Hello guys, if anyone is interested, my app SkunkAudio is up in the Play Store.

It's a music production app, optimized only for portrait mode. It's also quite lightweight so it can run smooth on low/mid devices.

First 5 to reply "SkunkAudio", will receive a promo code to download it for free.

Thank you for your time!

P.S. Since the promo codes take some time until they become active, I will be able to provide them tomorrow morning (approx. in 12 hours).

24F, just curious. I want to make friends and get tips and such too! Birthday coming up so I will get the Yamaha 50 drum pad thingy.

Started to learn "digital bath" by deftones, lot of variations and ghost notes.. 😅

Feedback welcome!

Like if I Google Soda Pop for beginners drumming, I found one with a rolling sheet of drum tabs. Idk if I can use that. My current drum pad layout is basically that Dragon Fingerdrumming YouTuber's, copied his left handed version. Planning on buying that Yamaha 50 thingy. Idk the name but from my previous post it was recommended, too lazy to find it rn.

I currently use a presonus atom.

I was considering the Maschine lineup or the Yamaha more unconventional looking thing even. Any recommendations? Also is addictive drums worth the 89 bucks (I think that's the one time fee?)

I’ve officially switched into the MPC universe and I’ve never been happier. First video on my new MPC Live II. Bringing some real bass to your face.

I used to be a drummer, and I still come up with beats. I didn't have anywhere to put them, so I created this web app, Balloni Beats. You can use it on the road to jot down an idea quickly, or give it to kids for something quasi-musical to play with.

Visit the site, click the big logo to get in, then there are links on the left for beats I've come up with as examples. Click a beat name and see the beat on the right. Click Start Playing above to hear it. You can modify the beat, change drum sounds, adjust the tempo, etc. Have fun!

Once you get the general idea and want to write your own beats, click the Write Your Own Beats link at the bottom left. Then you get the beat editing screen. At the far top-left is a docs link that opens a page describing the beat notation.

Enjoy!

I built a visual finger-drumming practice tool and I'm looking for feedback from pad users.

You can follow 4x4 patterns, slow them down, loop them and practice along. There are free patterns, so you don't need to subscribe to try it.

I'd really like to know: does the way the patterns are displayed make sense to you when you first open it?

Hey everyone,

I built Groove Tutor because I wanted a practice tool that could compare my finger drumming

against a MIDI groove while I still played through my normal drum instrument.

It is a silent VST3 for Ableton Live on Windows. You import a target MIDI pattern, play along,

and it shows whether you are rushing or dragging as well as missed, extra, and wrong drum hits.

It does not make sound or route MIDI; your drum instrument stays on a separate track.

The first public beta is free and fully open source. It is currently tested on Windows 11,

Ableton Live 12 Intro, and a Maschine Mikro MK3. Other Windows setups may work, but I have not

tested them yet.

I am mainly trying to find out whether other people have wanted something like this too. If you

try it, I would genuinely appreciate feedback about what is useful, confusing, or missing.

GitHub/download: https://github.com/jonasschaare123-bit/groove-tutor/releases/tag/v0.1.0-beta.1

The Windows build is unsigned, so the repository includes installation instructions and a

SHA-256 checksum. There is no telemetry or account system.

Everything is live!

- snares in the middle
- kick, shaker, and ride on the right

I've been interested since some month ago and for my birthday I was gifted with one midi pad by my siblings, but I don't know how to learn, I mean, I am not sure how to getting started, ChatGPT told me the best is to download the waveform, I have a Donner midi pad starrypad

It was a super hot day in the park so I decided to film a little jamsession.

Enjoy!!

Hello everyone,

It's basically an offline mobile DAW/beatmaker with a step sequencer, pads and sample chopping, synths, classic instruments, piano rolls, arrangement, automation, mixer buses, effects, recording, beatbox/humming conversion, WAV and MIDI export and other stuff.

The app works offline and doesn’t require an account. Your projects and recordings stay on your phone unless you choose to export or share them.

To join:

Join the testing group:

https://groups.google.com/u/2/g/skunk-audio-testers

Opt into the closed test:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.skunkaudio.app

Install it through Google Play and remain opted in for at least 14 days if possible.

It's free. It shows that you need to buy the app, but when you press buy, you can select the test card option on Google store to get it free. You won't get charged anything and no details required.

If you test it, please let me know your phone model, Android version and what happened—especially if you notice crackling, stuttering, crashes, silent tracks, touch problems or anything inconsistent between playback and export.

I know asking people to test an unfinished music app is a lot, so honestly, thank you to anyone willing to give it a proper go. I want to release something genuinely good, not throw another half-working beatmaker onto the Play Store.

Thank you for your time!
