RE: making goa
xoxos, the conservatory is just for recording and business, they want you to have the music background already. There, I will be studying the art of mixing, the SSL signal chain, protools certification, as well as Waves plug-in and TC-electronics cert, soldering, networking pc and mac, and music business.I have taken piano and theory etc, but need to go much further into harmony and melody. I have a good relationship with the Music director at the junior college here, but working days prevents me from taking classes. I may need to take evening private lessons for piano and music theory. I still have my textbooks from theory that I need to start doing some of the exercises out of. This is why I work with a guy who started making tracks when I did but focused more on writing songs and less on technical. So he writes a lot of the melodies, and I take care of structure, synth programing and mixing. I'll write out a groove and beats then let him arrange and write backing tracks. When you say more intevals, you mean play the same chords just invert them more?
my bigest problem is that when i have the idea in my head, I start hearing the beats etc, and I lose it because I start playing with and editing the sounds. I think I need a tape record the vocal hums and sing into it for constant referance. It works for my sister and her christian music production team.
I have started working out the sounds first then coming back to arange, you may lose the idea by then so the tape may work for me. I am going to pick one up. you can even vocalize out the rytnhms and bass and sweeps then just keep rewinding and playing it until you have the stuff down. I am going to give it a try. I also ordered those perfect pitch cd's from the back mix mag. They have a money back garantee. So if in a few months I am tone deaf, I can send them back. LOL, Later Brett
