  1. Wouldn't it yield a better/more unique (less 'technically' sounding) result if you made a piece of music without any order, and just went at it 'by feel,' and then restructure and improve it using the technical order? I know this wouldn't work for the intent of writing a song without any pre-knowledge of anything in mind, but just wondering.

  2. Im trying to write a song for my ex I know what to say in my lyrics but I dont know how its sung and Im struggling to find a melody or chords that fit the mood of the song(But I am using bad free Piano Sounds so that may be the reason why everything sounds bad but I dont have money to buy a good piano library or Keyboard Workstation). And I cant find a songwriter anywhere who knows what he is doing to help me. Everyone I asked didnt have the skills for it.

  3. *******Edit**********
    I thought that this was a tutorial. BUT, Found out it was paid software…

    I'd have likely paid if there was at least a trial period to be sure that I could comprehend it…

    THANK YOU!!

    THANK YOU!

    I have NOT watched a SINGLE FRAME, but for DAYS as I am starting with lyrics (because it seems the only way for "me" to productively write and progress as a beginner.), NO ONE has had ANY advice but "Start with the instrumentals first"… BUT they weren't listening to my dilemma.

    My lyrics are already developing a swing and bounce, but I don't know HOW to place the Time signature inside of the D.A.W. so that I can capture a "lead instrument" to "Fill in for my syllables" as a guide to write around… and MAYBE i'm doing it wrong.. But, it seems to make sense from a "problem-solving" perspective as I face new challenges.

    ANYWAY!!! Again, Thank You!
