Re: Reason 10.1 - New Players + Europa Sample Import - Out Now!

Maybe I just don't get it, but I've always programmed my drums directly in Reason's sequencer lane, where I have access to all of Kong's pads, can make sequences any length, have full control over velocities, can slide and shuffle, and make pattern blocks. If I want to apply a pseudo probability fu...

Still waiting for Reason 11!

Not enough incentive for me personally, and I've waited this long already so I might as well stick with it.
Me too. :)

Re: Where Do People Start?

You can know how to do as many techno reverb kick backz as u like. If those result in nothing but a few hundred or even thousand soundcloud plays... it's nothing. Dust. A few peeps like me will say... sounds awesome.. sure. Gotta make music people will listen to. Well that's why I won't bother shar...

Re: Where Do People Start?

Explain to me... rock music such as kings of leon... sex is on fire. Huge. Ancient now but it's not down to anything more than the vocalisation and women loving it. Men too. Talk about music all you want. It works and grabs people or its flat and does nothing. Love that song! Yeah theory (and discu...

Re: Where Do People Start?

It's not so much that the theory isn't important, but that some people do have the ability to derive it, and to analyse structure without needing instruction. I agree with that. An example would be somebody making a rap beat and playing a melodic riff with a prominent minor second which seems to be...

Fun fact: my brother once hired a guitar tutor. When he showed up, he realized he was more advanced than the tutor, and left. :D

Re: Where Do People Start?

I knew then it was a pointless game for the likes of me. I was disillusioned about relationships and the workaday world very early on. So I'm a bum/tramp.

Make sure the journey makes you happy because one destination only leads to another.

Haha

Re: Where Do People Start?

If you spend the time to gain the knowledge and experience then what is stopping anyone from writing music by ear rather than knowing music notation and writing it by hand without hearing it? Knowing the theory behind what you are doing or why you are doing it has nothing to do with writing musical...

Re: Where Do People Start?

Oh I don't have expectations for that aspect anymore. The project actually made me feel rubbish because I had an ulterior motive. I just wanted something in the weird, alternative realm before progressing into a dark and dreary place. Somebody in the thread mentioned highlighting the Lydian mode an...

Thanks! I'm just obsessive and don't have much. Interestingly, I had a good time messing with projects from both of you recently. Aeox might put me on the ignore list now though because I like it rough. I did buy one of your albums at some point Zac. There's a time and place for everything I suppos...

Re: Where Do People Start?

You were overshadowed in the moment because I was getting passive-aggressively scolded by Runner2x at the time. I don't think you know what that means. You might have some kind of God complex e.g. too good for music theory, don't need studio monitors, can do anything, etc. It's just sound waves rig...

Re: Where Do People Start?

Sorry for being a wise guy. Here are my final answers. Would you think about the structure first? Never. Would you have a melody in your head and that sparks your inspiration? No. Melody comes with unpredictable energy. Do any of you have templates already made? No. I tried and it defies creative fr...

Re: Where Do People Start?

Well, he replied only to my statement "FWIW, I've never had a melody in my head. For me, melody/chord progression is developed I think it's a misconception that you need to know theory to write music. All you need is a pair of ears and go with what sounds good to you." We were talking about melody ...

Mmmm...no you weren't. You referenced structure, sound selection and "universal templates".

Normen said you can't do every music by ear and you blatantly asked for an example.

I decided to chime in with an example and now you're being defensive.

Re: Where Do People Start?

Copying structure is a piece of cake but blending into a given field is more complicated than listening to a few reference tracks. There are thousands of people who listen to techno and still can't figure out how to make a functional low end reverb rumble kick commonly found in techno tracks. Sound...
