    Context sensitive rhyming

    RhymeZone ticks all the boxes. I use it exclusively.

    Should i put a question mark in a song title?

    Let me ask you this: Do You Know The Way To San Jose? Or I could ask: How Deep Is Your Love? And how about: Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?

    Swingin' ....appreciate any mix observations

    I can't think of any way to improve, to me it sounds fantastic. Reminds me very much of Incubus. Good job.

    Logic Remote

    I use it on iPad. It is amazing. I use it mainly to add drum fills to the basic drummer track on my songs in Garageband, and to add touch instrument tracks (eg: piano, organ, synth, strings, vibraphone, electric piano etc etc). It really does work well.

    Stars

    Wow, I really like this. Reminds me of Style Council - great 80s vibe. Love how the bells follow the guitar riff.

    Broken Love (Another Messy Demo For Yeah)

    I like the song a lot. Agree with the above that the vocal needs to come forward a bit. Keep at it, will love to hear it fill out.

    A song about songwriting

    All great ideas! Thanks for listening, I appreciate the feedback. Yeah, I posted it here as a basic track, hoping to get a couple of ideas for filling it out. Once I do that, hopefully will get some ideas on a good final mix. Thanks again :thumbs up:

    A song about songwriting

    Hey all, I just wrote a quick little ditty about songwriting. This is kinda the first draft - I know it needs filling out. I was going for a sort of rockabilly vibe; something I've not done before. I left space for a guitar solo after the 2nd chorus...still trying to figure out what it should...

    2 songs in 1 week!

    After a 7 year stretch without creating a single song, this month I have written two. This one, ironically, is called "I Want To Write A Song". I recorded the basic tracks this afternoon and will finish/post it this week. It's kinda rockabilly-ish. EDIT: Here's the first draft. I WANT TO...

    Atmospheric piece

    Very nice, Frank. Would be great to meditate to this.

    My first song in 7 years

    OK guys, based on your feedback, I made a couple of changes. 1. I EQ'd the harshness out of the acoustic guitar. 2. I moved acoustic to center during the 1st verse, then panned more left at the 1st chorus, when the electric comes in on the right. 3. Significantly reduced the vibrato on the sax...

    How do you come up w/that initial idea/set of lyrics/melody/etc

    I know this thread is old, but there are some good ideas in here. I noticed that the vast majority here write the music first, then agonize over writing a lyric. I am sort of the opposite. I subscribe to the Bernie Taupin/Elton John method, where Bernie would present Elton with a set of lyrics...
