Increasing and Decreasing Energy In Your Track

[Zencha]

Hey guys!

My name is Zac or Zencha and I produce tutorials based around creativity, mindset, workflow, arrangement, and other "non-technical" aspects of music production.

Here's a recent series I posted on my friend Ilpo's site about increasing and decreasing energy in your tracks: http://www.resoundsound.com/increase-de ... gy-tracks/

Hope you guys can get something out of these

This is a great read.

I bought Zencha's book and and it contains a lot of good info on arrangement:

Haha, hopefully you were able to look past it for educational purposes.

I am so glad I found this!

Zac, this is exactly the type of material I need for where I'm at in my personal path to produce an album. I've been studying music for 20+ years and love being a hobbyist "bedroom producer" and would like to start releasing albums. I spent the last few years working on my mixing and mastering skills, but there's an important skill I never developed: finishing tracks.

I get stuck all the time during the arrangement process, and get so frustrated that I do stupid things like throw money away on new commercial plugins that just distract me from the underlying problem and lead to a ton more unfinished songs. Sometimes I become so fed up with myself I can't even bear to produce music for weeks at a time. I must have hundreds of "seeds of ideas" for songs that could be turned into good tracks if I could just figure out how to deal with this.

My new year's resolution is to tackle this problem head on and so I've been looking for things like your ebook (which I will be buying momentarily). Not many people talk or write about this stuff, so please keep it up!

Thanks,
Adam

Would be nice to get a list of the contents. Because I don't buy books if I don't know what's inside. I already know tons of stuff about arrangement, so I'm not sure if I need another book about it...

This was SO helpful; hacking around I've gotten better by using similar concepts that sort of work for energy flow, but I couldn't figure out what was missing. I think (hope) that this tutorial hit the nail on the head.
