| Have you ever noticed that the coolest and artistic sounds in a new song you are working on happen by accident?? In other words, it wasn't really intentional. Sure the chord or whatever was but your synth patch for example plays some weird sound that just fits perfect with everything else. And you scratch your head in amazement thinking...wow...thats killer! It's one of those kind of magic moments that happens sometimes in making music. I guess only people like us can appreciate and understand this? Its those kinds of things that really make a track unique and completely original, even if it's still basic trance. It's also very hard to recreate sometimes also! Has this happened to you? |

i must say this has happened to me a few times. But some times magic happens on accident.
But I do feel exactly what you are saying. LOL |

Happens all the time, though with my extensive knowledge of DSP, I can usually recreate it, which is nice :D

Yeah... especially if you happen to own analog gear.
though what sucks is whenever I find this moment of genious I'm either not recording or I'm just playing around. I especially hate it when I have a melody that just sounds perfect and I don't capture it.
It's like jerking off instead of firing into a fertile hole to produce baby geniouses
:) (forgive crude analogy)
I must have "happened" on enough riffs and sounds to have 3 albums full but none of it captured. Worst thing for me is when I start recording, I somehow get this writers' block. It's like "now you have to try and make it sound nice instead of goofing off".
I need to train my mind to ease up when "rec" button is pressed.
OH, and some of my worst experiences were with new synths that I did not know how to program. I'd make a killer sound, try and save it as documented - "Press this button, then stand on your hands and with your left toe press the rightmost button while twidling the other button with you left toe and then chant the serial number in latin"
...only to find that I did not save the patch. :whip:
bummer, ainit? |

so horrible that the whole thread died. all my sounds happens on accident. just turning knobs all the time is fun. |
you know what..you kind of made a good point. Remember the time when you 1st started producing music when you didn't know what the hell you were really doing? I know I sure do. I would just push buttons and turn knobs till something sounded good. LOL :stongue: |

I'm still doing that now lol - I'm at technical but know what sounds good so I keep twisting things and changing things until they sound good then i run a few root notes together with my bassline, stick in a couple of swooshes, some panning, some dirty vocal adn bobs your uncle :)
I might aactually learn one day what I'm doing |

| Yea, happy accidents are great. Good DJ's and muso's have this happen to them all the time while playing live, and the average dj would see it as an error and be shamefaced, but a good dj/muso will see the magic in it and recover to create someting awesome! |
