like my music how about you?

Here is a breakdown of how I create my "art"

Fl Studio 7, Reason 4, and Ableton Live 6 are my sequencers(In order of use). In the past, FL studio has been my main sequencer; Today, Reason and Ableton have taken to my attention. Whatever the sequencer, the process is usually the same.

I always start off with a loop, 4 or 8 bars in length(depending on the longest melody). I'll loop it for hours until I have the perfect number of instruments. This will take up to 3 days, but has been done in at least 2 hours. It should be noted that any instrument used at the phase will most likely be a crappy pre-set; this is because I like to focus on the melody and move to the next instrument as fast as possible. This is not to rush the song, but to not miss out on opportunity to ride a temporary high for as much as it's worth.

When I have all the melodies down and I'm happy with the drums; I'll begin to customize my sounds and do some minor mixing. This is about 2 hours of work

Now for the easy part - arranging; laying out the patterns or clips to individual sections(Intro, middle, end) to actually make it a song and no longer a loop. This is done in 30-45 minutes.

This is where I mix my songs, my speakers are crap so I don't trust my ears on this one. What I do is mix according to the peaks on the mixer, then export as .wav check for any clipping in my wave editor then mix again in my sequencer if necessary to iron out the details. This takes me about 1 hour or less.

So I finally got the hang of Ableton Live; it took me a good two days(about 5-7 hours of time in ableton though) but I got it down. I made a song in it that I probably won't upload until I completely finish it.

I still use FL Studio as my main DAW but things could change.
