@luciascarlet Thought this was an old Tasty background

BIGIS

Does anyone following use templates? What kind of stuff do you include?

@FaziusMusic @OfficiallyMizu This sounds fantastic!!

Ambition w/@OfficiallyMizu is coming out on August 25th on Exobolt 010. check out this amazing teaser :)

Gonna buy Spire finally and FM8 since they're both on sale

Who tryna collab?

@KozoroMusic Agreed, its crazy how quickly you naturally get ideas when listening to something someone else is working on.

@ItsUnison also, start with a buddy if you can't on your own, sometimes a different perspective that isn't your own can really light up the dark and suddenly you see everything you couldn't before

Protip to start ideas: Find a decent 8/16+ bar vocal loop on Splice and work from that. Gives you some guidance for harmony and can quickly give your chords context, making them sound nicer. Helps if you have a midi keyboard to jam on

best old Skrillex? Right In is my fav

@ElectroLightEDM Thanks! It's hard to imagine so many people deal with self-doubt, guess it's part of the process

@ItsUnison Don't give up you got this! Just sometimes need to really grind through the self doubt I find sometimes!

Having not really seriously made music in a while, coming back to FL Studio now and then to mess around, it feels impossible to get back to making full songs (something I've always struggled with). Also gave me newfound appreciation for producers, people are nuts at music.

@FaziusMusic I imagine its something a lot of artists struggle with. I wish there was an easy way to get out of this kind of rut. I think the feeling of "forcing yourself" comes partially from doubt about what you're making, second-guessing ideas. Should just make stuff and not care.

@ItsUnison So then I take like big breaks and barely make any music, to come back to make what I actually like, and then make new ideas or try to advance in old ones, but then I get back again to forcing myself to make music and it becomes an endless cycle.

I keep promising myself every 3-4 months that I will seriously get back into music, end up starting some ideas, but then quickly drift away and make excuses.

I think you should fundamentally just be creating and exploring for yourself. You should have fun but don't just stay in your comfort zone. Make stuff that you enjoy, at the end of the day your unique taste and ideas are what make you interesting.

Feeling insecure when you are trying to create something is honestly stupid and I wish I had a different mindset. There is a feeling that you might be wasting time, spending hours on an ID only for it to sound trash the next day.

Finally sent a proper request to Soundcloud to get rid of all the JUNK on my page from other artists

@IAmSyntact Fire Breazze, Spinnin peaked when they put that out

alright so who remembers the name of the song that was on YouTube as "deadmau5 - meow (Skrillex remix)" and everyone in the comments said 'actually this is a song by Al Bizarre' but the uploader never changed it
