i don't want to brag, but i do find myself very gifted in music and i've been playing music all my life (classical violin, jazz soloing trombone, guitar)

I think this has helped given me an edge in producing... Although when I first started, I believed myself to be very talented and all that (i remember one time i would keep clicking on my own mp3 account in hopes of getting more hits lol)... However, the technical aspect is one thing I still need to perfect myself on...

Personally, I've never had this "killer tune" in my head... all my melodies just come very naturally and easily due to all that musical background.. it almost seems logical to me sometimes...

Also, a final word of advice... I personally tend to stay away from sites like mp3.com or soundclick or whatever, unless you truly have nowhere to host your tracks... You always tend to try to compare yourself with other producers on there and (not to say there aren't some really good talent in there) the majority aren't very good... Also, the stats tend to throw you off... (just because you have tons of listens doesn't mean you are good) and there are a lot of people who just look at your artist site, get your e-mail and e-mail you a bunch of stuff like asking you to send off demos or some professional cd design covers, etc....

My advice... be modest... let people hear your music... they can steal it and say they made it or do whatever they want with it... but one thing they can't take away is your passion and talent for producing music... I've already had several of my tracks being ripped off by one or more assholes (who i won't mention) but it really doesn't matter for me... They can say that the track is theirs... can even get a label to sign them with that track.. but one thing they can't do is take away my passion and talent for music producing... I personally don't know if right now my quality of my tracks are good enough to get signed... but i know one day, if i just keep at it... I don't want to sound cocky, but I do believe that I make good music and i have a very good musical ear and knowledge that will help me one day hopefully make a "killer" track... I'll (hopefully) get signed and make some extra dough to pay off that damn univesrity tuition!!
