Hello Lemmings! For the past year or so, I’ve been working on a solo project, and I’m kinda close to being finished with it! It’s a punk rock album, made with mostly open-source tools (the only non-FOSS stuff is a couple of plugins that didn’t have good open-source alternatives)!

I’ve seen other folks promote their games here, but so far I haven’t seen any music done this way, and I was wondering if it’s maybe not allowed? Some sort of Lemmy faux pas? If it is, indeed, allowed, then what communities would be amenable to maybe a twice weekly post? Should one make their own community for this purpose? What about a general purpose community for self-promotion, i.e. “imadethis” back on the old place? As you can see, much to consider. (I don’t have anything out yet, so this post in itself is not self-promotion.)

What say ye, o wise Lemmings?

    Thanks for sharing! I was using Ableton before the pandemic, then had to take a break after my son was born. I went back to it a few months ago and what I purchased wasn’t transferrable to a version that worked on my computer 😡. I love learning about open source tools like this, and I’ll definitely be checking them out. Thanks for sharing!

      No 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!
