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 And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

Why is this being downvoted so much? It doesn't seem to be referring to 'generative AI', but rather algorithmic composition.

(Yet another valid term being ruined by techbros: generative. Like 'crypto' meant cryptography before shitcoin techbros ruined that word...)

probably for the exact reason you said; the title makes people think it's a positive 'how to' on Ai music.

i didnt click the link and thought it was about ai music until your comment. im probably not alone in that.

It's such a shame that only a minority of people who knew about generative music before the rise of "generative AI" can get the real meaning of the title.

I'm still wondering about what should be done in this case. Changing either term would be very cumbersome. Should we add a (non-AI) disclaimer to generative music instead?

i think just switching the word Generative to something else is enough. The issue is tons of ai stuff use generative, generate, generator...
