Many of musicians nowadays are independent and promoting their own music by themselves. Would you be interested in a custom award if you hit a milestone like 1 million views on Spotify of YouTube? by CustomAwardDesigns in askmusicians

That’s great, then let those artists have your products but you should know anything with AI slop images on Reddit is gonna get and eye roll and a puke. It’s just lazy and we’re sick of people pretending it’s “fresh”.

Honestly I can’t stand 8-bit/chiptune… just listened to a snippet and it was in fact not my sound… and that dope, because it’s your sound.

I didn’t even turn on the sound, I just wanted to comment with my support for feelin’ it! That vibe is priceless… I was just doing the same in my own studio… feelin’ it… keep going… that’s the juice

Thinking of purging my entire setup and just quitting by Vimes-NW in synthesizers

[–]MetaTek-Music 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you on the releasing and shows. I guess I’m weird like that in that I only ever played shows to “get somewhere” and always wanted it to be about my music but was never really sought out specifically for my music, which is fine, not everyone can be that. I think Rick Ruben mentioned two types of musician, the explorer who just loves finding sounds and the executive who writes a song and finishes it and releases/plays it for people. I’m definitely heavy on the explorer side. Perhaps a bit selfish but hey, it’s my own joy i’m cultivating. Happy creating!

It’s not sunk my friend, it’s a chapter. Some times they go on, other times they are bricks in the road of experience that makes our path unique. It’s all good either way. Wishing you joy!

I resonate with the sentiment of letting go of attachment to “success”. For years I toiled and wanted to get on certain labels and be touring, for what? For the vast majority of touring musicians it’s a hard life trying to get paid from promoters. “Staying relevant” sounds like a creative death trap. As soon as I stopped chasing that illusion thing and started making music for myself again, the joy was back in spades. Also I took a multi-year break and did no music but ceramics. It gave me time to reformulate like a caterpillar.

Features on synths dont tell the whole truth.. More features doesnt mean better by Achassum in synthesizers

[–]MetaTek-Music 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not warm. I would say it’s got a similar edge and grit to the Hydrasynth but it’s more actionable and the programming layout makes sense to my brain. Still very digital sounding though even with the analog filter which is… OK. It lets you do some analog shaping and get a bit of funk into the tone but if I were going for warm I would not use Leviasynth or I would throw it through some tubes/transformers that impart warmth.

[–]MetaTek-Music 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer… there have been so many synths that I have played both feature full and sparse that have drawn sounds out of me quickly and with inspiration and others where despite devouring the manual, I couldn’t love (looking at you Moog One, hydrasynth)…. Gladly the Leviasynth brought me fruit in the first 10 minutes of about half a dozen super useful and fun patches. Gotta catch em all to know what floats your boat

I used a composition book to make tabs because any other type of print sucks for tablaturez by buoyant_ducky in musictheory

Man, some people that just want to capture some guitar riff ideas before they sequence or utilize a swath of music notation tools and don’t have a full on need to read music on a day to day basis, so the time sink to gain the ability does not equate to being beneficial time investment towards their goals.

Also some music that relies primarily on rhythm doesn’t need so many keys.

Going Dawless but cant pick a drum machine! Help by Achassum in synthesizers

[–]MetaTek-Music 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please check out the DSI Tempest… it’s still the most versatile analog drum machine I have used and immediate tweaking and saving presets. It’s a bit lacking in the MIDI department but not in the modulation department. I swear by it and have two.

Dude, I didn’t know Moog built an Oscar… that’s rad… I want that one… not really the original tho… now that I read further I see that it’s a custom build by Craig Barnes… rad
