A pot on the stove and a pencil in my hand…
After a long time I’ve finally been motivated to start writing and recording music again. I’ll be honest, this has been partially inspired by last week’s tragic event. I’d been planning this since my own challenging news but Steve’s passing really accelerated me wanting to make this part of who I am again. Writing music defined who I saw myself as for most of my life up until about ten years ago when life got a bit more complicated.
I’m curious how FMs approach writing music. So far I’m sketching out bass and guitar riffs on GarageBand… noodling away, not really getting too precious just getting structures on tape. I’m about to buy the Alt Rock pack of drum sounds recorded at EA.
So how do you do what you do?
Edit. I just discovered I need to buy EZDrummer to use the Alt Rock set… I talked about this in the Tech Room but are people here using EZDrummer? Worth it?
