A big thing getting in the way of me doing any sort of official releases has always been artwork. I’m trying to get around that by learning how to use jWildfire and fractal flames to create something evocative. Here’s one of my attempts.

Put my first EP out on bandcamp, link in the our music section, and someone actually paid money for it today.
First time I’ve ever sold a music release!

Congrats! That’s a seriously great accomplishment, and it’s a wonderful feeling.

Well, this didn’t age well.
Alright, so for 2024, I am committing to -1 release. That’s right, not only do I predict I will not release anything, but someone will steal one of my current releases.
The bar is set very low. Let the games begin!

lol, I’d be kinda proud if someone would consider my music good enough to release under their own name

Yeah, but that one release you released was pretty darn good! Thats a quality over quantity structure. You can’t beat it

music to annoy my neighbors was pretty awesome though so I don’t know if I can take this statement at face value.

Lately I’ve been doing a variety pack of tracks including tech house, synthwave, nu disco, dance pop, lofi, etc. Some of that has been in the last month to get my Ableton chops going, as I recently switched from Reason.
My next stuff, in progress, is in the LA club bass house vein. I have a couple friends who run labels focused on that stuff, so I’m hoping to do an EP worth and get it out there on a label. That’s my 2024 release plan. We’ll see how that goes.

BOOOOOOO!
I demand music from you! I’m about to grab my signs and take it to the streets!
Random question, COMPLETELY unrelated- what city do you live in?

Hi guys. So I am working on some stuff and getting back into the flow of regularly working on music. Going great with my deadline of 10 ‘finished’ tracks at the end of the quarter.
I do notice I keep getting stuck in polishing and adjusting minor things like compression a lot. By that time I have heard the sounds/arrangement so many times it is pretty hard to make rigorous changes, even if necessary.
So what would you say is a ‘finished’ track? Something that only needs to get mixed? Maybe 80-90% of the arrangement done with a few minor tweaks left and then move on? I could then later decide to pick the tracks I want to send to labels and make those minor tweaks in a sort of final mixdown stage.
What is your workflow regarding this?

The professional approach would probably be to work on something else to refresh your senses

I think arrangements are what makes tracks finished.
Mix and fx are the cherry on top and can have a huge importance of the track. But if there’s no arrangement/story telling, a perfect mix or compressor setting isn’t going to finish the track for you.

Cranked out another ep.
For what it’s worth (pun intended) all my stuff is now free download.
thanks for downloading. it helps the stats even if you don’t listen to it.
