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:

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 And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

I love Sia's, to my ear, it almost sounds evocative of that Native American thing where they rapidly oscillate their hand in front of their mouth while vocalilizing, often accelerating. Its intoxicating

Anyone second the Native American doing that hand yodelly sound thing?

I really like Danyka Nadeau's voice

Brandi Carlile. Her SNL performance of Right On Time is one of my favorite examples.

Yes, Brandi has got a lovely vibrato!

LP, aka Laura Pergolizzi. They're amazing in general, and is better known as a songwriter than a singer really, but their vibrato is just nuts.

Your use of non-gendered pronouns in this context is incredibly confusing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Nope, that's their preferred pronouns. No confusion at all, once you get used the the idea of the singular they/them. It does take getting used to if you weren't in the habit of talking about unknown persons or aren't familiar with modern usage for trans, non binary, and related language.

I specified their legal name, which afaik is still what they use in general as an individual apart from their life as an artist. So you know I'm referring to a single individual by that, even if we weren't on a post about singers with good vibrato, which could include groups of vocalists, but would require specification of it being a group.

LP has a stage moniker that is confusing because LP can refer to multiple things within the music industry. So there is always the extra step of giving their actual name when recommending them. But I have never, once, had anyone confused by using their preferred pronouns before this. I've had people pretend to be confused and then get angry that I just informed them of the above, instead of arguing with them about respecting pronouns, but nobody that didn't understand that I was referring to the singer that was the topic of discussion.
