You still dont get it eh TS.

First Genre
Second Flavour

Why you keep thinking about instrument?

I am no expert Fifi. I am glad that we have people like Little Ice willing to share his knowledge. I noted from your openning thread you focus on instrument. After Little Ice posted you are still focusing on instrument. I tried to take your focus off the instrument, but you are still leading the focus back to it.

Although I am interested in composing, I not ready to compose yet because I do not know music theory. I am just learning it slowly and when I have what it take I have some idea to go about it. Let me ask you do you know how many categories are there under Metal? I suggest you make comprehensive study of the genre you want to compose before you even think of composing. I may be wrong maybe you have good music theory and is an expert in improvisaton but I am not and will take it in my own pace.

Listen to more songs on the genre you want to write. Compare the style from one favourite singer with another. Study first.

Just take it easy. You dont expect to build rome in one day. One step at a time. There is no rush.

It is hard to compose when you only play drums. It has no notes. You should pick up another instrument. Your first instrument is always the hardest. Once you know your notes you can play any instrument easily.

I say it is hard. I did not say not suitable. Phil Collins is a drummer cum composer that I respect. In this case the composers play according to Phil's drum pieces

I think you should read the link to aonther thread I gave your earlier. Little Ice had share his experience on who does what in comming up with a song.

How did technology kill the industry? Take away the creativity?

Denis,
It seems to me like to me like you are advising against using the old formula of the Beetles era. Yet now you are advocating the use of a decade old formula (Cheiron Music, Lady Gaga ..) to be the way to go. I wonder how long will this formula hold. Lets just say this becomes the new standard (everyone do near final quality), will it still not come down to creativity skills?
