If you're making music that can even obliquely be considered "protest music," I'd love to help you get it out there by mixing and mastering for cheap (or even free, depending on your financial circumstances).

Art made by conscientious people is very good for the world.

I've already mixed and mastered one protest song from a mutual here on fedi. :) Allow me to help, if you need. Send me a DM or find my email from my website.

@arendleejessurun I've been trying (and failing) to write a protest song, I'll redouble my efforts!

@DuchessOfSnork I'd love to hear what you come up with! :)

@arendleejessurun mixing/mastering is the stage I hate the most on music making, and probably the most frustrating for most musicians, so your offering is very valuable. What I usually do is not what could be considered as "protest", tho, but more like "just having fun with random nonsense" (the idea of putting more activism on music is something I might consider seriously, tho, since so much of action is needed!). Anyways, just wanted to show my appreciation to your offering regardless :)

@unknownpseudoartist Thank you! Mixing is perhaps my favorite part. :) Would love to hear your fun random nonsense.

I have three underway (one old that needs to be refurb'ed, and two new), but am getting too sidetracked by work and school...
Show threadMont-Solliu2d ago

@arendleejessurun
The old one takes a clip of a woman reciting an old Middle Eastern anti-war poem and mixes in US propaganda clips and clips of US leaders' speeches.

The new ones... one is a swing hybrid basically about maga manipulation including how they manipulate religion. The other is about a modern keyboard warrior / proud boy survivalist type. These two are comedies/satire.

@arendleejessurun Mixing and mastering might as well be fairy dust for all I understand them, and I strongly suspect I'm not alone. I'm sure this offer will come in *very* handy for a lot of people.
