Hi, I guess I'm doing something resembling writing an album, but my recording/producing situation is somewhat laughable. All I have are MIDI renders of what songs 'should' sound like, at the moment. I don't know if anyone would be game to hear those.

LargeHadron posted:For real OP, how did you get the YouTube video image to look that way? Did you have to create the still image in Photoshop and then do some MovieMaker BS to play audio over it? I ask because I've seen a lot of audio-only videos that look the same way, and I figured there must be a service that lets you upload album art and metadata then creates the video for you. At least I'm hoping there is. Those videos are generated automatically by YouTube on the Artist - Topic channels.

On the subject of appreciation, I always thought the various mediums had varying pros and cons to being an amateur in search of recognition. Visual art is great because you can appreciate it instantly, you don't need to hook someone in and keep their attention for three minutes or however long. The other thing is that visual art and literature are generally mediums where the score is the same thing as the final piece, this isn't generally the case in music so it can be more hit and miss for laypeople to understand the work required and intricacies. It is very soul crushing indeed, or it can be if you let apathy get to you like I sometimes do.

Hi, now I am officially recording an album! I assume moments where you suddenly think everything you wrote sucks are normal?

LargeHadron posted:Ha, totally. So are the moments where strangers on the internet tell you in no uncertain terms that everything you wrote sucks, and friends and family listen to what you wrote and never speak a word about it to you, or just never listen to it in the first place despite trying to start awkward conversations about it when you see them...goddamnit. Wow, thanks a lot! It's always good to have a battle-tested outside voice who's been there. I have most of basic recording done, a friend who's doing drums for me. It's a modest first release, a short 7 tracks in 27 minutes. Then, I have to learn to fill out a mix, actually mix, and master.

e: wrong place for sharing demos! I'm almost done with basic recording sans vocals, but I might have to go back and redo stuff

Right, update time! Believe it or not, I haven't given up, and have been working the whole time! I look at the posts of a me several months past and laugh at his naivete. I've learned so much about recording and mixing. Unfortunately, it appears my connections to a drummer and so forth have fallen through, I'm not looking forward to shelling out $90 a song to get drums recorded  Anyway! I'm about done recording guitars and scratch vocals (I think!), would anyone be kind enough to sit through rough mixes and give me pointers?
