Beatsmith<p>After a month-long creative block, I switched on my synth today and had a great jam. Forgot to hit record, though. 🫠</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/electronicmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>electronicmusic</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/synth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>synth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/jam" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>jam</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/musicproblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>musicproblems</span></a></p>

JamesHumbers (he/him)<p>The problem with my sample libraries moving to subscription models is that they're not offering great upgrade or expansion licenses to those of us who've spent thousands on their products before subscription took over. I think subscription is great for students to get their hands on pro libraries, but they need to look after aged producer/composers like myself ;) <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MusicTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicTech</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MusicProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProblems</span></a></p>
personally<p>Poor schemas, poor cataloguing: why music tagging sucks</p><p>One common issue that many music enthusiasts face with their local music library is the tedious process of tagging. While tools like beets or MusicBrainz Picard can help streamline the process, there are still fundamental issues with the design of tags for music and the way they are applied. This not only makes exploring music more difficult, but it also limits the potential of our music collections and leaves many opportunities untapped.</p><p>The current state of music tagging leaves much to be desired. Tagging schemas are often incomplete, inconsistent, and incorrect, making it difficult to navigate music libraries and discover new music. This hinders the ability to find what you're looking for and prevents full exploration of the potential of music libraries.</p><p><a href="https://sporks.space/2023/02/18/poor-schemas-poor-cataloguing-why-music-tagging-sucks/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sporks.space/2023/02/18/poor-s</span><span class="invisible">chemas-poor-cataloguing-why-music-tagging-sucks/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/musiclibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musiclibrary</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musiccollection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musiccollection</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicmetadata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicmetadata</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicorganization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicorganization</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicdiscovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicdiscovery</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicenthusiast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicenthusiast</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/beets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>beets</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicbrainzpicard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicbrainzpicard</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musictechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musictechnology</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musictagging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musictagging</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musictags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musictags</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicproblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicproblems</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicfrustrations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicfrustrations</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicstreaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicstreaming</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicstorage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicstorage</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/localmusiclibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>localmusiclibrary</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicsearching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicsearching</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicexploration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicexploration</span></a></p>
