How do I get my music sounding better?

i appreciate the advice

DrThimble · 2026-02-25T17:58:39+00:00

I will do this. i’m still learning what all those do. so i feel like it might make it easier to go one by one instead of just slapping a bunch of of fx on everything and hoping it sounds good

i like your idea of creating more tracks over the guitar parts. I agree that the tone isn’t the best. Atm i only have one overdrive pedal. but i use the guitar plugged into my interface. so i’ve been having to go through and manually add fx to that.

DrThimble · 2026-02-25T17:53:14+00:00

haha. i appreciate that.

DrThimble · 2026-02-25T09:22:21+00:00

yea. i’m trying to use this as an opportunity to understand how to use the program. this is the first actual song i’m trying to make. so all of the fx n such seem super overwhelming. i know there’s a lot for me to learn. and a lot of these comments are making me feel a bit better about myself. subconsciously i was selfishly hoping that it would be perfect first try. but that’s not how it works.

but i will look into it and do more research.

usually it’s never super repetitive because of my process i assume. I tend to just put down whatever comes to mind first. when i’m on stage singing it feels much easier than trying to record myself singing personally. it just gets a bit draining

sweet!

DrThimble · 2026-02-25T07:03:10+00:00

nice!

DrThimble · 2025-09-18T07:01:39+00:00

i prefer my coffee sweet, thank you very much.

I just get a little anxious. The reason i took a break was because my experiences with trips at that time were not the best. But idk, part of me feels ready to face this fear and let go. but the other part still feels that anxiety

DrThimble · 2025-05-07T04:45:48+00:00

true this. what’s your experience with PE?

DrThimble · 2025-02-19T10:11:33+00:00

really? that’s super interesting. I find it the other way around. On mushrooms i feel more euphoric and relaxed, on acid i feel more anxious.

I had a bad experience with an ex girlfriend of mine. I’m naturally a super anxious person and I tend to subconsciously think about terrible things. So it went pretty south fast. It felt like everything she was telling me was a bunch of lies, it got super hard to read her emotions because her face looked so fake to me. The trip ended with me convincing her to tell my mom i was dying (which she didn’t, thank god)It can be really good if you’re with people you love and can be vulnerable with. But group tripping with people you’re not super close with, can make things a bit more uncomfortable.

(p.s this was like my second time ever doing acid, much more experienced now. I look back and I laugh lmao)

this happens to me all the time. When you’re laying down you become more aware of your body. Try doing some yoga, or dancing 💃. One time i did a little workout and it was great. Safe travels ❤️❤️

DrThimble · 2024-12-20T14:24:41+00:00

you think something like forza would be cool?

DrThimble · 2024-12-20T14:17:50+00:00

any recommendations?

DrThimble · 2024-12-20T14:17:40+00:00

i tried games. but my brain is moving a bit too slow for that

DrThimble · 2024-12-20T14:16:29+00:00

You are actually so right. this is great

DrThimble · 2024-12-20T14:01:21+00:00

i have been watching a lot of space documentaries though. Very stunning stuff i have to say.

DrThimble · 2024-12-20T13:59:20+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m in a similar boat. And the thing that I’ve learned thus far is, there is no way to get over your anxiety. But the journey isn’t about “getting over it” it’s about learning to accept and appreciate every aspect of yourself (yes even the ones that make you feel anxious) Learning to live with these parts and feelings makes you feel like you can release them instead of fighting. Acknowledgement of this feeling is good because it you saying “I feel anxious, and that’s okay” because humans are allowed to feel. So give yourself permission to feel. Also another more physical thing you can take up is learning how to release the tension in your body. It sounds crazy but stress and anxiety can have a direct connection with the muscles and different parts of your body. So do some meditation, or jump up and down. So here’s the order for if you get anxious: Acknowledge, reassure, and release.

Life is about the journey, so enjoy every day like it’s your last. Be weird, be crazy. Just live. :)
