Alright, but what if my music is applicable to more than one community? Like, it’s a punk album, so I’ll probably post it on the music communities and the punk communities, as well as the aforementioned !imadethis@lemm.ee. Not trying to spam, but just typing “music” in the search bar brings up five communities where my content would be applicable. Good looking out though, that’s why I asked!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Musical self-promotion on Lemmy?English
2·7 months agoNo problem! It’s worth noting that both of those non-FOSS plugins I mentioned are both free as in “free beer”, so if you need a good auto tune and/or fancy chorus, check those out!
Thanks! You’d be the guy to know what communities go with which posts haha
Cool, yeah will do!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Musical self-promotion on Lemmy?English
4·7 months agoAwesome, thanks for the advice! And I will for sure let you know when I upload it somewhere, but I can tell you the tools I use right now! I’ve got Ardour for my DAW, I’m using a mix of the Ardour community plugins, LSP parametric equalizer, Calf compressor, and the two non-FOSS ones are Graillon 3 auto tune and Acon Digital Multiply. Drums are via Hydrogen, with the Ian Paice and Travis Barker drumkits from sourceforge, and I think I yanked Dave Grohl’s toms for one song. Some other various drum effects I got off of Pixabay. The main album art is going to be handmade because I suck at GIMP, but if I get enough support to make like, a vinyl pressing or something, then I’ll include all my failed attempts at album art in the liner notes lol
Thanks! Yeah, me too lol, it’d be kind of a bummer to have put all this work into it and then no one listens to my tunes! Most of them are pretty good!
Yeah, fair enough, just thought I’d get a feel for the vibe before I just did the thing. It’s probably gonna be at least a month before I release anything, but like I said in the post, I don’t see other musicians posting their stuff here, so I just wanted to make sure it was cool.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•How come there is enough asphalt for speed bumps, but not enough to fill potholes ?English
34·8 months agoMost people don’t know this, but speed bumps are actually hollow. They use a balloon to make the shape, then pour a thin layer of asphalt over it for aesthetic reasons. This saves money on asphalt, which is popular with city councils, so the asphalt is typically saved for more speed bumps rather than filling potholes.





Very strange, because I’m also using Boost, and it’s fine for me.
