To elaborate a bit more on how I personally do my songs at this point in time, I basically just work out a couple good synths for melody, bass, chords, whatnot. After I've got all the actual music written, I work out drums, white noise, all that stuff, and put it all in. For drums I usually just select a good sounding kick, hat, and snare from the FL Browser, and run them through the mixer with a lot of Soundgooderizer and Fruity Waveshaper. After I've got the basic position of where I want things (verse, chorus, build-ups, etc...) I go through and mess with volumes, panning, redoing synths, fixing melodies, until it all sounds good to me. I use no real standards as to where to mix things to and stuff, but I try to keep it from peaking too badly. I feel kind of ashamed after reading some of the stuff here, though. I really don't know that much.

I think it'd be cool to do it where both WB'ers work out a song, and then they both make their own mixes of it. You get the same song, but remixed by both parties.

Part of me wishes I had a job. However, the weekly beats part of me knows its for the better

Now, stop working so much and listen to more music!

I've been busy. So busy that I completely forgot to upload my song this past week. I wrote it, exported it, named it, and even thought about it. It just completely slipped my mind in the end. I'm an awful person.

Alright. Thanks. I'll have to gather up some other tunes for Sunday.

If I try to do homework and music at the same time, I end up with an unfinished assignment and an unfinished song. No thanks.

I think the theme should be silence. Make a silent song. Sure, make a real song, but then turn the volume all the way down before you export it to MP3.
