Treating music production like a workout is a great life hack. Results may not come in an instant, but we’re getting better in each day.

I relate pretty strongly with the creative process here, some days a good idea just comes instantly almost because I’m not trying anything specific, and others I end up spending hours only to realise this is garbage, what are you doing, delete this now before someone else hears it

Nice to hear! I find it a great way to be free in the creative process and I believe I am making much better music because of it than if I tried to write a complete song every time. Thanks for listening and getting in touch. Take care 🙋🏻‍♀️✨

@Andrii-pw5nk Жыл бұрын

@@Embrrzz this is my experience and a lot of musicians are strugling with this too. It really takes a lot of time and effort to make a good track which lasts longer that a minute and the only reason why I'd go for a 1 min track is just simply to check one or another technique/idea. However I'd never release such a small peace. Anyway it's all subjective feel free just to ignore me, however I can't remember any good song which lasts just a minute... just like in a sex ;)

@@Andrii-pw5nk Once your at the 1 minute mark it's pretty easy to extent to 2 minutes by simply duplicating what you already have and adding something extra ontop second time around and loop the second verse twice add a break down and that's it 3 minuts.

@Andrii-pw5nk Жыл бұрын

@@HOLLASOUNDS hi mate! Sure, I have an idea on how to arrange music and deal with the loops. Approach you mentioned is valid, but however it depends on a lot of things, genre/style for example. I saw a lot of videos over here, like “how to exit a 4bar loop” and sure I had the same problem before. Btw, sometimes you may want to remove some elements after X bars, not just add more
