I have my setup complete and everything, but lately I'm having a hard time actually getting songs started/staying with them.
Anyone have a good format for creating a song? Lately I've been just finding something catchy and working with it from there, but does anyone else have any suggestions? If it helps, I'm trying to do technoesque music. [edit]I think I pinned this... if someone would unpin it I would be grateful This post has been edited by Meneudo: Tue 6 Jul 2004, 19:33 |

There is no real format for creating songs.
Best advice i can think of is. Be influenced by many forms of music, take note of song structures and sounds, experiment and try ideas, dont overwork on ideas if you are struggling to make them happen. take some time out occasionally and come back to it, you might realize a new direction for it later. try asking freinds and family for feeback and ideas after they have listened to what you have so far. basic song structures are easy. Their are no rules at all. you can edit and swap parts around fairly easily with most current computer based multitrackers/sequencers. so get familiar with your set-up and go for it. start/verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus/chorus/end Its a good to demo ideas (rough record parts and mess with song structures) If the idea has potential work out how you would record it for real. |
