I have one evening a week reserved to making a track. After that I try to use every spare minute I can find to improve the mixing, but I never seem to have enough time. It is quite stressy, but this way I learn to work a bit more efficient, which isn't too bad smile

yeah, it's almost impossible to create a track in a week that sounds as good as normal production, but sometimes it's possible. there will be off weeks though... wasn't super happy with first week, but last week's was a rad new experiment and this weeks might be even better but a bit different.

I stress out every week... but then I somehow manage to pump something out! I'm just about ready now! 2 days early! Woo!

yeah it's a lot of work or practice or however you want to look at it, but it really does help in the long run to do the challenge.

I've been experimenting with different methods to streamline the process. I've been starting to jam out and get to where a loop or an idea is fully fleshed out. From there I scale back and try to introduce that idea. I'll do that another time and jam between them.

yeah improvisation and then effective editing, or making a sample library from a jam and then doing a quick sequencing is the most efficient way to work.

tried a new way of sequencing beats that i have been thinking about doing for years, and it worked better than expected. 2 really weird synth tracks too, one from a korg poly800 and the other from a gakken, both through reverbs and delays which changed the character of the sounds.

i keep tinkering with the finally master, maybe I'll run it again. in the meantime, ready to chat i guess. how is everyone's start going? my tracks started out on the long side but are getting progressively a bit shorter. in a few weeks, maybe i'll be under 5 minutes! ha, yeah right.

Who downloads MP3's anymore anyway?

I do, I hate streaming, it is too dependent on a stable connection. mp3s all the way for me. I only download the tracks i like though.

I can see your image on your music post and also the bigger image below.
Maybe it's related to wherever you're hosting the image, sometimes it ends in .jpg but it's actually something else like a script (imgur does this now, super annoying)

oh weird, the image is not showing up in my browser, glad it is working smile

Try a plugin like Easy Image Embed
Then you can just right click on an image and copy it's bbcode to your clipboard. Super easy.

sometimes i can get the html to work, but not today. what is the easiest and best way to display images on here? can we just get some kind of link setup so that we don't have to put in the code?
