Dear composers,
for past 2 months, I learned alot from this forum as I was just starting to use the cubase.
I feel sometimes very bad that I can't anyhow pay back for all the valuable advises and information that I have acquired from here.
Yet here I am visiting the forum for another advise. Please excuse my manner.
Usually when I start to write new songs,
I get inspired, listen to lots of songs related to that image,
then search for the picture or image that is similar to my inspiration,
write down the rough structure of the song,
then finally start to write through the cubase.
However I found that sometimes the flow of the song changes to the song I did not imagined it to be.
Or I get to find the better harmony or progression I would like to use.
I mostly try to compromise with the part I already wrote however sometimes,
there are parts that I can not compromise.
Then I get to upside down parts, massive amount of set back and works follow as you can imagine.
However changing the adjusted modulation and expression map is the most annoying part.
Hence, I questioned myself that,
"Am I doing this in a wrong order? or is it due to the tendency of writing a song progressively? Not structuring enough beforehand?"
I heard that a good composer writes the score before even he starts to use the software and then listen through the software that how it actually sounds. Thus for them, the software such as cubase or logic/abletone are only the tool they "check" if it sounds alright, not the tool to write a song from the scratch. Is that also true?
In which order do you compose your song?
Any tips for it?
and does everyone experiences this kind of workflow like me?
As always, I really appreciate your valuable advises.
Sincerely
