Maybe you should focus on the production bit more rather than getting all these "powerful synths" and "nice programs"... just a thought.

"I'm currently making a new remix. On what song i don't know. But its going to be a really neat song. I cannot wait untill it comes out!"

I might be stupid, but I found this quote to a bit odd!

why the tardiness?!

you ought to have informed us of this back in 2001 or so

hahaha

thread starter, good luck onyour album, also, try and produce like 1 and half times as many tracks as you can fit on one cd
that way you can choose which ones are best

also i listened to some tracks at your webpage, tbh, it sounds really amatuerish. the percussion is pretty weak. you need to get better samples and use some fx on those. the synths are weak too, are you using any fx on there (like reverb or filter or chorus or whatever). i did a search, looks like you posted some stuff in the other section, but yea, based on hearing your stuff, it sounds like you just started recently. with that said, you should be concentrating and improving your production techniques instead of trying to release an album in six months and starting on it now. becuase in six months, your production skills can improve greatly, and you will be dissatisfied with what you have made for it already. i know, because i was trying to make an album earlier this year and i even made enough tracks and shit, and i look back on the album, and at the time when i made all those tracks, they sounded good to me, because it was the best i could do at that time, but now they are no good to me anymore. why? because i practiced and got better. they were a learning tool and that is probably how you should treat your songs till you improve a bit more. dont take this as i am shooting you down, but yea, work on the production techniques, because "very powerful" synths dont make your song automatically good. i use the same vsts now that i used in january, and if you heard any of my songs from back then and now, you will notice a difference, and its not the synths so much as my production techniques. hope that helps or something

btw, no matter how good you think your song is, its not good enough until someone else asks you if you are going to send it to labels =)
(provided that you show other people), which you should do, because other people see flaws in your music that you wont.

coleman, I'm not gonna hate on you kid, but starting a thread to say you're making something is pretty dumb. Thats like me starting a thread saying I am going to be mixing a new cd soon. So what? When I mix it, then I will post it. I am not going to advertise something 6 months away -- especially if all I got is the intro done.

I thought you were done with the noob postings.

end of rant.

This is a great post. I think this should be a sticky in all the promotion forums.


I feel the same way about my Dj'ing as you do about your production work. I look back at some of my older mixes and I say to myself ' I could have done this better' or 'why did I use that track' or 'that was shitty' or ' fuck only if knew what I know now' etc. But I think by putting yourself out there you learn shit about yourself and your work that you couldn't if you wait and wait until that perfect moment. Why? In my experience I think you start to become even more aware of your work once its out in the public than if where just on your computer

Obviously all of us want to impress people immediately but I think we will find greater reward in our future success when you struggle and work hard to be your best.

What's with the title of the cd? It sorta reminds me of that Tupac album a few years ago entitled "Still I Rise".
