What do you struggle with?
Re: What do you struggle with?
Hamony,melody and counterpoint. Alchoholism, sexual adiction, and being addicted to being an asshole.
beatsme- i checked out your myspace over a year ago and i like your music.I think you sucking is all in your head. I dont know whats its called darkwave or what ever but it has its hot spots. come to tampa and check out the club called the castle.
chidj- I remember your posts after your divorce, she sounds like a cunt. I would fuck her but not when I feel lonely.I wouldnt want to get caught up in that mess again. Id fuck the girl anally from adult friend finder and then head over to the ex for some head. Then Id steal my fucking stereo system back.

Re: What do you struggle with?
Mate, i definitely know what you mean about 'what's the point/plan' aspect. I go through that from time to time myself - it can sometimes be hard to remember that the reason i make music is because i find it satisfying and it fulfils a creative drive that i've always had.beats me wrote:What's the point/plan? + There's 10,000 (and growing) producers that are better than me + I never get that [insert hot NOW sound] sound + little patience for the fine details of production = Hey, what's on TV right now?
I used to get a sense of accomplishment when finishing a track. Now I get a sense of relief....like a work deadline has been met. I've never really had a master plan for my music but now the "I just do it for myself" isn't cutting it or motivating me.
I don't think there's any point chasing that hot 'now' sound. Plough your own furrow, so to speak, and others can't be better than you but only different to you
Re: What do you struggle with?
struggle with completing songs. been forcing myself in arrange view and have been getting further though. just say fu session view for 2 weeks
Re: What do you struggle with?
Remembering peoples names, ugly woman and typical germans especially from the country side (they make me puke on top of it)

This is one of the wisest things anyone has said that i can recall during my time on this forum. As musicians (at any level) WE all need to remember this - it can be applied to much of life as as well.

You really are quite good at it ThrowAway. Hey, at least your good at something.
ChiDJ, go find yourself a new woman! The old one is broken. Move forward!
I struggle to go to work in a fairly lame job everyday. Things could be worse though.
Everyone would have a shitload of unfinished songs. They are not all worth finishing.

Re: What do you struggle with?
I'd say, in this case, use both heads. Use the top one to tell the ex to fuck off. Use the bottom one to find an acceptable replacement to get your demons out for a night.ChiDJ wrote:After destroying me financially, the ex found out I'm single and she wants to fuck me...(Not financially), so......
do I think with my little head and get some?...(cause I'm Kinda lonely right now)...or do I tell her to STFU!!??
I think this qualifies as a legitimate struggle..

Re: What do you struggle with?
I don't think this one has been mentioned.
My BIGGEST BIGGEST stumbling block is this:
'Why didn't I think of that?'
I hear a technique, read about a way of usuing Guitar Rig, read about a new tip in Live, see a video about how to do somethign with such and such a synth, read about doing somethign funky with reverb, or reversing a sample and then doing this or that with it. etc.etc
And EVERY TIME I think...
'Why didn't I think of that?'
So ya, my biggest problem:
I can't think outside the box.

Re: What do you struggle with?
I struggle with the fact that I wasted my high school years playing sports, going to boring parties and mastering Roller Coaster Tycoon when I could have been practicing an instrument/learning Max/MSP.
Re: What do you struggle with?
I always feel uncomfortable with remembering numbers like that of my cell phone, car, bike, bank account etc, though I am good at mathematics.

Re: What do you struggle with?
Getting away from the bleedin interwebz.. And actually DOING something!! Grr.. So easily distracted!
Finishing my studio.. (where there will be NO net connection
) .. Always seems to be something else to do..
Juggling everything else that's going on in my life is quite a struggle! ie.. kids, farm, work, animals, relationships, building the house etc..
Also I struggle with not getting into the 'I WANT IT' gear lust thing... and that's a real tough one!
Oh well back to the Juggling!
Peace

Re: What do you struggle with?
Thanks for the tips! Those are definitely some methods I have not thought of or tried.Angstrom wrote: I'll also say that I really don't like that arrangement methodology of 'make a big block of clips and chop stuff out of it', it makes me hurt inside when I even think about that. I dislike it a lot. I use several other methods, which other people will hate equally.![]()
