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:

  1. Don't share other people's music without commentary, analysis or questions. This is not a music discovery community.
  2. 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)

  1. Stuff you made/are making. Get valuable feedback and criticism!
  2. 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.
  3. Free plugins, presets and samplepacks. Giveaways and self-made stuff included!
  4. News about production software, releases and personalities.
  5. Questions and general advice about music production.
  6. Essays on your favorite productions. Inspirations and insights!
  7. 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 And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.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 like it, but tend to forget it exists until it's mentioned/played

Furniture music as in elevator music or Muzak ?

I don’t know if I’d put Satie in that category personally !

I think that furniture music has it’s uses and moments. Furniture music isn’t just one genre imo, it’s more based on context. Ambient music was somewhat made to be background music, like Brian Eno’s Music For Airports, but many people listen to it attentively. For example a jazz band playing at a cocktail reception can be background music and a ambient concert can be the main event, and the opposite is true, a jazz gig as the main event and ambient music as a background for an event or exposition. Another example is the lofi hip-hop to study to playlists, great example of furniture music with a purpose.
