Tons of great samples in there. Nice score!
My money is on the cat.
I'm still learning the ropes of this thing but I've gotten really good at finding communities. What I haven't done much is comment and browse. Now that I'm happy with the amount of subscriptions I've added it's time to start commenting and upvoting everything I see. I didn't notice this thread until now so I guess it's the best place to start.
Like many people I'm a reddit refugee. My plans are to delete my 15yo account and not look back. I don't care if they fix what's wrong with the place. Honestly, I don't think they can. A decentralized internet was what was great about the internet before and it makes no sense to embrace anything else.
So... about me... I've been an amateur musician most of my life and have never released an album. Two years ago I got laid off from my software job and decided to spend time getting more into what I'm passionate about before hopping back into a paying job. My band is working on a weird synth-pop/rap album so I've been researching mixing/mastering for a while. Hoping to release something before the end of the summer.
My main DAW for the past 15 years has been Ardour but I recently switched to Reaper because that's what the rest of the band was familiar with. I started the Reaper community here so I'll posting there when I see interesting and relevant information. I've always been more of a lurker/upvoter than a poster or moderator so it's kind of cool to be on a smaller community where I think there's even a chance someone will read something I've posted.
Thanks for hosting, Beto!
I started playing banjo about month ago! Want to co-moderate a banjo community here?
Slap a goatee on Mike and have him take the lead roll in All-Star.
I've seen similar videos but I feel like I actually understand this concept now.
I'm going to start telling "yo mama" jokes that use the fifth dimension in the punchline.
I've done a little research but have been putting that off so I can focus on what we have left to finish. We still have a lot of artwork to do as well. Album cover, some videos, some historical fiction writing for our websites.
We'll either use CDBaby or Distrokid but probably CDBaby. I like the idea of paying once instead of a yearly fee to keep stuff online. I don't expect to make much (or any) money on this but I'm going to invest in it and do it right just in case. I'd hate to put it out there and miss out on those fractions of pennies trickling in.
Several articles I read about releasing music suggested setting up a publishing company to retain more control of the royalties. Is that something you did?
