Wu first, everything else 2nd.

sounds about right, brady
i just pretty much never find time to listen to the tracks at all, what with my constant need to listen to wu tang clan

It seems like I'm less interested in listening to other people's tracks when I'm not overly excited about my own. Also, it also seems like what I do listen to those weeks, isn't as bangin'. I'm not sure if it's all in my head or maybe we all get hit with a cosmic shift that influences us to simultaneously make music that I like/dislike.

I know this is a bit late for week 8, but I'm liking working on Weekly Beats WAY more than RPM.  I'm finding the challenge of a weekly song much more satisfying than one album.  It keeps me on my toes and keeps me writing new material.

It's not difficult to make a track a week... just difficult to make a track that i really care about every week

I was really happy with my week 8 submission.  im not loosing steam yet, but i have had to reinvent my writing process a couple times in order to keep it somewhat fresh.  ive really been enjoying listening to how everyone else is evolving through the process too   great job guys!  keep it up!

This is something I do too.
Actually my Week 8 is a perfect example of this, because in the end, I actually just STAPLED another song idea I had mid-week, onto the end of my song. I think it worked though.

I don't like throwing anything away.

Well I'm pretty pleased with my Week 8. I have written acoustic / folk songs before. In fact, I've written many, but they always seem to lack something and I often couldn't put my finger on it. This track felt a lot more mature and like I'd really thought about the flow of it and the chord changes and structure. Actually, I'm most pleased with the lyrics, which tied everything in.

I spent Friday night writing the chords and I messed around with things for a few hours. I liked that progress... I kept changing my mind, but it was a healthy progression. So on Saturday I tackled lyrics and vocal melodies. Again, having that time to focus on the individual elements really gave the song a bit of depth.

Anyway, yep. I am going to attempt to finish WEEK 9 before Sunday. I'm thinking I'm going to slip away from acoustic folk/rock and get back to BIG PHAT BEATS and BASS, as I have been enjoying what I've been learning with this stuff recently. I'm thinking some sort of 'epic' / anthemic kinda HIP HOP thing.

I'm really productive, but I always came up with so much different ideas. Is like I start a project then move to another. At the end of a little period I have 4-5 decent ideas to work with, and my biggest problem is to decide which one will fit the bill.

I'm really into Week 8 submissions, including my own

I'm liking it. It's been good to get in to a 'sit down and create something' habit again, which I'm sad to say I'd let slip. It's also helped me keep my momentum going for my 'one EP a semester' project, with three tracks already in my 'idea for consideration' folder, awaiting the next semester break.

I've set myself some mini-tasks along the way to force myself to use and get used to some plugins I may not have normally gone for, which should be ineresting (for me, at least) in coming months.

took about 4 hours to make my track, maybe another 4 to mix it. but i'm pleased with how it turned out

personally I really liked my track for week 8. it was disjointed and the mix was kinda fucked but the melodies and harmonies turned out great.. had fun experimenting with tossing in 1/3 notes into straight 4/4 time and then jizzing all over kari from mythbusters in my mind

I get stumped for inspiration sometimes. For week  8 I intended to do another guitar only track but with nothing planned. I think it turned out great anyways.

I got a completely oddball idea for this week. I doubt it will work buts its going to be fun trying.

I accidentally my whole Weekly Beat on Sunday afternoon. Too many IRL problems I'm trying to deal with.
