How many of you are making your own music? (beehaw.org)

I'm a musician and have been a musician for over 10 years. Only recently in the past 4 or 5 years have I really gotten into recording myself on a DAW and if I'm being honest, I've gotten to a point where I can really make some stuff I enjoy. It's not always easy, but I can get some pretty banging tracks going.

this sub-lemmy is the only music related community I've seen so far, but I'm curious how many Lemmy users are also music makers? I produce in Ableton and Bitwig, and do everything from Alternative rock to ambiance, film scores, electronic synth stuff. Not going to share any links though because I don't want this to come off as a self promotional post

Really just curious if maybe theres enough of us to warrant some sort of sub-community for music creation chat.

I would love something to share and critique on. Is there and instance for songwriters?

I haven’t been able to find anything like this yet.

One thing I’ve noticed about a lot of Reddit music sharing communities is that they tend to be pretty devoid of useful feedback/community generally. People want to just drop their content and bounce.

If Lemmy were to have an instance for a music sharing community, I think it would need to be pretty heavily moderated.

I think it's tough to make a community like that which doesn't just turn into a self advertising platform. I also think it's harder to drive interest for a general community as opposed to more niche communities centered around a single genre. For example on Reddit, people often share their music in the hardcore community and lots of people listen / give feedback, moreso than I would see on "we are the music makers"
