Concerning Livestreams

Anything that doesn't fit into other topics goes here!
So, I wanted to gauge interest in the possibility of maybe doing livestreams of making music in LMMS. It was brought up to me by a few people in the past, but I want to see if there is really an interest in the community. Its still an idea, but I'd at least like to hear if people would be interested in the idea.
I may be interested. :)
Where and when will you be doing them?
What parts or topics of LMMS do you want to discuss?
Will there be a Q&A session of some sorts?
I would watch your live streams if you ever did them - provided that the time zone works out alright. I'm interested as to how others make music.
So right now the idea with the live streams is that I would just make my music or whatever while streaming. I'm not sure exactly when, but it would likely be around 2:00pm (Mountain Time) on Saturdays. Since I mostly use ZynAddSubFX, I guess it would be mostly tutorials for programming those synths. I'm still working out details, but that's the beginnings of the idea. If I did it it would likely be using the stream.me platform (the one that Keemstar of DramaAlert uses)

Other ideas I had was that if people donated during the stream, I'd send them any specific synthesizer presets I've made or stems to finished/near-completed songs.

Regarding Q/A, there is a chat system used at Stream.me, so I very likely would do Q/A sessions. Really part of the idea is not only to create a way to help other LMMS users learn how I make music, but to encourage newcomers to LMMS to seek out tutorials and advice from the forums. I started out with a couple tutorials on ZynAddSubFX when I found LMMS and now I feel I'm doing quite well with my music. I just want to open up the means people can use to get help making music.
Another suggestions would be that you make a whole song during the stream (or more streams), because you make really good music . I would like to see how you work, etc...

Maybe. If I did that, it would be for songs I haven't started yet but are in the background. Another idea I've had is running polls occasionally to get opinions as to specific requests. Stuff like tutorials, breakdowns of older songs, etc..

For background music, ambient pad sounds, with some simple low volume piano melodies might easily do the trick there. 8-)

The other good thing is, since you use ZynAddSubFX, there are lots of pad presets, that you could easily use,
or tweak to your hearts content. :mrgreen:

Oh, haha, I wasn't talking about making background music, I was referring to projects that I'm working on aside from the ones posted on soundcloud. But yeah, you're definitely right about the background music advice. Simplicity with melodies and chords is great for that kind of thing.
