Make it a sticky, but no vomit please.
I'll go first, my family don't like my music, I am all about my music, HELP......What do I do, ditch them for music?
Of course not. Plenty of families don't approve of other family members activities. Make music for yourself and don't worry about anyone else.
Make music in the closet.
Use headphones
Get them good and drunk first, then see if they like it.
Try hypnotism on them.

To add a sober opinion
Just ignore their opinions about your music.
If it makes you happy that's what counts.
They profit from this too if you are happy.
No need to life alone and cut your ear off.
My partner complaint for 11 years about the weird sound,
now I miss him complaining.

lol, that would please him
if I would play guitar he wouldn't have complained
Always one of life's big conundrums - to compromise or not to compromise. The worst feeling is when you give up what you love and then those you gave it up for reject you for changing
Yeah, compromise is fine, but if you ever give away the whole of what makes you, then wait til no-one notices you anymore
Thanks all, sober again and with appropriate headache, I think the solution is to force feed it to them in the car when they cannot escape
My son and daughters hum my songs quite frequently. They also just happen to be in th car for ALL the tests on mixes.
Great thread idea, by the way.
I thought you would like that.
My wife is a musician, sometimes DJ, and went to school for audio engineering. We NEVER agree on music, certainly not mine.
I don't even play her my songs anymore, she just points out all the "weird noises" she doesn't like. But she lets me do it whenever I want, so it all works out in the end. Just keep writing what you like, you can still love someone without them truly "getting" the music you like to make.
Wise and appreciated words indeed
Great thread this, I feel your pain AndyPlankton.....
Why do we 'need' or desire that others like the music we make?
Is it part of social acceptance, does it increase our status that we can create sounds that others like? Or should we think of it as self-expression, and damn the consequences?
Frank Zappa stated often, he made the music he wanted to hear, and thought he was fortunate he could monetize the activity. He also said that while many rock musicians snorted their fortune up their noses, he put his in his ears, in other words he spent millions on copyists, orchestras, synclaviers etc etc, to realise his musical imaginings.
I think we are even more fortunate, the immense power and convenience of iOS music making, means we can afford to treat it as therapy, fun, fantasy or even try and make money at it, (and by implication please others with it).
A final thought, why don't you try and get the family to join in? Perhaps if you made music together, they would have a different view, and there are iOS apps for all levels of musical ability.
Here's my guess: The music you make is personal. When someone you care about likes it, there is a personal connection. When they don't, it feels like rejection on some level.
Yes, this is what I felt last night, it wasn't just not liking it, it was not even being interested in listening to it that hurt the most. The normality of being sober, and reading what has been written here along with an apology I received for the lack of support in my hobby and passion has made the world a much better place today.
Good point, and therefore the more of ourselves we feel we put into the music, the higher the stakes? So is me doing a Launchpad or Playground remix (or DJ set for that matter), as 'personal' a form of music as me singing a self-penned acoustic ballad?
The pragmatic, teenage-minded me would be happy to 'connect' either way.
If we are honest (i'll start) I bet most of us got into music-making in the first place to increase our attractiveness, rather than some pure obsesssion with the phrygian mode.
Mrs Monzo mk 2 has no interest in the music I make, and I certainly wouldn't expect her to listen to it. I was in a series of bands with Mrs Monzo mk 1, but strangely this was one of the causes of our split. So maybe keeping the music thing separate, is a good thing. Still wish she'd show a bit of interest though.
I think only you can answer that because you're the only one who knows how much of yourself you put into it.
For me it's just being a fan and a consumer that got me wanting to make my own. I would encourage anyone to take up a a creative hobby.
Just putting this out there... I have made hundreds of part songs.. I get a nice beat going, a killer hook, but then.. Nothing.. Having heard the riff over 100 times, it becomes just a noise in my ear, and I have to stop.. Anyone else experience this Groundhog Day type phenomena...?
Of course, if the beat or hook makes it out alive out of all that listening, then you've got something to keep working with
Haha true... I think I could get together about an 12 song album of stuff that doesn't bug the crap out of me lol
@JangoMango It's very common. I suggest reading through this reddit AMA when you get a chance.
