I've been playing around with this idea for some time.. A music making wiki.
It would allow everything froum sound design to music theory, and specific tutorials to achieve particular effects and such.
It would have no advertisements and no commercial section. I did some googling and couldn't find a comprehensive resource like I imagine, and especially not in wiki format.
I'm going to set it up later today, and I'll be writing guides and tutorials shortly after, but what I want to know is if 1. anyone would be interested in writing articles, and 2. if this is a good idea.
I'm sure it can be a good resource for newbies and advanced musicians alike, and I won't go public until we have at least 50 pages.
I have a lot of material I can write, both from my experience and from general knowledge I have, so both personal tips and more well known tips would be cool.
So, anyone in?

i't's a good idea, because everyone does things differently, and there are many tips and tricks ...when i first started i had to learn everything by myself, from reading manuals with limited info, and by just trying things which was hard and slow going, so i think this could be a good for people starting out for sure..

The only problem is how much would you, or i, be willing to share?
DO I tell everyone how I make my music? If everyone contributed their own personal tips, it would be an immense resource, imagine autechre writing there.
But what musician will do such a thing? They are usually protective of their stuff..
I'm not sure..

99% of the stuff song writers and producers do can be worked out by listening to the music so I can imagine that if you got enough people with knowledge involved pretty much everything would get covered. This is a good idea though, especially if there is going to be samples to listen to and the like. How in depth are you intending on making it? Is it going to be a case of 'how to make crunchy snares' or 'making that one noise off of that autechre track using fruityloops 3 and 6 free VSTs'?

if this is gonna be done, i would stick to the basics...
lets remember that Music is an artform, and as an artform can be approached in many different ways.
everyone has their own techniques and their own ways of working.
rather than have it be a definitive tutorial, i would hope that such a wiki would be presented and written as a guide

Indeksical, it could in theory by any type of tutorial..
oscilllik,
i think you're right.. it will definitely be a guide and not the definitive 'answer'
however i would like some specific tips that go a bit more advanced than just basics.
itll be up in a few hours when i get home, and we'll see how it goes.
im pretty excited about this considering theres no really good audio wiki online that i can see.

sounds good, what about the history behind the techniques? Just a thought.

oh i wasn't bashing the idea, i think it's great. having somewhere that's aggregated, so you can look in one place rather than having to trawl teh internets.
i look forward to having a trawl through the wiki
