R&A Graveyard / Be cruel to be kind?
« on: May 09, 2016, 02:16:21 pm »
I know sometimes it's difficult to tell people they're barking up the wrong tree, but I'd personally prefer to be told which parts of my tune are garbage and need re-thinking or even scrapping, than being fed back the good stuff.

People usually err on the side of giving nice feedback to avoid discouraging people, but if I'd had brutally honest feedback early on, it would definitely have sped up my learning.

Is there room for a no-holds-barred, "Butcher my tune" style feedback forum? It would be carnage but I'd certainly post my music there!

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Cold turkey

This probably only applies to those of you who have access to your works-in-progress whilst away from the studio;

If I've bounced an idea for a friend to listen to and have access to it on my phone (for example), I won't allow myself to listen to it until I'm back in the studio.

Reason for this, is that if I've had a long break from the tune (4+ hours), I'll usually know what needs fixing/adding the second I hear it back for the first time. If I listen while I'm away from the studio, I might have a great idea and then forget it by the time I get back.

Does anyone else go with this mindset? I would recommend trying it if not. Over-listening to your own stuff sort of clouds your outside vision of it.

Hi all,

Been browsing the forum for a while but only just signed up. I'll be posting regularly and giving feedback on your stuff.

I'd appreciate thoughts or advice on something I just "finished" - please feel free to tear it apart



Appreciated
