New Years Resolutions… Music Only… Maximum of 3 please 🙏
My three are…
1 Learn how to play Barbers Adagio for Strings (Guitar / GeoShred transcription)
2 Finish two tracks that I’ve had on the back burner for over a year 😊
3 Learn more music theory which I’m sure will help in the future 🤔
Comments
Okay, my three resolutions are as follows...
1) Continue exploring the genre of Ambient and improving my skills in the genre.
2) Avoid producing EDM (outside of client work that is) until Spring 2025 at earliest.
3) Learn how to use iVCS3, miRack, and other modular environments for creating Ambient.
Love the caveat on no.2 Jim but at the end of the day it’s what you enjoy that matters 👍
1 I'll manage, 2 I'll try and 3 would surprise me
Exactly 100% mate, lol. Also, yeah, that caveat is there since sometimes one of my clients asks for EDM beats. And when I'm paid to do so, then that's alright.
Finish is a very strong word @Fruitbat1919 , perhaps refine is more achievable ambition 😊
Ukulele, singing and bass sounds like a great combination @Danny_Mammy , looking forward to it already 👌
Ah, the dreaded resolution and whether or not we stick to it…
OK, reasonable ones for me:
Would normally agree, but a change in circumstances is coming for myself which dictates planning my money for the next 3 years and after that there will be very little for such things. 3 years to buy the music gear, fishing tackle and other hobby stuff I desire. The first year is my music gear. That’s why I’ve set up for 3 different music making kits - standalone hardware, iPad setup and Mac setup, so eggs not in one basket. So after this New Year, it’s unlikely there will be any new gear for music making baring unforeseen circumstances.
So, less an achievable ambition and more just the way life is unfolding lol
Happy New Year
Master the minifreak
Complete a 6 song EP
Schedule Time in my calendar as Music Time. I work a lot better when i lay out my day plan in advance and have time set aside for certain things
Some real sax would be nice @michael_m !
Fair enough @Fruitbat1919 , not sure where you are but we’re just about to sit down and watch Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing which is about … fishing 🎣
Looking forward to the EP @reasOne 👍
1- bust out my saxophones & throw them into some tunes
2- change up my guitar sound with my new Tele and Fender Mustang Micro
3- rework my priorities so I can get more tunes written and recorded. reload my SoundCloud.
Just looked it up, sounds interesting !
1 - refine my workflow and get things finished (or posted at least)
2 - learn my recent gear
3 - learn some of the apps I don't master lol
Become more fluid on the guitar
Use the wall of synth I’ve built a lot more
Get some more sound packs out
And more music😅
Jam with the beasts more (little group of mates who make noises in a room together)
I think no. 5 sounds wonderful @Krupa … I’ll let you off for listing more than 3 😊
Oops sorry, I forgot😂
Sample it
Loop it
Repeat
Less chatter and more listening to Creations instead.
Create and release despite time constraints and dissatisfaction of output.
Resume learning and practicing theory.
That speaks to me too.
Finally learn lp4 for iPad inside out
Technologic
1….Sugar, food coloring, non organic??
2… meditation is everything
Hmm, I could write an essay on each topic
On point 1 I mainly mean alcohol. I keep a very healthy nutrition otherwise, no fast food unless I’m dying from hunger in the middle of the desert
I do smoke my marijuanas occasionally
On point 2, after I learned about Buddhism when I was 17, which was several decades ago, I still haven’t figured the third turning of the wheel, and I believe I have the capacity to do so now, if I put in the effort
My goals for 2025
B. Play/practice guitar daily to the point that shredding is beyond second nature so I not only improve, which is its own reward, but I enjoy to just play freely again.
III. Produce an entire album at least 35 minutes in length made on my TE OP-1F + EP-133 KOII (and iPad …)
——- preface ——-
I realize they may not seem like lofty goals to many of you very advanced producers, but I can honestly say, I only got somewhat alright with production in 2024. 2022 was the year I began just with drambo and recording, 2023 was the year I started to acquire and explore the ecosystem to see what I needed/wanted from the iPad and what was available, 2024 was was my year of Teenage Engineering/ slowing my app acquisitions almost to a halt while I concentrated on applying everything.
I’m finally at an intermediate level where I can basically do nearly whatever I set out to do, albeit very slowly, awkwardly, and often times with difficulty or needing references to accomplish my goal. At the same time, I am rebuilding my guitar skills (which atrophies from not playing for almost two years), and seeking new avenues and fountains for inspiration, while attempting to finally fuse the music I have been working on for almost three years with you fine people.
—-Foreward——
At least “my sound” is no longer being hunted. By using the subtractive method, I can now hone in on my ”Arabesque fusion” (dropping the metal for good now ) as I embrace the fact that my drums will always tend toward electronic and hip hop , that my music is unconventional and experimental despite it being accessible and easy to listen to, and that metal and shred are dead but that doesn’t mean I can’t still incorporate elements for sprinkles of flair every now and again (iow 99% of people don’t want to hear a 2 minute solo but a 15 second solo would be enjoyable to anyone I would hope, so I am letting go of being a “metal guitarist,” and am just going to focus on writing music with my guitar)
—- conclusion—
2025 will be the year I go back to my roots (hardcore guitar work) but now I bring with me new tools and new skills to add to my production and give my composition a new workflow and framework.
——epilogue ——
Thank you for making this excellent thread as it is so important to think, create a game plan, and set benchmarks to stay on task. In fact , the overall resolution this year is - ORGANIZATION. That is so crucial to success and why I’ve been so haphazardly motivated. I will begin each day with goal 2 (practice) so that I won’t fall back …
—-PS—
NB: I say all that forgetting in about 3 days I’m gonna hear the pitter pattering of little feet again!! Just before I hit “post message”…cheers fate!!! Touche! lol
This thread is proving very therapeutic 💪👍
