razor7music Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hey Group I've been producing my own material for decades now and most of that time has been with Cakewalk. I've been a member of Taxi on and off for 7 years and feel like I've moved onto the next phase of my musical journey. It wasn't until recently, that I came to the realization that one of my favorite things about producing music is the actual production process. I love going into my studio, firing up the DAW and just everything about it (except technical problems, but that's a topic for another day). When I was a member of Taxi, they enforced the approach of building your catalog as quickly as possible. I believe the montra was, 'write, submit, repeat' or something like that. Since I'm my only client, I find that approach of producing ASAP to be more like chowing down a lobster tail to get it done. Where I don't fault those that can whip out a track in one day, and I certainly respect those that can while maintaining a high quality, I'm realizing I don't enjoy that as much. I like to savor the process. Am I unique? Does anyone else take their time creating and producing tracks because they enjoy the process? Again, I don't have or want any clients--that's a whole different thing. Just wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned out that he did them so quickly that they ended before they began. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, one doesn't ask Chuck for guitar tracks since that will only result in a round-kick to your head. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
