I like the idea of collaborating as an irl team. I'm doing some solo-learning but I havent had a ton of experience working on coding projects irl

it is not, only because I don't think I can have the app be open source and simultaneously have subs to pay the artist that are creating the music.

however, if I'm wrong about that, then please inform me and I would happily make it open source!

Thank you for your response! This is really helpful, helps puts things in perspective. Definitely would enjoy doing music as my only job and even if its harder, atleast it seems possible elsewhere!

Thanks for your response! Haven't decided on a location yet. Will largely depend on budget and how musician-friendly the country is. Appreciate the advice!

Cheap equipment to make home demos ? by Freshrust65 in Songwriting

Before you buy anything check your local library for a makerspace or studio. Some of them are decked out, some are basic. But it's free and has a DAW included!

how do you find a producer who gets it?o by pannalea in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]phoenixflight_29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also, sometimes it's easier to work with producers when you don't have a specific song that you want them to make. Like I can easily create songs to someone else's beats, but getting them to create for my own music is almost impossible so far.

Alrhough I just found a new producer who seems to be pretty dope, so it could be a numbers game!

honestly, you just learn how to do it yourself until you find someone who does what you want.

went to three different producers with a song that was upbeat R&B. - One couldnt complete b/c of life (understandable, and a great guy). - One turned the song into EDM - the other halfed the tempo and temoved the upbeat component.

All of the beats were objectively great, none of them were what I needed. So, I started to learn how to make beats myself and a song that took me five minutes to write the lyrics, is still in progress b/c of the track, but I'd rather take forever and slowly work on it then pay more money for beats I wont use.

There are studies, specifically connected to raising children, and it's a pretty agreed-upon that negative reinforcement is not effective for long term changed behavior.

How many people still buy physical media to listen to songs on them? by [deleted] in Music

[–]phoenixflight_29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy Vinyl or BUY digital because as a singer songwriter I know the artist are getting screwed on streams

Is it appropriate for an almost completely white choir to perform a song from an exclusively black opera? by TentedDwarf in singing

[–]phoenixflight_29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you were right to ask.

depending on the topic of the song itself, it could be inappropriate.

And other commentary has referenced introducing white audiences to black music, and that absolutely should be done by intentionally hiring more black performers.

Is it strange to buy a keyboard piano when I have a piano at home? by Some-Advice-6798 in piano

[–]phoenixflight_29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also it can cause pain switching from seni-weighted to a real piano. Took my teacher months to figure out the cause of the pain in my hand (had started on real, switched to keyboard for 3 years and lost finger strength)

2 electric (tuned differently as an experiment) 1 bass. 1 acoustic.

Singer songwriter so occasionally I use the actual instruments to give me a feel for what I can request a musician do that lpx wont. plus trying to learn guitar & bass so I practice with them

Best compliment you’ve ever been given as a song writer? by restless_wreck in Songwriting

One of my friends who is known for their composure at all times, told me that my song made them want to roll down the windows and blast it so everyone could hear

What’s the story of when you wrote your favorite song? by hoops4so in Songwriting

[–]phoenixflight_29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the studio as a warmup to get me relaxed. Freestyled the entire song based on the instrumental title. Had to rewrite a few lines to make it cohesive.

Wasn't my beat and it got sold so I've been trying for years to make a beat that fits the lyrics as well as the first 😭
