the problem is finding a software sequencer you can get comfortable with. pick one and stick with it, and use it every day. don't give up on a track till you've spent an hour on it, as there's no better practice than finessing an idea you're not sold on to improvement (this will come in handy if you end up doing it for money). with an apt combination of keyboard shortcuts and smart combinations of presets, no amount of software will hold back your ideas from fruition. i use FL studio in this manner to great effect, and can have a 5 minute song assembled to some structure in about 30 minutes. from there it's a matter of EQ and balancing.
another option may be to use something like audiomulch or PD to create the sort of work-flow environment you need to sit down and start sketching.
- przemoc 15y agoThank you for a good tip. Being good in anything usually requires spending some time on it. I'll possibly invest more time if I found that particular sequencer/tool that works as I would like it to and its workflow is convenient for me. I'll check audiomulch later. What is PD?
- meatsock 15y agoPD is pure data, which is an open source clone of the (surprisingly) closed source MAX/MSP. http://puredata.info/ http://puredata.info/ it's basically an open-ended programming environment for music/data/midi -- it's got a steep learning curve but disclaimers like that have no place on a site for hackers =)
- przemoc 15y agoWhoa, another interesting stuff. Thanks for explanation!
