Or at least finishing albums. I have about three or four albums worth of material all in minute to two minute long flp's. I need to figure out what to cut out so I can finish developing the material so that it flows as an album, but I want to use most of what I have. I don't want to make it longer than 60 minutes. Anyone have problems like this? what did you do? |

it took me 2 years to finish my album... its had about 3 completely differant tracklistings in that time... and even still i wanna keep working on it... i say choose your 10-15 favorite songs and wok from there... you gotta things down even if its painful to see certain songs not in the tracklist... |

once narrowed down a bit more, then i reckon you should do the tracklist... i find that making the album is a lot fucking harder than writing songs.. ..and then theres the artwork... |

|
|
the design is already done.... And I have about 30 name to go with the songs that i choose... just the album needs finishing :( |

Heh I've been trying to write an album but by the time I've done all the tracks, I'm bored with the first few so I bump 'em off and write more, and then I'm sick of the next oldest songs on there so I bump 'em off and write more etc etc etc.... I think I've been writing Snap Freeze Selection for about 3 years now haha. But I say fuck it I'm not an albums person. I just write fucking music, someone else can organize it all hehe (all the CDs I burn are "od tracks (date)"). I'm so boooooooring. As for your problem, yeah just choose your personal fave ones. Don't even consider what other people would think abotu it. As for flowing liek an album, I don't knwo what the fuck this is. I've been told my cds do this but I was pretty sure I just stuck tghe songs on semi-randomly. Mix the styles ie open with a real D opener kinda song, liek a big song, or a real good one, then go for somethin real fast, then somethign slower and bumpy, then an ambientish one, then something soaring high and fast and then a really gritty acid one and then some knid of funky one, you know kind of make it so the styles don't really obviously clash ie drill n bass noise stuff and then beautiful and ambient and then more noise and then more playful ambient. unless youre doing some kind of themed album hehe. or trying tr fuck with someone. |

See, I believe that an artist/musician is to be held accountable by their audience due to the fact that environment influences art drastically. I don't want to pick my favorite trax, because I know they are the ones people will like least. |

a lot of people have heard my album now and noone ever says they like the tracks i like... its always the ones you wouldnt expect... i keep getting praise for this one track that i really cant even sit through anymore... its odd like that |
||||||||

i dunno, i just think that i will always release my fave songs, coz theyre the ones I believe in, and if i wanted to bend to the audience's will, then i'd be writing pop music. dude, i can totally see where youre coming from though |

I'm having a similar problem with writing a single song: It starts out fine but after about two minutes I run out of ideas and have to start on another song... I have about fifty two minute long songs (unfinished) and another fifty who I forced myself to finish wich are terible after the first two minutes. :/ |

why do so many people on this bored have such angst over making music? it's supposed to be fucking FUN. |
||||||||
|

|
|

I have a problem thats been buggin me for a while. I made this huge long mix. Instead of putting it on tape i wanted to record it on my comp so i could burn it. I chopped it up to make tracks, and when i burned it I got breaks of silence between them on the burn that fuct up the whole flow. how can i eliminate the space between the tracks, or at least how do you make a continous mix with tracks? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Steve McQueen - I don't I'm pretty lazy about the whole thing. Music being fun is my whole deal, which is why I don't really ever end up spending over 4 days on a song. BB - It's not a talent - it's just practise! Get cracking, dude! It'll take you a few years tho (rough idea - I've been going for about 5 years now) to do stuff you're happy with. Unless you're clever. I am not. I reinventede the wheel and taught myself everythign I know. So yeah. Uhh what was I saying? Oh yeah give it a shot and stick with it, anyone can do it, and it's tons of fun, man, c'mon! JOOOOOOOIN US!! |

I use adaptec cd creator, and in the final step before the burning process, make sure you have "close disc at once" sellected. |
