I am under the impression that we have a couple of folk on MyBB who can quite comfortably wear the mantle of 'musician'.
Myself, I've been playing guitar for a couple of years and have recently gotten quite interested in various types of electronic music although I am struggling like hell to actually compose these mysterious things known as 'songs'.
One of the reasons I am making the thread is hopefully to spur myself into a bit of action, sometimes I'll pick up my guitar or fiddle about trying to make a drum beat or something and I'll think to myself 'what's the point?', or alternatively, should I start making something constructive I will eventually let it fall to the wayside because I am an insane perfectionist - This of course has the net result of me producing no music at all, which is quite the opposite of what I wish to do. Go figure.
What I'd like this thread to be:
What I'd not like this thread to be:
If anyone does partake (which would be lovely) and get as far as posting a sound-clip, constructive criticism would the order of the day, but don't post anything if you are overly sensitive.
I have nothing else to add.
Hopefully soon, I'll have something audible to post.
Cheers!

What I'd like this thread to be:
- A place to provide links to anything you've worked on, should you be so vain.
- A place where the more knowledgeable of us can help anyone new to all this.
- A place where we can discuss software, hardware and any tips and tricks related to making speakers vibrate.
- A place to discuss and perhaps shed some light on this arcane language known as 'music theory'.
- Play an instrument? Any tips for people who can't?
What I'd not like this thread to be:
- A place to shout at people about piracy/where piracy is even remotely hinted at.
- Not this: The Electronic Music Thread.
- Not this: Music.

Yamaha APX4, Gibson Epiphone. I'm sad to admit that they're gathering dust in my garage. It seems I have lost the will to actually sit down and fiddle with them. I'm completely tone deaf when it comes to singing, so I've taken a few of the poems I've written in the past and recorded them by just speaking them over tracks I recorded using FL Studio and Cool Edit Pro. I normally start by laying down the bassline and very basic drums using FL. Then I set up my trusty (and wobbly) mic stand and record the acoustic guitar in Cool Edit. Then it becomes a whole process of fiddling with effects, panning, volume etc. until I'm happy. Then I add the vocals. Eventually a few friends will get to hear what I made and they will probably ask for a copy of it, just because their my friends! ;-)
