6:34 "I'm pulling out my hair trying to learn this stuff... and it's a nightmare. I was trying to do every step of the process, at the same time, in a completely unstructured way and, I was just overthinking everything and it was hell."
8:25 "One of the biggest mistakes I was making was I was trying to do every step of the process all at the same time, I was trying to learn, while I was trying to set up new soft synths, while I was trying to do sound design, while I was trying to mix, while I was trying to write, while I was trying to create, while I was trying to analyze, and my brain was going fifty million directions at once and nowhere at the same time."
(Those last two statements hit home)
11:31 (NIGHTTIME SESSIONS) preparatory and (DAYTIME SESSIONS)writing sessions
Basically in the NIGHTTIME (3 Hours or less) Sessions, not likely to finish a song, so don't start one.
- watch Youtube tutorials
- learn a new soft synth
- program sample multi's
- program racks for your library
- fix the wiring in your studio
- practice drumming or playing the piano, etc etc etc
- dig through your sample CD's
12:05 "Maintaining a library is so important.. a stack of sample CD's in a folder called samples is not a library, a bunch of presets that are in the native VST plug in format in your VST's is not a library."
12:22 DAYTIME SESSIONS
- Composing
- Writing
- Arranging
- Anything else that is not that (NIGHT TIME SESSIONS)
12:36 "You don't write music by thinking, You write music by doing."
Start the day with writing. Get all your thoughts out.
