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:

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

Stuff you made/are making. Get valuable feedback and criticism!
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.
Free plugins, presets and samplepacks. Giveaways and self-made stuff included!
News about production software, releases and personalities.
Questions and general advice about music production.
Essays on your favorite productions. Inspirations and insights!
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 And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

How does mood interact with the listener's current emotional state? (lemmy.world)

Like, if you're sad and you listen to sad music, what does mood tend towards as a result of the emotional interplay with the music? Does it alter the expression of the current or previous mood to some end or what exzctly do you think is happening?

Does it actually change the mood or create a sort of emotional chord progression that tends towards resolution or creating a new emotional tonic?

If I listen to upbeat music it definitely boosts my mood. But, I feel the reverse is a little more complicated.

When I listen to sad music and I’m feeling down, I honestly feel something different. Maybe not happiness, but contentment, because of shared experience.

A shared experience of pain or hardship with that artist that gives a different kind of fulfillment through understanding.
