    At some stage I'll often add drums but I try to resist doing so in the hopes that I actually manage to produce so ambient recordings one of these years...

    :lol: Cheers mate. :) If you ever need advice on Ambient, let me know.

    Hehe thanks - I think if I can master the "don't put any drums on it" step I'll be a lot further down the road than I've ever been, but my head always messes with me. "Sure, that's sounding nice... imagine how nice it would sound with drums, though..."

    My focus is on playing music only, not producing a track or a song. When I play guitar, I start up with Ibassist and a Lumbeat drummer, loop some chords over it, and then I start searching for a melody. Pretty traditional. My main goal is getting better as a guitar player and as a musician. Band in a Box on PC is also nice software for this, that one has a lot of depth, almost like an education.

    When I play with electronic music, as others have mentioned, I just randomly start in AUM with synths and midi pattern generators, like inside LK, or Atom, just automatically generate some chords, a riff. The beats mostly with some Bram Bos generators or Hammerhead (with a lot of chaos). And then go on a journey with weird effects and manipulations. And then I turn it off, and it is gone, I don't save a lot of projects. Here my main goal is also getting better as a synth operator, I have no real interest in a finished song, but I do want to grow playing music.

    But there is a caveat, finishing a song makes you a better musician too, then you have created a structure that has a start and an end, something that works. So I should invest a bit more time into this, not only create pieces of the puzzle.

  • Impossible to answer for me. I try to change my workflow on a per track basis so every song starts out differently. Sometimes piano, sometimes guitar, sometimes hardware synths, sometimes from making a certain patch or certain sequence, manipulating samples, etc.

    A lot of the generative apps like Beatly Pro, Songen, Riffer, Piano Motifs or sequencers like Autony, Chordjam, etc are great starting points too.
