If you're new to pr oducing, read the Newbie FAQ. Mods will not look at the content of the post before the removal. Threads that do not conform will be removed without notice.

The purpose of your post must be clear by reading your title.

Violations of this rule will result in a 1-day ban.

Questions that don't warrant a thread go in the 'There Are No Stupid Questions' Thread.

Collab calls should go in the Collaboration Thread. All products/services should go in the Marketplace Thread. All postings of your own music (thread or comment) for any reason should go in the Feedback thread.

Weekly Threads are listed in the top bar.

We occasionally will make exceptions to threads that create insightful discussion. Use the subreddit search, read the Ira Glass quote, or check out other subreddits such as /r/getmotivated.

Lower-effort 'motivational' threads asking how to get through an artistic slump may be removed because they've been answered quite a few times before.

If your post is calling someone out for something, it's probably not appropriate here. This is a community for the technical aspects of production and for production discussion, not drama.

This is not the place for posts about discovering people stealing songs from other artists or producers using ghost writers, etc.

7 day ban on first offense, permanent ban thereafter. Linking to piracy-centric subs also prohibited.

Advocating, asking for, or giving advice on how to pirate is prohibited.

If you're not sure if your post will fit or not, message the moderators. Users posting links to tracks for views or feedback, soliciting/offering services, promoting fan pages, using follow-gates/download-gates, or otherwise benefiting financially from the sub will be banned for a day and informed to read the rules.

Spam & self-promotion (outside of the Marketplace thread, where ads are encouraged) will be removed.

Keep it productive, intelligent, intelligible, and constructive.

If your thread is vague, unclear, or easily answered by searching ('does anyone else.?' 'Any suggestions for.?') it may be removed. If your thread is only tangentially related, it is probably considered off-topic.

Please submit only content and discussion that is specifically relevant to music production.

Repeated or egregious offenses will be countered with a ban. If you disagree with something, make your case politely. No flame wars, disrespect, condescension based on level of experience, or tactless posts stereotyping any group of people will be tolerated.

Posts and comments are expected to be civil, even when there are disagreements.

Please report threads and comments that violate the following rules: Be respectful This subreddit is for those wishing to discuss electronic dance music production.
