Im losing it

Help me please. I m starting to make a trance track. im originally looking to make something along the lines of PVD like another way style tune. my drums sound like a janet jackson dance remix(together again) and the more and more i do to it its sounds more and more like a Scooter tune it will probably rock the helterskelter /dreamscape days but this is 2008 id rather it found its way into armin van buurens bag not slipmatt . HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

begin over. i have often the same problam that my projects go to hell and beyond help. i just let that project lie there to die.

Think im going to have to do that. problem is i got the same game plan when i start up again!!

I concur.

I would just start over.

Agreed... it sucks to scrap all the work you put into it, but start over with new samples/sounds, new patterns, everthing and give it another shot. I've done this twice on the track I'm working on. Sucks, but each time it gets better. (Makes me want to completely redo my song on MySpace now that I've learned a bunch more.)

Yup. Start over. But keep the busted track around.

Someday you'll be thinking "Hmm... I could use the two parts of that dirty garbage that actually didn't suck in this track."

It'll be cool cool to able to keep 2 parts!! ha .
thanks peeps. where do you guys learn to get the sound quaility right? ie the right reverb and right compression.
secondly in logic 7 how can i make some strings or pads whatever and hard pan them left and right with ouit making a new trakck and copying the settings?

thanks again peeps!

anyone that can make a janet jackson dance remix is ok in my book

I abandon projects way too easy.. if it starts to sound good I will get all happy and then save it separately on an entire different folder. I will then like tweak it and then end up hating all different saves of the project because I get way too tired of my sound.

Is this normal? It makes it so hard for me to complete a track.

Once you feel happy with what you've done just stop and lay off the track for a while (days, even weeks!)

You'll see that taking more distance to the track and being less intimate with it will allow to criticize yourself better and have a fresh look on your track

Good luck.

I've already lost it...

what's the problem?

Here is what I want to say to all of you. I understand the desire to make your track sound like Paul van Dyk's next greatest hit or like Armin's new Dancefloor Destroyer, but ultimately it's a toss up. The thing that all of the great trance artists have in common is that they are constantly changing their style and breaking the envelope in their productions. You have got to be yourself and let your own soul define your music. If you want it to sound fresh and new, you shouldn't worry about instruments and how much it sounds like pvd, but about composition and how much people will want to dance to it. Don't limit yourself by trying to imitate those who do NOT.

yup, start over. Its the best way to get back on track.

Good advice. I have so many projects I started and got bored of. Then I open them up a few days or weeks later and I'm like why didn't I finish that!!

Well, I think 2005 or maybe 2006, but I have a high tolerance for cheese
