Parents should never talk down to their children
Published by on March 4th, 2007 4 Comments »
This one came from overhearing two distinctly different conversations a couple of weeks ago. In one, the parent treated their child with respect, in the other, the child was little more than an inferior punch-bag for the parent’s anxieties.

I can sympathise! Here are my tips:
get Ableton Live – much, much easier to be spontaneous and get ideas down quickly
don’t try and replicate the musical idea that’s in your head – sketch it and then follow the winding paths and alleys down which the machines and your own ideas lead you …
but only allow yourself a pre-set period of time to do this.
Use the resulting bits and pieces to create a full arrangement.
Then and only then worry about the sound, the mix, the fx and the embillishments.
I always find it hard to get out of the first 16 bars of a track … it’s as if I got into loop mode. The above approach has helped me. But each to their own.
Thanks Alex. I’ll try and get my hands on a demo of Live and see how it feels. Must admit I’m not well versed in the different tools for this as I’ve found Reason so easy to approach overall. But who knows, Live might help release the floodgates!
I’m on the same boat I got writers block the same day I starte making music. I seem like I can’t make a simple melody, why me?…
Sorry if this is utterly intentional and obvious, but…
I see two different perspectives…one is the child at the top of some stairs, the other is the child dangling over a trap door.
Oooh, I hadn’t pictured it from that angle – nice idea!
Phew.
I was half-expecting a “well…that was…like…the whole point”
I appreciate it, but you give me way too much credit
I just draw the stuff in my head.
