Making music

I noticed that there are a lot of TA's around that make music....

Posted by TwoPlow on Feb-26-2004 23:55:

Yeah, I dabble in producing.

i've made some traxx but they're all "a work in progress" because i'll be honest they suck. listening is so much easier

i think producing is something that you would have to get into to become a really big name in the industry.

when i get some money together it's definately something i'd consider.

Why wait? Just do what all the top producers do:

1) Get a mic and a tape recorder
2) Clear your throat
3) Start off with an intro doing something like this "Oom-tss-oom-tss-oom-tss"
4) Add some synths by doing something like this "oooooooweeeeeeeeeooooooooaaaaaaaoooooo"
5) Get some hot chick to sing over your "instrumentals"
6) Add a breakdown by not going "oom-tss" anymore and just go "ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo"
7) Build it back up with a drumroll by doing this: "Tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch"
8) Go back with the "oom-tss-oom-tss"
9) Bring in your "synths" again
10) Have the chick stop singing
11) Remove your "synths" and make an outro by going "oom-tss-oom-tss-oom-tss"
12) Send to a record company and post your work on TA for all of us to enjoy!

yea... I wanna get myself some electric drums but they cost about $10,000. So it's gonna be a while!

While were are on the topic of making music.

I've always wanted to ask this question but i've always been too embarrased.

damn this is so embarrasing....

what does a DJ actually have to do when he is playing live?

I mean, if they're not able to play drums.... do they store the drum beat on something else. I'm mainly lost when it comes to this sorta thing because I have NEVER EVER SEEN A LIVE PERFORMANCE!

and what about melody lines, they store them aswell? if not, what do they play melodies on?

The reason I ask about all this is because I make music but the thing that scares me the most is that I dont think I could ever play live

Posted by UnBracKo on Mar-01-2004 20:59:
