true that, that's exactly the way I think about making music! forgot to mention this on my previous post.

Because when i think of some tune , I feel that i really really need to write it down , and prevent it from fading away , into the shadows of nothingness.

cause i want to and i enjoy it when someone says thats a nice tune and they cant believe you made it.

Some of us are just wired for it. I wish more women were involved with EDM. I've actually got a little scientific answer as to why men dominate EDM.

There was a study done on males/females regarding instrumental(classical)/vocal music. The males had like a 20% chance of liking instrumental vs. female. That still doesn't represent the disproportionate amount of men vs. women but it does shine a little light on it. My ex-girlfriend absolutely couldn't stand instrumental music. Some people, and more so females, just have to have lyrics I guess.

Somebody on who with a lot of money to blow needs to have a study done on female vocal tracks and male vocal tracks over all genres of EDM and see how it all stacks up then.

As for my personal answer to the question - I make music because I flat out love it. I feel blessed to have a hobby that I have such a passion for. I don't know how some people go through life without having hobbies of real substance (I hate to pick on women here, but they tend to not have hobbies, and no, shopping is not a hobby. Can you believe I had a female patient tell me tonight she had shoppers elbow from swiping her CC too much....she was kidding of course, but jeeeezzz...)

I lay in bed at night (we all do, don't we?) dreaming up amazing melodies complimented by mind boggling basses and break downs. Now if we could only program that into our sequencers quicker and more efficiently.

I don't know...seriously...

The closest reply here was palm's "To avoid exploding"

and someone else has said therapy...yeah definitely that...


Stephen Wiley: Actually I think it's a little deeper than just having vocals in a song.
I mean...have a drum loop one with a simple synth and one with a vocal (doesn't have to be words just meaningless uhhhs ahhhs and such), which will sound a bit more "lively" to you?
I am sure the one with vocal.
Also whenever I make a completely instrumental track and I add some chopped vocals there it certainly does brighten the whole track up a lot...
So I guess it's more about this "more human" feel of the track than the lyrics...I might be wrong, though!

I use the ol�miss right hand for that stuff.

I downloaded fl studio, made absolute crap. Mind bogglingly bad shit. Got hooked instantly.
I don+t wanna give up, before I make as good music as my idols - if ever. Obsession

i tell u why girls dont like edm. its a known fact that girls can do more than one thing at once, while men can only focus on one thing at a time. i saw a program on TV prooving this on kids. First they put some male kids in a cage and started raining down money-bills on them. The boys instinctily started collected one bill after another after another. All the boys had their pocket filled with money after the test. Now the same test was done on girls. I almost fell out of my sofa when I saw the result; the stupid girls tried to take all the money at one single time making it absolutely impossible to catch a single bill. They just ran in circles waving their arms all over the place. It was just too much information for them to handle at one time, their mind was at overload looking for all those bills, and it all ended up in all the girls ranning into each other and fell on the floor crying. I was out of tears laughing and I bet my GF considered breaking up with me atm. I bet its the same with music, these girls are focusing on all the sounds at once making their brains boil, while boys (normally) will have to listen to a track like 10-20 times before knowing all the elements. This again makes girls favour easy music like RNB and Balads which has just a few elements: drums, melody, vocals, beacuse eventhough girls can do more than one thing at the same time their skills in it is oposit linear with the number of activities. When they reach their limit (say three or four diferent stuff at one time) theyr complitely loosing it, and they know it damn good themself too so they try not to overgo that limit. So they chew gum and talk at the same time as watching TV. Thats it. You put on some music while their doing this they either fail at their arguments in the talk, loosing the gum in their lap or forget the story of the movie their watchning. If ur putting on EDM all these things happends at the same time. BTW the reason why more and more girls seems to attend EDM parties lately is beacuse of minimal. They manage to listen to at the same time as they dance, but they forget to look good though. Atm my GF is trying to read a book while watching TV, and im putting on the new Prodigy CD here, lets see whats going to happen.

What are you talking about? I make music for the chicks. There is nothing sexier to a woman than a man carrying a laptop as opposed to a guitar. I carry my laptop everywhere I go just to see chicks stare at me.

There is nothing sexier to a woman than faceless dance music. Chicks go gaga when they hear me adjust my filter settings to get the right sound (takes about a minute) and they're like "ooo" when I loop the first 2 notes of an 8 bar melody i'm trying to make with clicks of a mouse.

And when I mix what seems to be an unmixable clash of vocals and leads through clever automation, they just throw their panties at me.
