Our first single together. Very excited to share, greetings from India!
Hey y'all I've been wanting to know this for a very long time pls answer the following questions
1 can I make a music demo on my phone? And can I just find a producer to help me edit and mix my songs before releasing?
2.how do I promote my music
I'm pretty satisfied with it but im open to any suggestions to improve my songwriting in the future
In this video I'm showcasing my try on making a track using generic sounds and cheese, just like every other famous music producer. Did I succeed? Well... You're the one to judge.
Ps. The video is a meme and I tried it to make it like a comedy sketch. It isn't a real tutorial nor is it made for you to learn anything. the video is made only for entertainment purposes.
I tried to produce a short trailer for my theme song. Let me know your opinions.
There is this musician who has been my favorite artist for several years now and honestly he's a huge reason why I get inspired to make music. I just love everything about his sound and his vision as an artist. And the thing is - he isn't even anywhere near famous, just a couple thousand followers and we know each other in life (just acquaintances).
Honestly the only reason I want to make music is aspire to create a vision like his. There's something about his creations that resonate with me on such a spiritual level.
I think it has come to the point where it's becoming harmful - because all I'm doing is aspiring to be like him. I actually don't even love the process of producing music - but I like the idea of it because of him. Painting in drum patterns and trying to sound design isn't super enjoyable for me and I get pretty bored.
I honestly like writing as a medium more than music. Or at least feel like I'm better at it. But again, I just want to do music because I want to build on that vision that resonates with me so deeply from his music.
How do I get past this?
I wrote this song about breaking out of my wallflower nature, and I initially like how it turned out. That said, I now feel like it's a bit too corny and doesn't fit well with the more brooding songs in my discography. Do you think this song about recovery and breaking out of one's shell is too corny, or does the corniness fit the theme of the song? I have the lyrics in a comment below. Thanks for the input!
Edit: In case it’s not clear, the blue text above leads to a Drive link for the song.
Hello Friends!
I'm a new female writer/director and my first film that I wrote and directed is a fantasy thriller called LOVE SPELL featuring a mysterious soundtrack .🧙♀️🔮
The soundtrack / theme song of the film actually comes from the ancient tune Greensleeves. Is anyone here familiar with the original folk song and it's origins? I'd love to know more!
I think the soundtrack turned out nicely! I'd love to hear what you think. It was composed by Russ Whitelock.
The film is now available to stream on YouTube!
Here's the logline: "When a fearless queen's secret love is caught by the king and condemned to die, she performs a powerful spell to unite them forever through an enchanted ring."

My buddy Shane and I have been cowriting by sending pieces of song ideas back and forth - we live in different states. Sometimes just a voicememo. Sometimes a video clip. And then once some idea starts to stick we’ll assemble demos by sending Logic files back and forth. Here’s one that started just like that. Eventually Shane had a drummer come to his basement to put the rhythm track down, but basically everything else was recorded remotely… some in my garage, some in other places, etc - let me know your thoughts.
I made this with my brother
And it's one of my best works
Hope you enjoy lol

I wrote and recorded 8 of the 11 songs in three days. Just wanted to do a single acoustic track and some layered vocals.
Best wishes everyone!

Thanks!
I was writing a few songs to get ready to produce, and then realized that if I put this into a CD, the most likely people to be listening to this would be family, friends, and neighborhood acquaintances lol. And I don't want them to know my deep dark secrets or feelings.
But I feel like I struggle with writing lyrics, and writing inner feelings is one of the best ways for me to get words on a page. Plus I think music generally should be authentic to the person singing.
How do you balance wanting privacy, but also wanting authenticity in your music?
I have all my band members. We’re a Metalcore band. Where do I start when recording? Do the drums come first? Does the bass come first? The vocals? What comes first when recording?
Horns of war, heed the call Fear your death, your living hell No escape, all hope lost Can someone stand up, save us all? Has Fate cast your role? Weight like rocks on the back Can you withstand it all? The thought so heavy, crush your soul
Mmm take responsibility It’s not my style If you need me I’ll be Sitting in a bed of flowers This bull shit won’t end soon Can you wake me when it’s through?
A hero; Not me though; No hero Do I face the call or run from danger?
Now in chains your will is doomed Will you forfeit all your life? Upon your flesh they will consume Can you hold on, see this through
Mmm take responsibility It’s not my style If you need me I’ll be Sitting in a bed of flowers This bull shit won’t end soon Wake me when it’s through
A hero; Not me though; No hero Do I face the call or run from danger?
Rise! We wait here for world’s ending, Rise! We wait here for death! x6 Death wont save you Death wont save you
Upon your back you bear the weight Shields may crack but don’t give way Blood stained hands holds your fate For victory you dance on graves
A hero; Not me though; No hero Do I face the call or run from danger A hero; It’s me now; The hero I faced the call I beat the danger
