This is Music Production. A place to share anything and everything you want about your music making journey! Learning is the goal, so discussion is encouraged!

RIP Waveform.

Rules are as follows:

Don't share other people's music without commentary, analysis or questions. This is not a music discovery community.
No elitism or bigotry towards other people's music tastes. Be polite in disagreement.

I will update rules as necessary, but I promise we'll stay light on them and only add new ones after discussion!

Here are some useful examples of what a great post would be about:

(in no particular order)

Stuff you made/are making. Get valuable feedback and criticism!
Learning resources - videos, articles, posts on any topic concerning a production process, be it composition, sound design, sampling, mixing, mastering, DAW workflow or any other.
Free plugins, presets and samplepacks. Giveaways and self-made stuff included!
News about production software, releases and personalities.
Questions and general advice about music production.
Essays on your favorite productions. Inspirations and insights!
Your physical analog gear! Let us know how it performs!

Good to know: As a general word of caution, avoid posting complete compositions, mixes and tracks on the internet before backing them up on a remote and reputable server. Even small snippets or watermarked tracks should be posted AFTER backing it up to cloud. Timestamps from cloud services will help you in case of theft. And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

I don’t think there’s a way to do a proper poll so if you don’t see your DAW mentioned in a top level comment, make the comment to the post. If it’s already listed, maybe just upvote it? That way we can get a representation of what DAWs are more among subscribers here.

I’m curious just because it’s always neat to hear what people use and how, but also to see how possible tuts or techniques can be explained in a way more people will understand. Or provide a variety of examples for various DAWs.

EDIT: Actually, I don’t know the best way to list the ones I use without making a few comments to this post. I’ll just upvote them if I see them listed.

Reaper! I love it and would (probably) never switch.

Top choice IMO. Runs beautifully everywhere, and more features just keep on coming...

I tried reaper years ago when it was still in its infancy. Maybe I need to try it again.

I'd recommend giving it a spin for sure. They've been consistently adding features that make different things easier to do. It's crazy flexible and if there's a setup you want, someone has probably made it work before. And it's free to try, with an installation that takes like five seconds.

I got started with some YT tuts on getting it setup and have been running it for the past day. I’m starting by cloning my main Pro Tools template into Reaper and so far… holy shit.

I can honestly say that I’ve slept on this DAW and understand why it has the following and support it does. I can make it my DAW. I have the chance to work on a new project with it today so let’s see how that goes.

Awesome! Make sure to spread the gospel of Reaper. If you're looking for more tutorials, Kenny Gioia is a master and has done videos on almost everything there is involving Reaper. There's also the Let's Talk About Reaper channel which is pretty good for more specific things.
