Discord Server - Samples and Stuff

Posted by Anchorwind - June 21st, 2016


TL;DR - I started a Discord server, uploaded a bunch of samples I made for people to use, and want people to join and upload their samples for us to use.  I think it could be fun to have a big room filled with people constantly collaborating and sending things back and forth (and talking, obviously).

Anyone who has talked to me about music for longer than a few brief moments knows I love tinkering.  I'll sit and play with the same lines and pieces for quite a while.   To that end, I caved and bought the Push 2 - it was on sale recently.  I really wanted it anyway, so there you go.   Since getting it,  I find myself just crafting loops and samples instead of writing songs.    I find myself splicing songs and creating new things.  It's tremendous fun - for me.  

Of course,  I'll publish full pieces.  I have a demo in the works right now, but it's just kind of disinteresting right now.   I have this idea in my head about all these little snippets, I'm having with it.   Push makes it easier, and funner, to make these various ideas I have kicking around.  Live 9 is good, and Komplete 9 works just fine with it as well (albiet not quite as seamless, but we're talking about NI plugins in an Ableton environment - it's ok). 

I could, and probably will,  take all these clips and use them in future projects.  That's more or less what I've been doing anyway.  However,  I think I'd like to make things available for everyone.  There are technologies - like Discord - that make life easy for that.  It's free, and easy.   Join the server, drag and drop - done.

In my head, I'm imagining people not only using it as a real-time chatroom but a consistent place to exchange demos to listen to/critique and samples to collab with.   An environment with which to engage more.   I've collaborated with several people and file transfers have been annoying.  This could make life simpler. 

Alternately, I could just be having delusions of grandeur.  It wouldn't be the first time.
