How to compose, create and finally ship ready-made producting music?
That's enormous & complex subject, and i can't give direct instructions or straight-forward answer.
However, we can try to think it as a series of various steps.
- idea: first you may have vague vision, request, or melody in your head.
- early draft: this is important phase, since as soon as you get your melody out of your head to something audible. When intangible materialises, it becomes easier to grasp. Thus it will be easier to continue to work on when you have something even very very early drafts in your hands.
- composing: actual work, playing, trying, tweaking sounds, iterating and throwing lot's of ideas into trash bin. Usually self-critism can become high. Just go ahead!
- mastering: polishing, tweaking and balancing your song to a recordable piece of art (this topic needs several posts and articles to discuss this). Let the professionals do this phase (they do usually have better pair of ears than composer itself)
- distribution: how you do ship your song(s) to others? via record labels? using internet channels (Spotify, iTunes, YouTube)? are your songs free or are you selling them? how?
Lot's of things to do. Still doable. Later we will cover these (previous) issues little deeper.
Stay tuned!
