Ask HN: Is there a site like HN for musicians?

10 points by hoers ↗ HN
Hey guys, I love spending time here, especially the way new ideas are being shared and discussed - but my other (musician) half gets more and more jealous by the day, considering how well my tech half is being fed with info.

Sure, there are some great forums like gearslutz.com and decent subreddits, but those are mostly centered around personal inquiries and suggestions.

If anyone knows a site where audio-technical soft- and hardware developers meet, discuss cutting edge technology and share general ideas about music, please let me know.

The closest I've found is the subreddit r/WeAreTheMusicMakers . Totally not as technically focused as you've outlined above, but I've seen some interesting threads.

The more specific production subreddits are a lot better than WATMM I've found - stuff like /r/drums, /r/edmproduction, etc

also /r/audioengineering, tangiential but relevant.

I think forums fit the bill for most musicians I know - The Gear Page and Gearslutz are two popular ones but there are tons. Both TGP and GS have few "developers" but they are there. Outside of that, the music industry is so fragged that I think mostly there are lots of niche forums. Facebook groups have taken a small chunk too, I think. I'd be up for it.

It's very scattered. I dipped into the ring when I put together wikiaudio ..... but it never worked out.

Socialsounddesign.com hasn't been mentioned so there's another one for you.
