Everything Else (Music related) • Re: I bought too many soft synths

I heard music in my head that was close to what I ended up writing years before I had the equipment to write.

That's never happened to me, nothing even close. Every song I've ever written has come from mucking about with the gear and stumbling upon something I liked.

I have qualify this, I have never matched the songs note for note I heard in my head before practicing and learning about music in general, but the concepts of what I wanted to do were there. The process is like you describe, but the result is close to what I wanted to do all those years ago. I think that's true for you in a more round about way, you know what you like, you muck about until something close comes out.

... sometimes it's to realize there are all kinds of things you can do to contribute to music in general besides write

Absolutely. I've had tremendous fun playing around with covers, some of songs I didn't even like at the time. In fact, I don't see writing as much of an accomplishment, really. It's more just a necessary part of having songs to perform.

Performance isn't necessary, it's fun but I have to say the recorded product is the goal, the performance is the treat you get, but personally I'm just as comfortable in the studio, and the biggest rush to me is when a song you wrote is inspiring to you like the songs you love.

... the melodic parts.

What are "melodic parts"?

the noise over the beats that isn't from a human.
