Theirs millions of us!!!

Geez!

I'v been producing for about a year or 2, and was quite proud of myself dealing out demo's to friends and all that. But only the last week have I been exploring sites like this, and especialy www.soundclick.com . And I found out their are literaly millions of guys like you and me who produce. Half of which produce better music than I do. Now I feel really small and I'm hoping maybe some of you guys could give me some moral support...

Nhibberd,

But in the end YOU are unique. Be passionate about what you do and be true to yourself. That is what will set you apart from everybody else.

Kop op mannetje, gewoon lekker muziek maken!

Kinda makes you sit back and feel like you're nothing doesnt it.

Well...if it helps.... 99% of us will never make anything that gets any kind of publicity or attention.

So. You need to ask yourself whether you want to keep at it and realize that the only REAL reason to bother is because you love it and producing music is your passion in life.

Otherwise its pointless. TOTALLY FUTILE.

This is because everything becomes more and more available for everybody. You just download a sequencer, with a load of vst's and you're set.

Practically everyone's a producer nowadays so it seems; it's just overflooded really

yes.. and not only that.. but 80% of those people trying to make the excact same sound..

i got given a good peice of advice the other day, and thats to just not listen to music for a week or 2 weeks i know its hard not to but then when u produce uve got a nice fresh set of ears and can be original.

I can't stop listening to music, so instead I just listen to other genres. Usually gets the creative juices flowing.

Posted by Azza Robinson on Jun-11-2005 12:45:

well i guess then just be as original as u can

Well, i'm 25 now. And only started producing seriously about 3 months ago. I spend about 30 hours a week on it at the monent. And I notice this is really starting to pay off. I'm at least past the phase..."This could be played in a club"

But a short while ago I met a guy of 18 years old who made a lot better shit than me! Explaining what I could improve on and all that. That made me feel shitty. But I did what he said and it really did help. I'm going to be posting links on this site soon where people can listen to my music.

I've noticed that when it comes to EDM fans, a large number are "DJS" and about half the amount of "DJs" are producers or "dj/producers".

Anywhoo. I don't consider myself a producer, even if I spend a lot of time doing it.

Classic Quote,

Fuck it, if you yhink its good then who give a bollox if a guy thats younger than you is better than you.........

you always have to keep thinking you are 'the one', that's the only way to keep motivated, it works for me!

i am the one
i am the one
i am the one
say this another 100 times and you will be producing for the rest of your life, perhaps you will have a release when you are 70 years old...

no seriously quite nice sounds, it's alright, very relaxing, just remove the reverb from the kick

Posted by nhibberd on Jun-12-2005 10:56:

Well, I found a way to motivate myself!!!

Just go to www.astonmartin.com and spend about half an hour staring and drooling, it realy helps.

Posted by Project 7 on Jun-12-2005 14:40:

I meant quit when your famous, you can find my music via website button on this post, total shitty stuff though

Posted by EtherealSL on Jun-13-2005 05:43:

it's funny, yea trance is a genre that's so easy to start producing in.

i was almost about to take a major break from trance and then BAM, i got signed, so you never know what's coming your way, don't let anything stop you from doing what you love

as long as you're satisfied, keep doing what you do

I started playing around with it about 4 years ago. I was really horrible. Then there was the fact that I had a reaaaaalllly old computer that couldn't handle more than ten instruments and more than one or two effects for each. So I just played around in programs and found out which knobs did what and kept on producing crap while getting more familiar with the technology (I didn't have the attention span to actually sit down and read tutorials). Then I started getting involved in communities, reading forums and downloading other people's music, and then BAM, I got that much better in a matter of months.

So what I say is; if it makes you feel small and insignificant, good. That's what's gonna make you strive to get better and better.

Posted by nhibberd on Jun-13-2005 13:44:

I love you guys!!!

But seriously, what you sead about getting involved in communities... Thats exactly what's happening to me right now go to my link and play the track The Origin - Total controll and after that The Origin - Dialogue for instance. Theirs about 1 month in between those tracks and notice the difference in sound quality and overall technique.

By the way that track "Silver Sun" is a f-cking masterpeace. What equipment do you use to get that kind of sound. Doesn't sound like softsynth to me, has a bit of a warm analog feel to it.

That last paragraph was just to sound like I know what i'm talking about and to basicly show off. I'll stop doing that now.

^much much thanks, appreciate it bro. I used FL studio, the lead was done in synth 1, + some distortion fx and whatnot

^i understand exactly what you mean... i listen to old tracks sometimes and then put on the latest track i've made and it makes me feel so good to hear the difference in quality.

good luck with your productions

dude! If you've only been at this for 3 months i have to say i'm VERY impressed. I've been at it for about a year and my trakcs don't even sound close to yours! Though, i don't spend 30 hours a week at it... maybe i should be
