im_sorry posted:Well, generally I start with a 64 step drum/instrument 1/instrument 2 pattern that I generate with the Beatstep Pro and/or draw notes for manually in the DAW, after plinking away at a MIDI keyboard until I get something I can use. Then I'll copy and paste that pattern a few times, copy it to some additional layers (change parts to chord sections when needed or whatever), have parts repeat where they need to, transpose some parts up and down if it doesn't end up sounding lovely, reduce and increase the number of instruments when needed, edit the sequences to sound different from the other layers, etc. Then I do the intro and outro. But it's all generally based on what I come up with in those initial patterns. You could try changing some of your default structures. Like, what happens if you make a song that's six minutes long? Or ten? What can you do to keep the phrases you've written interesting in those cases? Or you could try writing a song that doesn't pivot around a breakdown, maybe a more traditional verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus structure. Or see if you can write a cool song using 32-bar AABA.

im_sorry posted:Finally, after having the unlabeled cassettes of "The Air Conditioner Graveyard" for like two years, and getting the labels and covers done early this year, I've come up with the motivation to start putting them together for shipping and sent out some. I have to cut the middles out of the tape labels with scissors, since the printing place couldn't do it, so they look a little handmade, but I think it adds to the charm. I've only been sending them to people I know personally so far, but I'm thinking of putting them up for sale on my Bandcamp page at some point for $4.20 + shipping. I had around 40 cassettes made, and the total price for everything was around $275 Cdn. I'm probably losing money in the end, but I would have wasted that money on something else that was completely stupid, so I don't really care. It's super cool that you made tapes of your music! It sounds like a lot of fun

I finally picked up some flat-response monitor headphones and oh my god I can hear everything.

4lokos basilisk posted:what make & model? I got the old Sony MDR-7506es. I was also looking at the ATH-M50X but people seemed to complain those were a little uncomfortable, so I went with the Sonys. I was wearing them for a good 3 hours just now working in Ableton and they never got uncomfy, so I'm pleased with that choice.
