Boing Boing Boing

When writing a tune I used to bounce my individual tracks simply to save on processor power. But it’s now an integral part of my creative process.

When I bounce something (ie record it to an audio track), it’s set in stone in my mind. It’s unlikely I’ll mess with it because its a hassle to reload the original part and synth, sampler or whatever.

This focusses me on getting the part right and forces me to move on. I avoid the dangerous temptations of perfectionism and maintain precious momentum.

So as you create, keep on bouncing those parts. Boing boing boing.

Record Everything You Do

How many times have you listened to a track you just bought and wished you’d not spent the money, only to realise later that it was brilliant?

The music hasn’t changed but something in your world has made you understand it and connect with it. Maybe it’s just grown on you.

Record everything you do, every single time you stop working. Be militant about this. Make sure you leave enough time at the end of every session to record it, even when it’s completely unfinished, sounds terrible and you hate it. Especially when you hate it.

Because you’ll probably listen to it at some point in the future and realise just how good it is.
