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 Social | RIP Lemmy Studio

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 And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

Emphasis on compactness, in theory infinite surface area is ok but limited space-taking-up and litheness is the ideal

I have a Bose Soundlink Mini (I have the first generation one, but the new gen looks similar). Sound is clear and balanced at high volumes, though placement matters for that as well.

I have a Bose SoundTouch 10 and I really like it but I feel like there's some truth to the "No highs? No lows? Must be Bose" saying.

I feel like the range is better on my wife's Sony SRS-XB31.

Portable as in wireless? I think that JBL monstrosity takes the first spot, but it's not exactly good in terms of overall sound quality. It's just mostly amped bass.

Now if you're looking to go really small I've got a Sonos Roam 2 which is pretty good. Don't expect it to be thunderous in the bass department.

I feel like you’ve summed up my portable speaker experience pretty well: it can be loud and emphasize only bass, or loud with effectively no bass, and there’s not really a middle ground. Some have apps with basic equalizers, but that’s usually a price point thing. I’d honestly just go to Best Buy and try out what they have on the shelf to see how you like it vs how much size you’re willing to go with.
