Ask HN: Is there a site like HN for musicians?
9 comments
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.
A couple interesting places:
DJ Tech Tools forums (a lot of stuff about controllerism and related hacking topics) - http://forums.djtechtools.com/
Create Digital Music - http://www.createdigitalmusic.com/

I've been a HarmonyCentral reader/contributor for a while. Maybe this is what you are looking for? http://www.harmonycentral.com/t5/Forums/ct-p/Forums
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm also looking for someplace better, as I'm not very fond of forums.
That said, here are a bunch of forum links:
electro-music.com http://www.electro-music.com/forum/
Muff's Modules & More http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/
GuitarPCB.com http://www.guitarpcb.com/apps/forums/

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.

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.

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.
