Saying your song is good not arrogant. Of course, you're going to like your music if in fact you are making it without any outside interference. If your making it for someone or having someone else's input then you may or may not like it. Its natural and normal for you to like your own music. Why else would you be putting in the work to make the song anyways?? LOL its not arrogance unless you rub it in or if the majority of people tell you it sucks and you have no arguement other than "no it doesn't."

fine with me i admit, to get something effortlessly done, one has to do a lot of efforts before.

When rock'n'roll was starting, people were probably whining, 'who needs a conductor now?' Nothing changed. The industry was always pushing shit, this is what it does. It may smell a little different now, but it's the same old shit. I don't think it's relevant. Does it matter, if it was made by a skillfull musician or an electronic device, if it smells in the end?

No, actually, they weren't. Conductors were ensconced in their own little semi-obscure niche long before rock and roll became an economic force.



Obviously it does to some people.

I personally like the machine like accuracy of sequenced music....if the material is interesting enough. What gets to me is when you have uninteresting musical ideas and machines executing them, without the natural variations and imperfections that performing humans introduce.

But obviously there are millions of people who couldn't care less about these subtleties, so long as there is a simple beat to act as a soundtrack to their club-based mating rituals. So whether or not these things matter to someone will be a reflection of the function of music in their life.

we're going round in circles, we're superflies!

when i listen to music, i like, i forget all the music i dislike immediately.

want!

I think that can work opposite in society today..

talk big (many) people think you're big.. keep modest and (many) people think your ability is at a modest level..

music is expression of thought and feelings, nothing more, nothing less.
stop trying to cage something that has no mass, it will not work.
lose the fear of change and do what thou will, that shall be the whole of the law.

First off, working with someone who doesn't consider their music good would be a joke. imo Unless their just starting out. Even then I would consider it barely forgivable. It would be a waste of time to do otherwise. Unsure? Ask someone who knows your style of music AND WHO DOESN'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS. Don't over sell it or under sell it, be right on the money. That's your reputation, it's up to you. Get the word out.

That's as much as I can say without knowing more specifics of you situation.


Good Luck

it's the same thing, but in this case it's not about what people think...it's about what people will expect based on what they think

My point had nothing Chinese philosophy though, it's common sense and over selling yourself which imho is never a good idea.

My wife just bought one as a birthday present for her best friend.
