Making music: a thread

im actually gonna take this seriously this time and actually plan out what i want to do so i dont just end up quitting at the start

(btw the quality of the songs doesnt matter, im more concerned about whether or not i make them in the first place)

Month 1-2:
try to make 1 short loop (16 beats) per day

Month 3-4:
make 3 slightly longer instrumentals (1 min) a week

Month 5-6:
make 2 full instrumentals (3+ mins)

Month 7-8 (will be postponed cause ill have exams then):
start increasing the length of my instrumentals to 2 min and make 2 per week

Month 9-10
finally start making full length instrumentals (3+ mins)

Month 11-12:
by that time, i should be good enough to make at least 1 good 3+ min instrumental per week

ill start this thread properly on saturday

edit: ill be using reaper to make all my music for now

Reminds me of really old games like Warcraft I…

Petition for you to cook more

btw heres some advice with reaper if you havent used it before. youre gonna have to customise it a lot to get it to work the way you want it to

number 3 [tweaked]: meant to be more of a perfect loop

is there anyone else producing music on the forums?

no clue, never heard anyone doing it

But I probably will :smiling_face_with_horns:

A little bit late but honestly I now can’t get this out of my head.
You definitely cooked really hard on this one, may be my first favourite 20 seconds long loop track ever

The sounds on this… They create such a harmony that it’s just too satisfying to listen to

Will you at any chance make an extended version of this? :eyes:

idk maybe ill extend that on month 6 dont really have the time or skills to pull that off now

day four

not really aiming for quality with these tracks, just experimenting
