    Okay so here's an idea. How about we start helping each other or maybe even start selling our services to each other?

    sounds good, I guess it should work theoretically but in reality most are picky who is to work on ones material, it would demand knowing the level of expertise of the members and most here are pretty anonymous so it looks kind of cumbersome

    That seriously troubled my head during a while (those who don't know me read my sig) :rofl:

    Not me. Piece of cake for programmers like me:
    My song - v14.4.2 - Beta 45 - build 16299 - Repack-Proper-Fixed- WORKING(badly).ogg
    I know, I know... hell yeah, I'm the man :disco:

    They sound so good in our heads, doesn't they?

    That makes me feel better. Thanks my friend ;)
    Anyway, now seriously, nobody takes me having a lot of fun even it doesn't end in a good track.

    I think that happens to everybody, and not only with music.

    Join the club lol

    Specially 10 years later.

    I can repair your computer, program a Bidule/Max Msp patch, disable Cortana permanently. American Express and beers accepted.

    The most difficult things in making music for me is to make something that dosen't sound like something else.

    @Xupito:

    BEER is the true measure of commerce.

    You can ask a friend to help you out on a project and offer him twenty bucks.

    He will have something else he needs to do.

    Tell him you are gonna pick up a case of beer, and he'll be on your doorstep at the first crack of dawn.:drunks:

    Beer is the 'gentlemanly" way of doing business.

    Besides, AMEX transaction fees are too high!

    Yes... For sure... But being truly and fully original is almost impossible in this day and age... Not counting new sounds, everything musical has already been done and published... Even sounds are mostly derivative...

    Going beyond this issue... The problem for me... Is to make authentic music for the genre/ style I'm attempting...

    You are a member here for a much longer time than I am, so maybe I'm missing something, but isn't that called collab and aren't we doing it already? Helping each other with mixing, mastering, arranging, hints, tips, advices and playing instruments? :dunno:

    I actually name mines as FolkAm or BbmGuitar, etc. The chord and the genre or an instrument. It's easier if it has some lyrics. But in the beginning I have to go on like that.

    I just saw a Make Drake Beats Tutorials on the other site so I'm a little confused as to why everyone is still having a hard time writing?

    Drake is the MF'ing Buddha brother. Now tell us Judge, what are the most difficult things in making music for you?

    Apart from not having enough time to fit it in to each day, you know, with having to make the bills etc, I don't have any problems making music and writing songs.
    I've been doing it for so long it's like muscle memory. I know what I want. I know how to get it.

    I'm totally happy with my creativity and output.

    What about you?

    Zen is always about the "below" :bow:
    When you see a fellow man on the "ground' you reach out & help him stand on his feet & be stronger than you :bow:
    That is zen philosophy :bow:
    There is a big difference between trying to be/write something smart,intelligence & finally wisdom :bow:
    Love & peace to everyone ,no hate :bow:

    I have nothing more to say here :bow:,now i'm really out.
    @aymat once again thank you for this beautiful thread
