You've written "never really started" songs? Can you explain what that is? What do they sound/look like? Is a blank piece of paper a "never really started" song?

Dom, yes, I can guarantee that you've written more "never really started" songs than I have ... and probably anyone here combined.
correct. You not being a musician,and probably not able to relate.

But you using toontrack piano, and pretending to be playing in that video is about as tacky as I've seen yet.

But musicians start with.
A riff, a motif, a beat, a groove,.a title a vibe...

I have hundreds of songs that I never finished after that initial burst.

You cant relate because you don't create anything, your software does and now Ai.

But even so, if you had something good nobody would care



You don't do nothing but push buttons and take glory for robots , If you cut them in a studio then you can bark you actually did something. Takes ambition to get the studio , not talk you will ,

Yes Marty and I are on other site and try to avoid this place , I'm surprised Robs in this nonsense

Why is it when you do it, its suddenly not pushing buttons.

Ive done the studio thing, all they really care about is your money, like here, they tell yiu you are a Star, cause if they said you suck you ain't giving them more money.

Ive been in studios with band members, looking at the drummer through the glass, and the bass player around a tool box, and did whole thing live.

Was always issues there too. One wrong note, and you wear it, forever.

Things weren't as easily fixed as they are today.

Today, the only way you need a studio is if you are making music to be played on main stream media.

In fact, even big timers record at home.

Tech is so good that you can get a great vocal sound with a good mic amd pre amp.

May not be top tier quality but good enough for most purposes.

Ive lived a life before forums ben. For years I was doing gigs every week, playing real guitar and singing.

Developing thick skin,

Decades of it on and off.

I delved into home recording and did a shitload of that stuff too, , I have old hard drives with tons of music on it that I can no longer get to.

You make it sound like going to a studio is revolutionary.

Its just cause decades later at the point of hitting a wall a long time ago, the easy way is now the right way.

My main credit is I had a song that was played every day in the college radio circuit.

My cousin helped me, she created a wave of buzz kept calling asking for it to be played, snd she's good looks so that helped with the male DJ

I also was offered avsinger songwriter contacts, longgggg time ago.

Start up companies looking for a nobody they could use to get somewhere.

Other than that its been an anti social self enclosed career, and a habit that will never go away.

But I do it my way when and how I want to, cause nobody else gives a dsmn
