Just fuck you, OP

I really like peaceful ambient music and atmospheric New Age music, but I'm in the closet about it because New Age music has a really bad reputation.

I also like old songs from the early 20th century and even before. I'd feel like a complete autist trying to explain to people how I like hissy old music that their grandparents would probably consider passe. It's even worse for some things. The fact that I find Nazi propaganda music enjoyable would probably make me a complete social pariah if people found out.

And video game music still doesn't seem to be socially acceptable to admit you like, although it's getting closer.

Really, I don't even know I'd be comfortable discussing most of the music I like with normalfags. Even liking standard rock music is on its way to becoming a niche thing. How could I even mention liking something like bagpipe tunes or Yugoslav war songs or throat singing without coming across like a spaz?

who cares about what you like? if it sounds good to you, that's all that matters. it's good to find a lot of different music enjoyable.

>>1702
True. I don't really have "guilty pleasures," but there's also no way to really talk about music with people IRL when most people don't share your taste or would write you off.

Pretty easy to use it as a citation.
Discogs works too but the editors don't use it.

Any mumble rap

I want to go back

I use fl studio for everything. Metal, techno, experimental. Everything. Even live situations, I use fl studio. Just use any daw you're used to. Turbofolk I'd say just get samples from traditional music, get a vengeance sample pack, and make a house/techno/trap/etc. song out of those samples. It's just that easy.

Nice dubs.

Yeah, FL Studio is great. I'm a hardware autist now, but the workflow is great for composing and mixing once you get the hang of it. I'd prefer to never use anything else unless I had to. Too bad Image Line is gay and hasn't ported it to Linux yet.

>too bad Image Line is gay and hasn't ported it to Linux yet
if they did that i'd be done with shitdows. they're ways supposedly to get fl studio working on linux but it looks needlessly complicated and not fully functional. how do you jump into hardware? seems pretty expensive compared to the 0 dollars you'll spend on making music on the computer, and not as efficient due to limitations of gear.

Same. The lack of music capabilities is the only reason I haven't switched.
>they're ways supposedly to get fl studio working on linux but it looks needlessly complicated and not fully functional.
Yeah, it's completely useless as far as recording from hardware. That's what kills it for me. It might be usable overall depending on your needs, but in the little time I used it it just felt off to me.

I started by buying relatively cheap digital synths from the '80s and '90s after learning to program DX7 sounds with Dexed. Pretty soon I'm going to get a fancy flight case and put together my rack unit collection.

I think that vintage digital synths are pretty underrated. FM synths are really versatile, and the sample-based synths are capable of nice pads and atmospheric sounds despite having lots of cheesy sounds. Link related is one I love. The interfaces on these old rack synths stink to high heaven, but you can get a cheap iPad (gay, I know) and Patchbase and really go to town. I think the prices for these synths are going to start rising pretty soon. Some of the ones I've looked at are already more expensive than I remember them being a while ago, so I'm trying to finish up my collection.

I've got a couple analog synths and don't really feel like I need any more, but I am going to get a new hardware sampler.
