Well this week and last week didn't go as planned to say the least. I almost got done with the song I was planning to put it on the music website but It was going to take me a little while longer. I had some things come up and I had no motivation to work on this project. What I am currently working on is making song more stable as in not having it change every 30-45 seconds to a different melody and beat. I struggle with actually being ok with what I make, or I cant decide what to go with and I just do everything together. I think in this next song I did a better job at that. I also experimented with voice changing software, on a serious level. To whoever makes music professionally, you guys are so talented. The singers who sings along, and songwriters who write the lyrics they also so talented as well. Unless you listen to mumble rap where only the beat is ok and everything else is trash. A lot of time goes into everything. Just from making a beat, to actually putting all the different sounds together. Then writing lyrics that fit with the flow. Finally you sing along and try to compliment whatever music you make without sticking out like sore thumb. Every week I'm figuring out more and more about how to use the software more efficiently. Ive been watching more youtube and the things some of those dudes do is incredible. I don't have the time to be those people, but I have time to do what I do best which is find a BS way to make something that sounds decent. I know I complain a lot about the quality of my blogs. I got to work on not doing the blog the night before it is due....Ask any questions if you have any questions about what I am doing.
Well Steven the next blog is your chance for redemption. Full-on podcast, excellently written blog, and some bangin' music. Although you may have less time with basketball starting up, think of it as just giving you more time to plan out your lyrics. If you get this trifecta for your next blog, then your TED talk is already written out for you. Achieving your inspirational tale of redemption for your speech.
ReplyDeleteIts a tale of two cities
DeleteI had no idea so much time and work went into making just one song. I am sure you have put in hours upon hours of work into this genius hour. So, don't let one bad week get you down. I am sure your next blog will be great. Oh, and I can relate with postponing the blog to the very last.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement Kyle. It was better but not yet great.
DeleteSteven, I'm so proud of how far you've come with this project. It doesn't seem like this is a very easy task, so it's okay if you're struggling with it. Some weeks are going to be off, but that is part of the learning process. Are you enjoying this project? What do you plan to do with it afterwards if anything? Keep it up, Steve.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying this project. Would be loving it if I could make some dank tunes but it is what it is. I plan on making music afterwards just for fun, giggles, and its good release to vent stuff.
DeleteThis is amazing. I'm glad you are actually pretty dedicated to this project. This takes a lot of time and effort and I applaud that. I don't think I could ever do what you are currently working on. I hope you find the right beat and words. How many songs are you doing and how good of quality would you rate each one?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the support. I think the final song I make will be the first song hopefully I can be like ya this is my jam bro. I've made a couple others but not really anything special, but its just part of the process.
