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 And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

What does reverb generally suggest psychoacoustically? (lemmy.world)

My understanding is it sort of relates to a simulated acoustical physical space the music is intended to seem as if it is reverberating throughout

Is it correlated with the intimacy or closeness of the music, what else does it evoke? What is its relationship with artificiality and nature respectively?

What is its evolutionary purpose in terms of why we can parse and interpret it?

I think it just informs us about the physical space we are in. That can be used in a lot of ways emotionally. A small space can feel intimate or claustrophobic. A large space can feel freeing or uncanny.

What does uncanny mean in this context?

Like strangely large. You ever look into a deep pool and get spooked by how deep it is? I was once on a small boat in a cave and Jesus the water was so deep. You could see so far down and it gave me the creeps.
