1. Element creation: I make the stuff that's gonna be in the song.
2. Arrangement: I use the elements I previously created to arrange a song. I add more elements as needed.
3. Critique: This is where I send it out to others, and get peoples' opinions on it, so I can fix it before putting it on Newgrounds, where it has to be effectively finished.

yeah I start alot of tracks just for shits and giggles, with an instrument, try an effect. i have a "new project" folder filled with little 2 second things. sometimes the little thing i do will click and I'll end up with a song like caverns of time.

I never dont finish a song I put more than an hour of work into.

about the criticism thing, this is horrible! never send your tracks to other to be critiqued UNTIL you say its finished. I used to think this was the key to getting better. it isn't! it kills your morale and makes you think you're song is either better or worse than it actually is.

a sexy yardstick you can measure whether a song is finished or not by is "would i listen to this on loop repeatedly for hours on end"

that isn't a definitive yardstick, but its the one i use, and my songs really move me! when they are finished. I don't try to please people. just myself.

If you truly, truly know something is off with your song but you've been listenening to it for hours upon hours, and your sense of sound is distorted to it. leave for about a week or two and come back. you will clearly hear the issues and know what to do. I just did this on my "move for freedom revamped" track, it sounds PHENOMENAL now! gonna upload soon :)

when it comes to me making music there are two situations:

I sit down at my laptop and I'm either in the groove or I'm not

In the groove, I make awesome music! ideas come effortlessly, the song flows,a nd I can "feel" the song out as I'm making it.

or I sit down and I get log jammed and don't feel it, in which case i leave and come back until I;m in the groove.

This all comes down to how little thought you ahve during the proccess, ie. how focused you are on the music itself.

What do you think?

so every person who ever heard the song liked it more than anything theyve ever heard before. it was perfect. get real lol.

there's probably many people who didnt like it

At 11/28/08 01:02 PM, Nav wrote: It means that you have conformed completely to the obscure standards of most Newgroundsers, and your music cannot succeed in the outside world, since NGers don't know shit about production quality.

from an even higher perspective, no matter how "good your song is" it can NEVER be perfect, becuase music is subjective. its impossible to make a "perfect" song.

most famous songs are famous becuase people have heard them so many times, not becuase they are good. it is said people like what theyve listened to the most.

everything that is possible has been done multiple times. there are millions of musicians and billions of songs.

what people have heard the most, if you tap into that they will like your song

point out one artist where every person says there stuff is perfect

But later. Remind me sometime during the day if you get a chance (:

yeah, sure. and elvis is still alive too

Yea... I'm not a boy XD

alright, post a picture of yourself right now holding a sign that says "I <3 DjBjra"

good luck finding a googled pic of the girl you got on your profile holding that sign.

imagine this

take a 20 hz sine wave, and pitch it up 1 hz 19,980 times until you have 1 sine wav for each frequency, 20 hz to 20 khz.

play them simultaneously for 3-4 minutes. instant hit song

At 11/27/08 10:38 PM, diminitive wrote: No, not at all! It just makes it louder, so people get the initial impression that the music is "boom! in your face" kinda thing when they listen to it. But compression destroys dynamics of a mix like you wouldn't believe! You'd be amazed by how much better it would sound if you left your song un compressed, and just turned up the volume on your CD player / stereo. All dynamics are left in-tact, leaving the punchiness. Of course, soft compression is a way to compromise between the two sides.

Bjra, you might be interested in this video if you haven't already seen it.

The Loudness War

no I wasn't talking about slightly bringing frequencies up, and simply losing dynamics. I was talking about having all frequencies 20 hz to 20 khz simultaneously at 0 db continuously for the entire song. like white noise on roids

you know, that rich and thick professional sound

At 11/27/08 10:22 PM, diminitive wrote: Yes, I agree entirely with Loadsindi. Loudness isn't the ONLY goal when mastering a track you know. Might want to look into it a bit more.

Lol, I contradicted that statement with my latest song.

but if all the frequencies arent at 0db the entire song, doesnt that make this mix sound dry and unproffessional?

look who's talking, mr. I'm a 17 year old female student

I just realized the miscommunication here

In my first post I meant critic as in someone who is critical of your song in a negative connotation of the word. someone who just doesn't like it. someone who feels compelled to complain about it. people who take their time and effort to critically analyze and present issues and solutions are a whole other ballpark

No, it didn't, and when I linked you to karco's reviews, obviously I saw that. Which only proves my point that YOU, Bjra, are wrong about what you're saying. Karco's review is critique, not some random guy saying you suck. Why wouldn't you start a thread about Karco then?

did you skim over the entirety of my first post

you did bring up a good point in your first post. long, critical reviews have a great capacity to be helpful.

nope. the only thing my new identity has brought me are penis pics in my inbox

its been years of making shitty songs, sending them to people and having them say "good job man"

now i notice people will love my tracks entirely or hate them. its much more polarized and energetic now.

a guy just told me "you tracks are generic, and not in the good way"

FINALLY! no more bored listeners with their stock good job man" some genuine critics!

critics may be able to point out problems in your music, but this is a minor benefit. they show you that you are progressing as a musician. the better you get, the more hate you will get. the more criticism.

they act as a marker to your success
