Frustrated

Post by fred »

Hi all
basically i'm frustrated im sick of starting 8 bar loops and never getting anything down
i start a track and think right. This is gonna be a house track. By the end it sounds like a progressive trance track. Which is not what im after at all.
I have done the whole getting rid of samples and only using a select few synths( i have 2 massive & absynth 4) i also know a bit about music theory i know a few producing tricks
so whats the problem???
today i spent nearly the whole day in front of the comp
going from live 7 to logic. Back and forward what a waste of a day. maybe i try to hard maybe i spend to much time at this?

im just ranting
i would like to know what you do in this situation
thanks for listening

I would say you should practice your ears first. Listen to more music

change your enviroment. use some other tool. download a free vst that makes weird sounds. experiment. turn off that delay. only use samples. make a track without drums. make a track with only drums. play. drink beer.

anything is possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!
