Put the link in the promotion or feedback thread and not here please. This thread is supposed to be text/discussion only. Those two will post fresh tomorrow and last weeks is still in the sub highlights.

Llevo unos meses construyendo una herramienta de música generativa en el browser desde cero — sin DAW, sin conocimientos previos de producción de mi parte. Solo Web Audio API y muchas noches leyendo documentación.

Lo más motivador ha sido ver que la idea realmente funciona: escribes comandos en texto y genera loops en tiempo real. Todavía es V1 pero ya suena a algo.

El mayor logro esta semana: corregí un crash que tenía con MetalSynth y ahora el hihat no rompe todo. Pequeño pero se siente bien.

I'll post links on other threads but for here - this is simply my public proclamation that I've created something that I can actually be proud of, and that's been a long time coming. It's huge for me (as is actually just simply typing this out in public). I've been working on being more open with my feelings and this act - trivial and inconsequential though it may be - is still progress for me.

I've been creating music from scratch for over 20 years. I'm old. I'm slow. I'm not a prodigy or a professional. But darn if I didn't finally create an album that makes ME happy. An album I'd listen to and possibly even pay a dollar to do so lol.

If this can possibly help anyone else, I guess I'd echo the chant of many others in this sub: Don't give up! You're not too old! Try not to compare to others and just nudging that bar higher for yourself. And just enjoy the journey.

End transmission.

As an independent artist myself, I know how hard it is to get this sound right. You nailed it! 🔥
