In defence of DAWposing and music written on the computedr, the production is often quite impressive, with quirky noises and novel instrumentation, but for a me, a catchy 2 bar ditty might be novel, but not enduring as a well crafted and inspired song would be, the catchy 2 bar ditty is too easily ...

My point is that to make money from music most of us have to compromise and play stuff we wouldn't otherwise choose to play.

Life can be tough a times.

So something dawned on me and I've been wanting to hear some other opinions. If I try to make music as a professional and have a career from music, I will inevitably on some level be making music for the money. I know that sounds kind of weird because I know that I make music because I love ...

Melodyne will allow you to put the out of tune note in tune.

Hello, I stumbled upon this live performance by german songwriter Wolf Biermann and I'm impressed by his fingerpicking style. Anyone knows or can hear the picking pattern he plays in the verses? It sounds really fast and complex. Thanks in advance! https://youtu.be/2zZtqBrwpnM It's a classical ...

Has he gone to GREEN-er pastures?

Blimey, if only!

Erik Satie, my ultimate hero, my mentor, my biggest influence, he holds my hand, he died in poverty, he used to shit on the floor

Ah, that explains Gymnopedie No.2 then.

To be fair, Sinatra was not completly organic but heavly pushed by the new york mafia(?)

Wasn't it the new york, new york mafia?

He used to post on here I think.

Really? How interesting, seriously.

Yes. He was quite good on the drums too if I recall. How he found time to learn drums whilst running Island Records is, quite frankly, remarkable. Respect.

U could have the drums come in at 31 secs. Not from the beginning.

It's not too difficult to create yer own sound library tho. Then you get the results you want. I spent a week going round the house recording just about everything and those recordings have been very useful and you know you have something unique at the end of it. It sounds like you have basic ...

Its all so complex I am starting to stop caring about making music for a "living" It seems whatever you do (unless you are a big name) is futile. That is sad to hear and I do feel for ya. Being a composer is very tough and music is maybe the toughest industry to earn money in. What in particular is ...

Hiya. Yes, PRS are terrible at replying. However, raising the issue on the Scorecast London FB page will get you a response.

WTF is it with singers?!?!

I have never had a problem with them.

Your thinking is all wrong. You need to educate yourself on copyright.

Well, I don't know about anyone else here but I am at a loss at what to do regarding music for use in libraries etc. Fortunately I make most of my earnings with sound effects but as companies have fallen, sales have been reduced from a decent licence to the price of a cup of coffee I am pretty ...

Curious what Key you guys use when using auto tune for vocals. I know the "classic T Pain" style is a C Major but I have been using D-Major on my vocals and it seems to sound better.
