All those tricks you learn when you experiment is whats going to be your trademark, the more tricks you learn the more things you have to juggle with. When you are limited to a certain amount of tricks your music becomes formulatic! so you need to learn more tricks, you need to experiment more!

there are always risks when you experiment, sometimes you take water over your head and the process is to big to break down to small piece´s!
it often happens to me, i really need to learn from my experiments....

im going to make a collage of some wise words regarding composition and hang them on the wall beside me, its something i have thought of for a long time but never got to it...

i got notes laying all around the places doing no good at all...

thanks for a interesting thread dudes

Three words:

Trackers, Trackers, Trackers.

Ooh... and informative magazine articles too.

On the professional level, do not listen to your A&R guy or your producer..

I find that designing synth patches is a good way to start a composition - I get a sound I like, but it needs a melody. Once I've got that, the rest follows organically.

S_A_P - i think you should listen to those that has good ideas! and those who you work good together with!
but you should never do something that you dont think is good for you...

a wise man once said to me,that near a tree by the river,theres a hole in the ground,where an old man called aaron wanders around scratchin his arse but he will tell you,as with everything let it flow let it flow let it blossom let it grow,at least until its 20 mins long then add more reverb than is actually healthy in built up areas and tadaboom its ambient

No, no, no....you got it all wrong, mate

If want to be on a professional level, it is proper form to first listen politely to your A&R guy and producer...

...then casually ignore them.
