Official introduction time :3

Hi, my name's Gus. I'm 21 years old and my pronouns are he/it/they. I like to draw and write and I'm also a selfshipper, though I haven't decided if I want to post any of that stuff on my main blog or make side blogs for them yet lol.

DNI:

Bigots (racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, etc.)

Pedophiles, zoophiles, and anyone else who's into illegal shit like that

NFT/Crypto bros and AI "artists"

Proshippers and anyone else who romanticizes/sexualizes previously mentioned illegal shit

you're part of the eating disorder and/or self harm side of tumblr

Basically don't be a dick and we're good

Also Harry Potter, DSMP, and Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss fans are on thin ice. We're chill if you don't support the creators and just happen to like those things, but I most likely won't follow or interact back if you follow me.

Anyway you should totally follow me if you like any of the following:

btw please don't harass or make fun of me for any of my interests (especially Honkai Star Rail because that's my main hyperfixation at the moment). I am autistic and take my interests seriously, so if you fun of my interests without my permission I WILL block you for the sake of my mental health.

anyway that's all for now byeee

Okay okay I've got one I think will be fun!!

Spin this wheel of like 160ish fandoms of varying levels of popularity.

Could you write a convincing 1-2k word fic for this fandom?

Yes, easy, I've read/watched/played this piece of media and could write for it!

Yes, I know enough about it through fandom/internet osmosis that I could BS 1k

Eh, I could TRY but someone who knew the media would know I was BSing

No, I've heard of this media but I don't know enough about it to BS a fic

I have never heard of this media in my life

Nuance option??

people NEED to stop gatekeeping making music like ohhhh i don’t have an instrument ohhhhh i don’t know music theory ohhhhh i’m not gonna pay for some program. SHUT UP. take my hand.

you need NONE of that shit!!!!! there’s a website called beepbox.co. literally all you have to do is press things until it sounds a modicum of nice. it’s easy it’s free and it works on anything which has a browser because it’s a website.

if even ONE person starts making music bc of this post it will be worth it.

making bad music is just as important and okay as it is to write badly or draw badly or sing badly. you AREN’T BEHOLDEN TO MAKE GOOD MUSIC. making music is not utilitarian HAVE FUN. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!

[homoeroticjunoincident]

love how people will encourage people to just start making shit and see what happens when it comes to drawing and writing but when it comes to beginner musicians (music makers if you wish to be less formal) it’s just COMPLETE RADIO SILENCE. it feels like no one even knows you MAKE music it just sprouts up from the ground one day and some guy picks it up. am i alone in this dark cave

[godofautism-deactivated20240303]

Fuck it

I'm gonna try and make music

Call me betovan bc I'm deaf as fuck /j

[terri-theslime13]

HELL YEAH!!!

Alternatively if you wanna get into music producing in a more “proper” way, you still don’t need any money.

Ableton has excellent free websites to learn the basics:

Learning Music

Learning Synths

You can learn basically everything you need on YouTube. I recommend:

Mercurial Tones Academy

Dan Worrall

Bthelick

A lot of your favorite artists, mainly in electronic music, likely have done track breakdowns, you can watch those to learn how they do things.

DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) ultimately all do the same things, and Cakewalk is a great FREE fully fledged one. Sure it has some issues, and doesn’t have many plugins included, but it works just fine. All the music I released so far was made there, before I made the jump to Ableton.

As for VST plugins:

Vital is an excellent free synth

Native Instruments Komplete Start is a good free collection of plugins

TDR Nova is a great free EQ

There’s a lot of others and I don’t wanna name everything I’m aware of here, but feel free to DM me for more (Or if you have any other questions and stuff too).

And as for samples, you can get a bunch of free ones at:

Cymatics

Ghosthack

Having good headphones is nice and what I’d recommend you invest in first once it comes to it, but even your current ones will probably be fine, mainly if you slap AutoEQ onto them to flatten the frequency response. And ultimately, music isn’t all about the mixing, the most important part is conveying an emotion.

I know this goes against the spirit of the original post a little, but I want people to know that getting into music production also no longer costs thousands, you can just do it at home on your computer without no money.

[unhinged-popsocket]

Yeah, there is still quite the learning curve, I get that, though it’s also why it’s managed to hold me as a hobby for so long.

I do however have something of the exact opposite variety too, the most simple way to make music I know of, and a wonderful little semi-social experience, along the lines of the game Journey:

The New PLINK! is the long overdue update of #plink by @DinahmoeSTHLM. Jam with friends and strangers all over the world.

hi op i think you should know that i did indeed make a song for the first time because of this

I'm a hobbyist when it comes to music but when I was just starting out I used LMMS! It's an open-source DAW, and It's not super robust with plugins right off the bat or anything, but it's free and was easy to learn, and I decided to give it a shot bc I wanted to make some tunes for my visual novel.

I eventually moved on to FL Studio when it went on sale years back, but working in LMMS was close enough to how FL Studio works that the learning curve wasn't too steep from there!

BeepBox is an online tool for sketching and sharing instrumental music.
