Or any other profession. If nothing else you have a better idea how to communicate what you want if you decide to use a producer, etc. in the future.<br /><br />Are you sure a log is supposed to use a formal structure? I thought it was just a cataloging of a days actions and thoughts. So you can go back and see where you were at in a certain point in time. Or in the case of ideas, to get the initial idea down, then mull it over later. (Later being whenever you've got time and have had a bit of space so you can look at the idea more objectively.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34077024.post-46452396050791307932010-10-11T22:03:10.628-07:002010-10-11T22:03:10.628-07:00I think, to a certain extent, this is happening in...I think, to a certain extent, this is happening in general, not just in artistic endeavors. With the technology, and economic realities in play, there are opportunites wide open, if we want them.<br /> Btw, thanks for the little peeks behind the curtain, so to speak.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586317714948349764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34077024.post-72838186237174391882010-10-11T17:12:54.218-07:002010-10-11T17:12:54.218-07:00Cummon just say the dabbling is over and RELEASE s...Cummon just say the dabbling is over and RELEASE something haunting and folkish and atomospheric.

Any child growing up now and involved in music composition will never really know no other way but to be fully immersed and involved in most if not all the aspects of music making. I am personally at the a similar stage to where you were some years ago, being a bass player who's called upon to perform. I do dabble in recording and posting songs on the net, but not nearly as much as someone as yourself or many others out there. But I can certainly see how that would be hard to make a living, just being strictly a player. Fortunately in my case, I have a day job that pays the bills, and playing bass is labor of love and a severe passion of mine. Speaking to your observation, it is similar to how in my field of work (making television promos) the trend now is not to be just a writer and producer of promos, but to be the writer, producer and editor and sometimes even the composer of promos. I edit on Final Cut pro and sometimes even compose music for my spots as well. Occasionally I'll even distribute promos on the net, when the network I work for does not air them enough (in my opinion). All of this is very parallel to what you are saying about music. Interesting. Have a good day. Mattmatt volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13637717171750103817noreply@blogger.com
