Rules are as follows:
I will update rules as necessary, but I promise we'll stay light on them and only add new ones after discussion!
Here are some useful examples of what a great post would be about:

Good to know: As a general word of caution, avoid posting complete compositions, mixes and tracks on the internet before backing them up on a remote and reputable server. Even small snippets or watermarked tracks should be posted AFTER backing it up to cloud. Timestamps from cloud services will help you in case of theft. And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.
Here is my music resume:
Piano lessons when I was a kid, band class when I was in school. Fundamentals can be learned at any age. Learning them IS important.
I know some basics from learning electric bass, but don't ask me about chords (beyond major and minor) or chord progressions. I'm definitely aware that this is a huge blindspot even for electronic music.
A moderate amount. I was in high school band so I got taught a little. I dove into it as one of my (too many) hobbies for a while. I can tell what a piece is doing and understand scales (major, minor, pentatonic, and blues), key signature, modes, harmony, chord progression, arrangement, rhythm, meter, chord inversions, and probably a bunch of stuff I'm forgetting. I pick it up from time to time to learn more.
However, I'm a barely competent player of a handful of brass instruments, guitar, and bass. I'm embarrassingly bad on all but the simplest of percussion. I have a hard time dialing in tone so I just try a bunch of shit and take pictures of whatever sounds fine.
Like many of my other pursuits, I know many things and never really take the time to develop the practical skills to go along with it.
