This is a great article!

Over the years I have always had this problem of finishing my tracks.  As a result, I've developed habits of checking myself and making sure that I'm working efficiently so I was pleased to see you mentioning the same habits and give even more.  I love how you present the information here, It's easy to follow and very applicable for me. I really needed to read this and remind myself about how important time-management is as well, and I really like your suggestion of thinking about your bedroom studio time as a studio session that is charging you by the hour to be there. So thank you! 

Trilian is for bass, but there are still some good guitar samples in there.  If you're buying it for the bass though, it's worth every penny.  I dropped the 300 (back when I was still living with my parents, I could understand the hesitation now) and I dont regret it one bit.

As far as my favorite for guitars, I have found some reeeeeally good guitar samples on Goliath by East West. 

Some times a song is only a minute or two.

You have to understand the context of your songs, and what they are telling you the direction they should go.

It's a part of understanding that the song is something to consider as well as what you want.

A nice level of respect towards the song should be given if you want to be satisfied with what you make.

Thanks, thats some really good advice right there! You always have great insight.  I have come to the same conclusions over the years about how songs require a nice level of respect, and it really pays off in multiple ways.

With my latest project, which is the one I was talking about in my last post, is preferred to be at least 4-5 minutes for a proper "original mix" release.  I have my 2 minutes worth, but I now need to build a proper intro/outro to fill the rest.  Or I could just release the 2 minutes and call it a complete work because its my art and I do what I want!

Nice pluck and nice work! wheres it from?

Me likey  I could come up with piano melodies for this all day long and never get bored.  Great job!

Me like dis a very much, Yes!  I have a wavo account and I'll vote for you as well as snag these wonderful vocals! Good job and keep up the good work! One critique I could provide is that I feel that the vocal and the lead are conflicting with each other a little bit, which makes it sound like the vocal is being slightly drowned out.

Take care!

Work on finishing White Sun, its the best out of them all. Also dont worry about releasing a "mixtape" right now
