>tfw every artist and their brother is putting new stuff out
>tfw haven't even released an ep yet
>tfw probably will be a year before I even have the right things together to do so
Can we get some music making feels going? Let's talk /mu/
You only need a mic and some software to make music. Better equipment doesn't mean good music.
>tfw no friends who are into music
>tfw sentenced to a mediocre life
>tfw there's no free suicide clinics
>>50318212
Yeah, but a lot of my equipment is busted. I just need a few more things and a new guitar, and maybe a keyboard. Eventually a new computer too,
I don't want to really work on a project if I can't get it to sound right.
>>50318220
No mental hospitals?
>>50318179
>tfw no friends so i don't have anybody to play music with
>>50318179
>have some of our best material together
>sounds about completely produced
>set release date a month away to account for potential problems
>just sitting on it
>>50318276
Craigslist?
>>50318284
Finish it man! That's sound pretty exciting to have a project almost complete.
>tfw have good equipment, great laptop
>tfw constant latency issues
>tfw technical retardation
>>50318276
i feel you there bro
>tfw you will never even see the heights that talented people are at
>tfw you will always be shit because you're just a normal person and not an alien from outer space
>>50318299
>>50318284
Oh it's finished, just got printing to do and waiting on our release party before we do any uploading.
>>50318340
That's awesome, I'm jealous as hell
>>50318314
Get a desktop, then just modify it to handle what program you're using. Get an external hard drive too.
>>50318333
>no matter how hard you work you will never be great if you don't have talent
Fuck gifted people, fuck them all
>>50318439
That's not true at all. Where'd you get that from?
>tfw every musician in the area either ants to play AC/DC covers or picked up the guitar 2 monthes ago
>tfw too poor to get hardware for electronic music
>tfw been trying to get into softwares but cannot even manage to get anything decent after a year of practice
I'm starting to consider embracing my statut of talentless hack and make noise. Just noise. Hijack shows with a singing saw or get booked via some fake songs I didn't mae myself.
Fuck it, i don't even want to make good music.
I just want people to hear my shit.
I want to say that I exist, goddamnit.
>finish recording
>want to upload online
>get everything ready
>listen to again
>its not good enough
>scrap everything and start over again
>>50318452
You think you could ever even approach any of the truly great artists?
No, you need to have that something, besides hard work
We're just normal people, we're fucking worthless.
>tfw you'll never finish the 30 minute song/album you've been sitting on for 2 years
>>50318179
that well placed hat
>tfw you realise you will never make something as sincere as Communist Daughter
>tfw can't even make a chord progression without getting sick of it now
Total writer's block.
I think I was happier just making whatever badly-mastered Fruit Loops shit I was years ago.
>>50318582
>sincerity
who gives a shit
>>50318607

>>50318629
You shouldn't.
>>50318640
why shouldn't I?
>>50318179
>me and my best friend make electronic music together
>i begin to get back into acoustic stuff
>gain intense desire to form a punk band
>best friend can't play any real instruments and is basically solely into electronic stuff
>really wanna get a group of guys together and bang some shit out but can't
>start writing songs on my guitar more and less in ableton
>so creatively confused
>tfw shitty gigging artists are getting better than you because they have the resources
>tfw just released my new album on bandcamp
>only couple people checked it out
>i dont want to viral my shit so now my music will never be heard

Listen to music for the goddamn music
>>50318314
Get ASIO4ALL
>>50318676

>>50318676

>>50318694

>>50318694

>>50318689
>>50318708
You guys will probably think it sucks but whatever I'm proud of it.

thx friends!
Making music is a long process. Getting the right equipment, finding the right recording processes, the right way of working without taking a toll on your creativity, eventually mixing and all that kinda stuff if you wanna do that by yourself takes some time to learn too.
It all takes time, cause even if you have the talent you need knowledge and experience, and it's gonna be very hard to make a song that sounds exactly the way you imagined it in your head.
Being an artist is psychologically demanding and it takes time, you might end up never being truly happy with anything you make. You just gotta do your best and find what works for you.

it feels like i didn't sleep for 3 days and then went to the mall

>tfw released an album on bandcamp
>one year ago
>tried to communicate about it
>put it online with some collective that promote their stuff
>one year later
>it's the most downloaded album of the whole collective
>with 18 downloads
And this is why labels,even small indie labels, still matter for artists.
