Recently I've really been into making music. No, I don't mean those little covers that I do with just a guitar and my voice recorded over iPhone app. I mean actually making full use of garageband, making layers after layers of sounds. Adding bass, drum beats, piano, guitar, voice, harmony, etc. Music Production, basically. And somehow I really found this love for it. I can just sit by my laptop for 5 hours straight and do this non-stop. I don't know if this would be a moment or it would be for a lifetime, but I hope it is for the latter. I've also got some pretty solid mic to record my singing over the songs that I made, but sadly I've not been feeling well for almost a month now (don't ask) and I can't record a decent song with me sounding good. Music production (with my very basic skill and knowledge) is very very fun to me. It is the kind of thing that makes me relax after a long day at work. Or basically music, I love music. It's fun how you have an idea of how you want the song to be like, and you slowly add the beat, the bass and all and finally layering everything together and TADAAAA you have what you want. I feel like I went a little overboard with layering because recently I was working on Fight Song by Rachel Platten and I ended up having 11 layers???? (WHAT) I mean I could use a little less layers but I need to make the FIGHT vibe in the song, and that wasn't easy. It takes lots of patience and love, I realize, to make music. You sometime come in at the wrong timing, sometimes you press the wrong key and you screw up the whole sound. Sometimes only when you start to record your voice, you realize that it doesn't work. Or sometimes you want to make a certain feel at a certain part of the song but it just doesn't come off as what you desired. As of now, it's still lots of trial and error for me but I'm still loving it! :) Music is everything to me, I would die without it. But I guess it would make you wonder: Why don't you go and pursue music or learn them? I don't know why either. |
