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 And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

How to turn anything into a more triplet-time sound? (lemmy.world)

Is there a way to turn most music into something more "triplety" for example by setting a delay of 0.33 seconds or something like that?

Love me some 6/8 time (or triple time maybe, I like 3 a lot) haha. I suppose I might looking to confirm or adjust my working theory that delay of 0.33 seconds to the point there's kind of a 2x echo after the initial beat would roughly equate to this but its a very rough draft

The only actual recorded example I can think of that illustrates the end result I'm interested and also aware of altho I think its more implied than actually necessarily in the music is Debussy's arrangement of Gymnopedie N. 1 by Erik Satie. I feel like the orchestra is basically generating this effect at least evocatively if not in fact. I

Might not be articulating this fantastically, not sure if I even know what I'm asking for or if it makes any sense ๐Ÿ˜… If not, just making conversation i guess

Well, if you have a delay effect that's aware of the project tempo, then usually you can just tell it a note type, like quarter-note triplet and it'll "just work" as long as the project's tempo map is accurate. It really depends on the delay plugin's capabilities

Oh, neat!

Like I said, my theory class was a long time ago, it's cool to hear stuff like this - what people who are way more knowledgeable have come up with.
