Hey peeps, Does anyone know of any software packages where you can use images to write tracks? I'm clutching at straws to get myself past a 5 year "writers block" where all I can produce is loops that go on for eternity. All I'm doing at the moment is drawing moving images in flash and trying to write stuff that fits with it. :( |

Why don't you get a book on chord progressions? just learning how to work with a ii - V can open up a whole world of possibilities. Or work in a new mode. I'm doing something in phrygian - starts on the third note of a major scale. But mainly I'd say if you're using Fruity or a tracker, drop it and get a proper sequencer. I've always used Cakewalk and recently I got Fruity - it's an interesting program but I can see where you could fall into a loop-trap since it's not easy to arrange a proper song. I'm fighting the playlist every step of the way. |

A small town is just a collection of communities. A group of people just like this message board helping each other out in times of need e.t.c. anyone else? |

I'm using Reason 2.5, Cubase 5, hardware samplers, drum machines, guitars e.t.c. I've been doing it since I was 12 but I've done nothing for the last 5 years that has made me stand back and say: "Wow! Thats it". what is FruityLoops anyway? Is it like Acid (got that as well). |

Being in a rut suggests you need to try something new, and being in a loop rut suggests you have to do something with a more narrative compositional structure like classical or broadway. I used to do these pseudo-classical Danny Elfman-ish pieces with Cakewalk Express and a general midi card. Try doing something like that. I couldn't really loop short bits with that setup because they sounded like cack. The merits of the piece (if there were any) had to come from the composition. |

no, its a VST / DXi sequencer with an effect rack and a sampler and blabla if you know how to work it and avoid making 'floops-y' tracks its a good program you might want to get Cool Edit or a sound edititng program as well |

cheers guys, I don't think I'll be getting anymore music packages. I have spent more money than I should have on music stuff over the years and I used to be producing a track an hour with nothing more than a crappy keyboard, DR660, Guitar and 4 track (ohh and my Zoom FX rack, shweet). I wish I still had the midi files from all those years ago. |

If you've already got Cubase I'd stick with that! It's a terrific sequencer. |
