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 And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

you have probably heard of this one but dexed is available for linux and is meant as a dx series synth, you can find huge libraries of iconic sounds that will load right into dexed and dexed is of course very efficient so you can load a billion instances of it in a daw.

Thank you, I didn't know about it before! Gonna try it out with some patches I found.
Just remember you might prefer some grit to your dx7 patches, especially to make them sit in the mix. Idk personal taste but remember that modern DAWs and home recording devices are massively higher fidelity than they used to be, and the dx7 wasn't necessarily designed for a super clean signal chain. I recommend loading up a saturator, or characterful compressor onto your dex vsti track before you even start browsing patches and judge them with a touch of dirt added in. Or whatever, it is music do whatever you want!
