I am looking for a self-improvement alternative to doom scrolling social media in my downtime. In the past, I have done mostly career oriented courses (tech/computer science), but I'm tired of those, want to branch out. Has anyone taken a MOOC class, not necessarily for any specific objectibe, that was especially good?

Sweet, what kind of music do you like or play? Any instrument?

[-] multicolorKnight@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I play keyboards, have a decent electronic piand which doubles as a MIDI controller. I like prog, the nerdier end of techno/electronica/hip-hop, and classical. LCD Soundsystem, Stereolab, King Crimson.

Sounds like we would have some stylistic overlap then. What DAW do you use?

[-] multicolorKnight@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Ableton Live. Max looks interesting, and one of these days I am going to try it out.

Nice, I'm on Bitwig but the projects are somewhat compatible. If you ever want a remix lemme know. I'm more sound design and production than arrangement

Edit: and if max appeals to you maybe you'd like The Grid in Bitwig.
