At the rate you are pumping these out your bound to fail.

A+ for effort!

need to spend more time on each imo

pro tip: if you can shit these out really fast, don't. spend time on them.

hen you released songs slowly, I listened to your songs a lot. When I used to play minecraft, I thought they were awesome. Now they just seem... rushed.

[QUOTE=BlackBirdNL;36958004]At the rate you are pumping these out your bound to fail.[/QUOTE] Speed is mostly because of my many presets that I'm using, plus when I record vocals, I don't really believe in recording 50 million times until I think it's perfect. I think the first time is just fine. I can't recall which one, but there was a famous jazz musician who was the same way, and it pissed off most of the people who recorded on his records, because they didn't like certain passages they played, or certain solos they did, but he made them keep the first take, because he was a firm believer that the first take is what mattered the most, and was the most real.

[QUOTE=Kabstrac;36973116]what works for some may not work for you. In addition, you are probably using it as an excuse to not put more effort into creating a better piece of music. it's a little different if someone doesn't like what you've made than someone thinks it could simply sound better (production for example)[/QUOTE] Well, I wasn't trying to imply that I was copying his method, but was merely giving an example. I was also definitely not using it as an excuse. I put effort in every piece I make, in fact it comes very naturally. I've been playing piano for 18 years, and a bunch of other instruments for about 13 or so. Doing the instrumentals for all of them are easy, because they are all midi-based recordings, all done through my piano. So, that plus doing the vocals, it honestly doesn't take that long to finish a mix, and to move on to tweaking the audio.
