Music forums: You should know these 5 pages
The music forums are as diverse as the music. We present five music forums that cover the most important issues around the scene, making music, listening to music, buying, and crafting music and musical equipment.
Forum for bands and active musicians
If you are a hobby, amateur or professional musician who would like to ask questions or talk shop, you are in the right place in the community of the musician board:
- The musician board offers articles on instruments and audio devices, tutorials on home recording and the rehearsal room and reviews on current music.
- The forum of the musician board includes sections for musical instruments, music making and the live area.
- Here you can find suitable locations for your gig in a foreign city, get recording tips, find bands, producers and songwriters or get purchase recommendations for your new instrument or studio equipment.
- The musicians board offers a special recording forum where you can discuss hardware and software, technology and tricks.
- A charming gimmick: As a new forum member, you can introduce yourself and your band in the category profile. This way the community knows who you are, where you come from, what music you like and like and how much expertise you have.
Music forum for hi-fi lovers
If audio quality is important to you when listening to and making music, you can hardly avoid the HiFi Forum community:
- According to the HiFi forum, it is "Germany's largest consumer electronics community".
- Talk shop in the categories stereo, home theater or car hi-fi about the most suitable equipment.
- Give tips or get help in the repair and maintenance division.

- In the music category you can exchange ideas about music reception and active music making.
Music Scene Forum
If you are interested in music, scene and nightlife, the Musikforum is an asset for you:
- Musikforum.de describes itself as "the forum about music, scene and parties".
- Discuss and review evergreens and new releases.
- If you are brave, let the community rate your own compositions and lyrics and get helpful tips.
- In the scene and party forum you can give and receive concert tips, find trendy clubs or the last record stores.
- As in the musicians board, you can present yourself and your interests to the other forum members in the user lounge.
Forum around the recording studio
For music producers, especially as a trouble shoot for problems with recording, mixing and mastering, the forums of the major software manufacturers are particularly suitable.

The music all-arounder
Not specifically intended for music, but due to our large following and variety of topics, the CHIP forum is a good starting point for discussing music topics with many people:
- With the almost unmatched large CHIP community, you can talk about music or talk shop through hi-fi.
