Welcome to the musicians community!

You play an instrument, you are a musician.

This community is focused on the creative and technical aspects of being a musician. Good brands of guitars to play, how to create music outside of the rehearsal space, your vocalist won't stop snoring on the tour bus. That kind of stuff.

I'm trying to re-memorize some chord voicings I used to be able to do right upon seeing the chord.

Used to use r/NameThatSong on Reddit sometimes when I could not remember the name of a song but remembered how the song went. It's on the Fediverse too at !namethatsong@lemmy.wtf

I'm mainly looking for a decent drum kit synth for rock and metal music. Once upon a time I used a pirated version of Drumkit from Hell, and I really liked it, but that was over 15 years ago, and now tgat I'm not broke as a bum anymore I'm interested in hearing some recommendations.

Latest MuseScore 3 is mean to me about saving. I have to Save As everytime and half the time it gets weird about playback afterwards so I have to close it out and reopen.

Updated to MuseScore 4 and to be honest I forget most of my grievances with it beyond a playback issue with some weird thing I did, but it also bothered me enough to run crying back into the arms of MuseScore 3 (thank you Internet Archive). It was probably something about formatting which is ironic considering all the engraving improvements they made. Considering an alternative after using MuseScore for most of my life. What do yall use?

And literally just after posting this I remembered LilyPond, which a friend told me about awhile back. Never really checked it out. It's free though!

Your classic introduction (with a twist) topic. What instruments do you play, or what do you want to start playing?
