We analyzed the published rules of these 9 communities: 5 prohibit self-promotion outright, 4 allow it only under conditions (designated threads, participation ratios, or moderator approval). The biggest audience is r/Music with 38.5M members. Always open a community's rules link before posting — it takes a minute and protects your account.
Music Reddit spans bedroom producers to touring professionals. r/WeAreTheMusicMakers is the general workshop (collaboration, releases, career questions), r/edmproduction and r/audioengineering go deep on craft — the mixing advice in r/audioengineering comes from people with actual credits. Instrument communities like r/Guitar and r/piano blend gear obsession, learning support, and performance sharing.
Feedback threads have strict formats everywhere (give critique to receive it, typically), and bare track-drops are removed on sight — SoundCloud spam burned these communities years ago. For music-tech companies, plugin makers, and educators: producers discuss tools endlessly and honestly, so the standard Reddit playbook applies with one bonus — free, genuinely useful resources (sample packs, preset banks without email gates) have long community memories.
Every production community runs structured feedback threads — r/WeAreTheMusicMakers and r/edmproduction both require giving feedback to get it, which keeps quality high. Post specific questions ("does the low end feel muddy?") rather than "thoughts?" for useful answers. Bare track links outside feedback threads get removed everywhere.
No, but it maintains professional standards — questions should show effort and specifics (your room, monitors, what you've tried). Beginners are welcome and the wiki covers fundamentals well. For gentler entry-level mixing help, r/edmproduction and r/WeAreTheMusicMakers tolerate broader questions. All three consistently repeat: room treatment before gear upgrades.
