for Distrokid but not CDBaby. Have you used BeatStars at all?

Have you thought about how you’re going to release it?

I've done a little research but have been putting that off so I can focus on what we have left to finish. We still have a lot of artwork to do as well. Album cover, some videos, some historical fiction writing for our websites.

We'll either use CDBaby or Distrokid but probably CDBaby. I like the idea of paying once instead of a yearly fee to keep stuff online. I don't expect to make much (or any) money on this but I'm going to invest in it and do it right just in case. I'd hate to put it out there and miss out on those fractions of pennies trickling in.

Several articles I read about releasing music suggested setting up a publishing company to retain more control of the royalties. Is that something you did?

Tons of great samples in there. Nice score!

Looking forward to their tour.

I suspect many of you have seen this one and/or the first one, Becky (2020). Curious to know all your thoughts.

It started about 5 minutes ago. AMA or give me spoilers.

Update: I rescind the AMA. I don't know what the fuck that was and would like to forget it.

My money is on the cat.

I'm still learning the ropes of this thing but I've gotten really good at finding communities. What I haven't done much is comment and browse. Now that I'm happy with the amount of subscriptions I've added it's time to start commenting and upvoting everything I see. I didn't notice this thread until now so I guess it's the best place to start.

Like many people I'm a reddit refugee. My plans are to delete my 15yo account and not look back. I don't care if they fix what's wrong with the place. Honestly, I don't think they can. A decentralized internet was what was great about the internet before and it makes no sense to embrace anything else.

So... about me... I've been an amateur musician most of my life and have never released an album. Two years ago I got laid off from my software job and decided to spend time getting more into what I'm passionate about before hopping back into a paying job. My band is working on a weird synth-pop/rap album so I've been researching mixing/mastering for a while. Hoping to release something before the end of the summer.

My main DAW for the past 15 years has been Ardour but I recently switched to Reaper because that's what the rest of the band was familiar with. I started the Reaper community here so I'll posting there when I see interesting and relevant information. I've always been more of a lurker/upvoter than a poster or moderator so it's kind of cool to be on a smaller community where I think there's even a chance someone will read something I've posted.

Thanks for hosting, Beto!

I started playing banjo about month ago! Want to co-moderate a banjo community here?

 

Anyone else use Sitala or have any experience with the new version?

 

Reaper Mania has a new video about amp sims.

 

Since I'm in the process of deleting my 15yo. reddit account I decided to start organizing communities I hope to see grow here. There was not already an existing community so I thought this would be the right instance for it because of its focus on music and music production.

If you are a moderator of the old subreddit and would like to take this over then just let me know.

I'd be happy to not be the only moderator (or a moderator at all).
