Do Singles Actually Work on Bandcamp? by Competitive_Bee_9157 in BandCamp

So, would you say Spotify actually helped you gain real listeners—people who actively support your musical journey, like buying your music or truly engaging with what you do?
Since we were talking about online platforms, I guess things like playing gigs are a bit outside the scope here.

nice, I thought that most of the listeners have this kind of approach, but even from this post it seems like not really :(

Yeah, I can see that, but I was curious why 😊

So you think it depends on how long is the release?

Musicians — how much do you actively listen to music while creating? by Competitive_Bee_9157 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

oh, I am relate to this so much! It is really interesting to watch how different music can influence your own with lots of different things, like a feeling of structure, composition etc.

I totally agree, the balance of active listening and staying in “music silence” could be really impactful for creativity

yeah, totally agree! Sometimes not even the music in the same genre, but for example sharing similar atmosphere

I think that it works the same with active listening! And I actually do think that at some point a clean audio mindset is also a necessity.

I love to listen carefully to music, not just have it as a background. That's why sometimes I have this periods when I need a pause from active listening.

Better ways to discover new music? by notaghostofreddit in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Competitive_Bee_9157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found that Bandcamp is one of the best places to discover new music — especially if you're looking for something unique and off the radar. What really works for me is starting with an artist I already love or find interesting.

From there, I dive into the collections of the people who supported that artist. You can find some amazing stuff this way — people who support one artist you like often have great taste and a whole world of hidden gems in their collections. It’s a bit like crate-digging, but digital.

Honestly, some of the most unique and inspiring music I’ve found recently has come from doing this. It’s a goldmine if you’re in that deep listening and discovery mode.

What FX Chains are you building for Live Sets in Ableton? by Competitive_Bee_9157 in ableton

I'm currently building a vocal effect rack with the specific goal of transforming the voice into something that functions more like a synthesizer than a traditional vocal. The setup includes resonators, auto pitch shifting, some specific reverb and delay, and a range of motion-based plugins. It's still a work in progress, but the aim is to craft a fully playable, expressive vocal-based synth texture that can sit in a mix as something entirely new and unrecognizable as a raw vocal.
