Compose more music

Cubase 4 was what I first found midi composition on. I flourished using it. I later tried using Reason, which is ok, but didn’t quite jive with my way of working (although it’s intuitive style of linking effects was a joy).

I now have Cubase Studio 5, but have been super busy since the day it arrived on my doorstep. So far I’ve found a bunch of free VST (http://www.dskmusic.com/blog/ is a great source, he’s very talented)

Now I just need to resolve a clicking sound ruining the sound. Which I will fix as soon as I have time to read enough about it and what I can do with my soundcard’s buffer size.

After all that, I will make a new song (or 10) every week when I have time to work! Which I will have once I get back from Chicago since I will have Thanksgiving break from work.

the world is got to play for me cuz
stoned away and out of breath
i just feel out place, out of place, out of placee(chrous)
im a little devil with a bad temper
searching for a future the world’s got no answers
so unique because so strange
for gods creature i’m the pet
(chrous)
my world is leaving now
crumbling down to the underground
(chrous)
i’m down in a pit
want to get out, but don’t want to say please
sitten though apocalypse
as the time goes by so do lifes
(chrous)
i use to say alot
but now its all burned
out of place(repeat 4times)

what do you think

I have about 12 unfinished compositions that I’d like to attend to. Unfortunately, I’m busy many other things and have not made this a priority.

I quit my composition degree two months ago due to the utter disorganisation of my department. It was really depressing, but last night I started humming a little tune…do mi fa so, so do la so, so la fa mi…so maybe there’s hope. A little tip-tapping song inside is worth more than a symphony on paper. I’m going to stick to believing that from now on.

I am a student focusing on composition this semester. I find it’s nice to actually have time dedicated to composing, but also there are times when I HAVE to compose things for homework assignments and I’m just not in the creative mood. I’m trying to find what works for me… I’ve learned I can’t get into the zone while I’m at home (too many distractions) I have to lock myself in the practice rooms in the basement of my school and have hours of solitude. If anyone has suggestions for getting over creative roadblocks, etc, I would love to hear them.
