How many songs did you finish in 2022?

[Jackjackdaw]

I have a question. How long must a song be in minutes or seconds to be called a song?

Time is irrelevant. You know in your soul if it’s finished or not.

Closing in on 4. But I only started up again late last month after many years off.

As long as I can stay healthy I might be in the "25 or more" camp next year.

so I toted up everything I released on my bandcamp in 2022 and there's 77 tracks that I recorded this year, and another 33 old tracks I remastered because the original recordings were shit and finally released. On top of that I have around 30-35 songs that still need vocals that I'm going to work on over the next few weeks. Annnnnnd.... I have an album of another 30ish trip hop songs I've slowly been adding vocal samples to that I'll release sometime next year when I'm done.

I honestly had no idea I've done so much work. It's nuts. I can't speak to the quality of everything that's there because I definitely have a throw shit at the wall and see what sticks, yeah that'll do kind of attitude at times. Anyway with so much material it's hard to pick an actual favourite so I'm gonna cheat and say -

This -

- blatant New Order rip off with a 727 break in the middle, very 80s. In the glorious spirit of Bernard Sumner I deliberately sung out of tune and exaggerated my New Zealand accent. The late 80s house mix I did of that song is pretty bloody solid too.

also this is a song I'm really pleased with - https://rorystorm.bandcamp.com/track/moving. The whole album is great, I really was working it around then.

Lastly, I really love this whole ep - https://rorystorm.bandcamp.com/album/brothers-sisters. It's a sentimental favourite, five songs I wrote twenty years or so, recorded synthpop styles in 2020 and mastered this year. It sounds a bit shit production wise but the songs are fantastic. This is the direction I'll probably be taking over the next while.

Damn I didn't finish anything if I remember correctly, however thanks to my good friend Benedict Roff-Marsh I am progressing and learning and enjoying it along the way <3

...blatant New Order rip off with a 727 break in the middle, very 80s.

Wow that's really cool, the vocals sit in such a good space in that mix and have a distinct flavour to them, sounds great!!

I ReasonTalk.
What other DAW forum has people bragging about not finishing songs?
I have found my peoples.
This is not necessarily a good thing

Can I say I don't know...age is getting to me...and not sure if live production sessions count as songs?

[arnigretar]
