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.
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 can’t play music but want to play WITH music, I’d recommend getting a groovebox like the Novation Circuit (original or Circuit Tracks). It gives you 2 synthesizers and 4 drum parts in one small, battery-powered box, with a sensible note/pattern sequencer. It’s limited, but there are a lot of resources online for using it, and it’s cheap if you buy used. Great fun to sit on the couch and make tunes.
There are also groovebox apps for iOS (like Grooverider GR-16) that do the same and sound great for less money.
What I’m saying is: music creation is more accessible than ever these days, so never tell yourself you can’t do it.
Nice, perhaps I’ll have a play! Thanks!
If you learn how to market indie bands. They’ll let you play anything you want.
