Counterpoint (to the OP): people who take their output seriously practice. And people who practice take their output seriously. That's true no matter what skills you're practicing. And practice is the whole point of WB.

As far as I'm concerned, everybody here is a real musician. Everyone's putting in the work to improve and do something cool.

Case in point: this total banger. Well done.

A proper banger, we're not real musicians, we've transcended that and have become more, bodies of pure waveforms.
Also fuck that guy, he can die mad.

I really enjoyed the work with the piano and how it plays against the vocals! Great job! Also, that "real musician" can suck on a fat toad. Real musicians make music. I'm 100% aware that the shitty music I make isn't for mainstream audiences. It's not made for mass consumption and very VERY few people are going to think it's even recognizable as music. And I'm fine with that. I can fully recognize that I don't have the talent or chops of people who perform live or in an Orchestra or anything like that.
But I just find it weird that your constant musical output through weekly beats is in someway offensive to this person. Like levelcapybara said, this is a way to practice. You just so happen to be publishing your practice sessions along the way.
Anyways, essay mode off. This song is fun and don't let anyone's bile take that away. You're awesome.

the delicious irony is that this track has a lot of musicianship on display, from the mixing to the drum programming to the piano chords!

I like the up tempo drum n bass vibe on this one.

You're totally a real musician! Never doubt that.
...This "Beethoven" guy can be one too I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wow this is great. I really enjoy how the piano sits in this mix. So much fun and so much great energy.

could you make this 20% faster?

This whole incident reminded of an interview with Trent Reznor where he was lamenting how the home recording revolution enabled people who have *no business making music* (paraphrasing what I remember). It really annoyed me, and stuck with me. Fuck the haters, keep doing your thing. Great piano parts in this track, cool chords.

The OP probably thinks Beethoven is a dog

I like the crazy piano line and beat. When the choir comes in it feels v epic

Btw I listened on the phone as real music is meant to be enjoyed

Really sick tune! Keep it up!

first off.. this track is awesome..  secondly, In relation to the pic. I proudly produce "not-music" and honestly I prefer it that way.. because unlike people who produce "real-music", my art has no boundaries.

ok but really I'm joking. but the hot takes about people being official make me laugh, because humans are the ones who decide what is official, and what this label and that label criteria is.. it's all made up. Love the track. Keep doing it please!

Using WB and the limitations of the M8 to relearn having fun with music rather than chasing "proper musician status".
People like that guy miss the point of expressing yourself entirely, and I feel your posts might have triggered some insecurity regarding their own output.
That being said, you've made a really fun track here that you should be proud of!

Slaaaaps. Don’t know how I missed this one this week. Piano line is killer, and the speeeeeeed. We’re jammin out, but there’s places to go. Angels to sing.

wow I just checked that guys's twitter feed and... I think you should be happy not to have that in your followers, what an insufferable cunt.

I also love that this, of course, comes from someone WHO DOESN'T FUCKING MAKE MUSIC ...

Meanwhile: that bassline is fucking fire and I hope our little friend burns in it ;P
The progression is A++, love that japanese VGM funk kinda feeling, then vocals come in and I think it's mr bungle or something XD

Yeah, Vince was my best friend for several years durnig highschool.. I lost contact with him for a couple of decades and i dont know, someone must have really hurt him or something cause he is totally unhinged now.. He used to be totally punk rock and food not bombs and what not. Now he's like a neonazi or some shit. I gave him every opportunity to still be my friend, but it's over now.

Also, I listened to this week and forgot to comment. Great song and fuck that guy. I have a work bud that's now a totally unhinged Qanon dude. It blows my mind, I don't know what happened to him. He was always so empathetic and a great leader but in his spare time he's posting some heinous shit online. Sounds like something similar happened with your former friend. Its crazy how fucked up people have gotten. Hopefully he gets his shit together someday and messages you back like "Man, I don't know what the fuck I was going on about. Sorry."
