HELP WANTED: MUSIC
Kronvullok June 2, 2017 |
The situation is as follows; I have aspirations to make music for a living, but I currently lack the time, experience, and equipment to make my own music. The only thing I can really do is write lyrics and sing. I'm looking for people with whom I can do collaborations with. Any takers? |

Are you saying that you don't have the equipment to record, and edit the music? Are those albums songs you have already written? |

I have FL Studio plus some jury-rigged software synthesizers, and skills that are just a tad below halfway decent. It's not much but I'll help if I can. |

Although I don't know how much time I can dedicate, I can still provide some advice and support. I know that sounds vague, but I'll help as I can. |

@tjp7154 These are simply ideas. I have portions of lyrics written for a couple songs. I do currently lack the equipment and skill to create the actual music. I have some really basic equipment to record my voice. Also, I hope you have a good ear for music, because I might just have you be the judge. @Frinmulaar That's awesome. This can be a learning experience for the both of us. |

I'll certainly be glad to lend an ear to help. As far as making the music, don't worry about the production quality until you have the songs down. The outline of your plan is certainly ambitious. I would caution against overwhelming yourself. Just focus one song at a time; make sure you're happy with the songs... |

Yeah. This is certainly a monumentous feat. However, just baby steps for now. |

I am somewhat strapped for time but I could assist. I do have the means to record music, I do have the programs to record music. Drums are tricky because I just go off of my keyboard and sample it. There are cheap/free programs all over. Yea just gotta look for them, and then you can use anything I give you as samples. Hydrogen drums are free.. I dont like it, but you can't argue with the price. As for a program, I use (Sony) Acid music studio 6.0, which I got for $14 something like 10 years ago. I think v10 is on Steam (yes, the gaming program) for like $40. Grageband use to be free, and I don't know if it still is but check it out. You can use a radio shack microphone but I would reccomend a mic stand and a pop filter, both of which are not that expensive. A decent Sure (brand) microphone aren't too bad either. Mine cost me $50. Otherwise, I can pop in and out as needed. My username is "Brutal Music Man" afterall.

Well, those are a lot of nice tips. I've just been using Audacity and a 3.5mm microphone. Although recently, the microphone port hasn't been working on my computer. |

I found this site, it's free and lets you make music, mostly electronic by the looks of it. I'm not sure if I can figure it out or if it's my style, so I might as well post it so everyone can take a look, maybe it'll be helpful. |

If you have the money, you could get an Audio interface. I have a Line 6 UX1 for recording my guitar... Well basicly anything that can be attached to a 1/4" jack or an XLR. If you live in a city, check your pawnshops. I seen them come in and out but be sure to get some kind of protection plan on them if you go that route. |

I currently lack the money to do anything other than try to get a microphone that works. |

That is your first hurdle. Items will be procured over time, but if you want to make music = life, then you need cash, but that does not mean you can't still create. Theres the programs up above that are free. Mow a few lawns and get a $30 mic. Music is everywhere, and the only thing you need to is listen to the tones and rhythm. There are TOOOONNS of DIY stuff on youtube. Make a Diddly bow! “In the age of information, ignorance is a choice.” Donny Miller |
