Re:Ask HN: Anyone into Music Production? on Tuesday April 05, 2022 @12:31AM (#30915315)
GarageBand. I was a kid in the early 2000s and my dad's friends gave me a tutorial on GarageBand. My experience with computers up to that point was Windows, but from then on I was hooked. I've since learned Logic Pro and am using that, but messing with Apple Loops on GarageBand was a great starting point.

It's a fun hobby. I have a degree in music performance and could write a novel on why I don't do music professionally. I like having the financial stability that comes with having a job, and creating music is something I do to feed my soul. Doesn't need to be anything more than that for me.

Re:The Great Resignation? More Like the Great Renegotiation on Tuesday January 25, 2022 @01:00PM (#30075340)
At a certain point, you start to see the elites continue to amass incomprehensible quantities of wealth while making their employees piss in bottles and drive into tornadoes. It’s a completely different gap than competing for a job or a raise with another candidate or coworker. I believe this is what is meant by “The Great Robbery”.

One of the reasons I haven't been able to fully commit to Linux on the desktop is that I haven't been able to find quality music production tools. I always end up going back to macOS because I miss Logic Pro X and Ableton Live too much. Also the audio routing in macOS is so much easier than any other operating system I've encountered. I would love to hear about music studios using FOSS.

`rig` (random identity generator) on Linux is another useful tool for this
