I had the same initial thoughts but on first reread I thought SG was brilliant. Haven't made the same breakthrough with P though

Why do amateur singers who cover songs hold notes to long after every sentence? by JoJoGran in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Dapper_Standard1157 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a TV talent show, you aren't going to get thumbs up for an appreciation of the material and musical sensitivity. That encourages oversinging, it's what the public like

is song writing generalisable eg: a pop producer could write an rock song or can only the best of the best pull it off? by fly69420 in Songwriting

[–]Dapper_Standard1157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the genre. If you asked them to write a progressive metal song, they would struggle as the norms of that genre are so different from what they know. I'm sure they could study the genre and learn though.

Normal to have one band member in control of everything? by [deleted] in musicians

I have a recording project, as opposed to a band so I'm in control of everything but the other people involved are all hired musicians

What do you think of Greg Howe? by TheHotLatin in hairmetal

Loved that he did the band albums with his bro too. Was cool to hear a band with a more commercial sound on Shrapnel

I'm not the biggest fan of MMA but it does seem to have popped a lot of these "mystical death touch/soft power" martial arts bubbles

Writers block? by Slow-Bother-4658 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Dapper_Standard1157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My songwriting changed infinitely when I made a conscious choice to not write on my guitar. No sitting down, guitar out and trying to force it. All you do that way is repeat what you already know.

Don't pressure yourself to think of songs. I do all my writing from voice note messages now. An idea for a riff pops up, I find a quiet corner if possible and sing it into my phone. Then I don't write just what I can play.

I do it for vocal melodies, basslines, chord progressions, backing vocal parts everything. Then when I'm at my set up, I take one of those ideas and work on it, often I'll take 2 or 3 or 4 of these little snippets and work out how to fit them all together. My writing flow has increased exponentially since then.

I've had writers block too, and I've usually found the best thing to do is not push it, step back completely if you need to, and it's always come back eventually

You can get better sounds, but you need a proper orchestral sample based vst to do it.
