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.

i am mostly known for playing bass, but have played guitar much longer. didn't start til i was like 16 or 17, but been playing guitar for over 2 decades now. bass is more recent but i am better at it, i play bass kinda like a guitar with more chords and stuff than the usual bassist.

i also have a keyboard synth and can play percussion. am decent behind the kit, not the worst but not super good, intermediate at best i'd say. i can do free jazz stuff pretty well, harder for me to keep a regular beat, kind of a spazz behind the kit. been sequencing electronic music for nearly as long as playing guitar, so i'd say i'm only slightly more an instrumentalist. i played a hammond through a leslie speaker friday night and got some nice compliments about my keyboard playing, i'm starting to figure that out too. piano was my very first instrument. also have played trombone.

overall, i'm an experimentalist in whatever medium i can possibly get into, whether it's performance on instruments, in a sound studio, or doing visual art.
