DemoDrop announced new service for music producers.
As they say "a place where you can livestream and watch others while they produce music".



The site is currently in beta, so not everything is ready yet.

Service has channels on most popular DAWs.
This should be a good place to find smth new to bring into you production.

 

interesting indeed...if they can get a few famous producers to promote it then it may take off...

 

It's interesting as long as people don't spend all their time watching others make music instead of experimenting with their own. It is useful to watch skilled people work in tutorials and learn new techniques, and a good tutorial will kick start the creative progress but there's no substitute for actually working on your own music. You could end up wasting an hour watching someone pretend to know how to EQ that you could have spend listening to YOUR EQing and seeing what it sounds like.

I think making music is a lot about problem solving and when you're in the zone, things will just happen and make sense. I used to spend so much time watching tutorials on compressors and not being able to hear what was going on, but I would throw it on everything because I saw people do it.

Then later I was working on a track I noticed sounds jumping all over the place, or I wanted to tame some transients -- I tried some compressors and what do you know, they actually do something. Like magic, I started to hear what was going on - the pumping, the distortion, the transients being softened, the change in brightness/tone, things I never understood until I was at an experience level where I COULD hear it. You can't learn that from videos.

So I think video tutorials can be good, as long as people remember to put what they learn into practice... instead of clicking on "next video".

 

isn't everybody already at twitch.tv?

 

Yeah I was gonna say the same.
