    how do you write a bridge? Song structure in general?

    You can all take the piss if you want, i have actually got asperger's syndrom. those of you that are not interested in learning how other people write music but only in fighting your own corner get yourself to f*ck - you know who you are. I've decided to learn theory again as i've learned that...

    how do you write a bridge? Song structure in general?

    I never said i was more enlightened, how can i be more enlightened when i've constantly stated that i don't know what i'm writing, i'm just writing :confused: I'm sick of people picking through everything i've said, do what you want when writing, guess what - i'm going to do what i want...

    how do you write a bridge? Song structure in general?

    I never said that i don't use musical convention in any way, that has been drummed into me by listening to other people's music. I've already stated that I did have a theoretical background but chose not to continue with it as I didn't enjoy it & with regard to writing it doesn't work for me. I...

    how do you write a bridge? Song structure in general?

    I said plenty times that they are not exculsive. And totally agree as that is what i've been trying to say (but you've summed up things a lot better :D). I I'm replying to the thread starter though, he's asking how to write a bridge. Surely if he wasn't relying on a formula he'd have asked how...

    how do you write a bridge? Song structure in general?

    so i guess you are calling me a pathetic bastard? I think i don't have to listen to the opinion of someone like you anymore. fact is i don't use theory, i see music as texture and colour, i try and copy that onto my instrument, i used to never be able to get things down as i wanted them, years...

    how do you write a bridge? Song structure in general?

    Actually I think you've just stated the main reason why there is so much crap music about. Musical cliches exist due to the fact of a methodology being in place, things become contrived, the problem i see is that theorist end up relying too much on theory eg "how do I write a bridge" surely...

    how do you write a bridge? Song structure in general?

    I find it unerving that you'd call me ignorant when you do not know my musical background or anything about me. I studied music long ago, I forget most of it now because I do not seem to have retension for what I don't use. I don't use theory to write any longer, I feel (and I'm going to have to...

    how do you write a bridge? Song structure in general?

    with regards to tension If I'm talking about the same thing you were then i totally disagree. I love unresolved tension, a song I would throw onto that pile would be "air on a g string" by bach. It's unresolved tension energises me & fills me full of unresolved feelings - so much so I feel like...

    how do you write a bridge? Song structure in general?

    just mho how do i do this, how do you do that? ... hmm It sounds a bit like, how can i reduce all of these wonderful infinite colours into formulae that makes songwriting easier to understand and do. Convert everything into primary colours for me please!! I know nothing of musical theory -...

    finale & drum notation

    Cheers, but I was looking at trying to correct a problem with the drum score entry I wasn't really wanting a product comparison. Interesting reading though. I've sorted my problem, sibelius doesn't have any kind of problem with the drum score so I'm just using that. It isn't as fiddily as finale...

    finale & drum notation

    I don't either sadly :p, 'm starting to think sibelius might be worth a try, it's not very easy inputing in finale with a laptop & no midi keyboard. So if anyone has any ideas about sibelious being a better option - speak to me please:D

    finale & drum notation

    hey lads, i'm currently testing out finale. I will be purchasing it at some point but don't know which version to stretch to. At the moment I'm on "printmusic". I'm trying to write a drum score but for some reason the scores I have from real printed music (which seem to be relatively...

    is smashing a guitar cliche?

    Is cliché really the correct term? "cliché" seems to be used all the time now for all the wrong reasons. I thought it meant that a well known saying like "the grass is always greener on the other side" was old and tired and over used. Football pundits and managers in particular seem to...

    Violin recording

    Hah, a bit of irony... I am currently learning violin (but certainly not at a level close to being able to record myself!!) I do use the violin or even my guitar to write string parts for my songs though. I ask mates round to play parts I'm not too hot on. I cant turn round & tell her to go and...

    Violin recording

    I have had some bad experiances with thomann & wont be using them again sadly. I have been looking at mabye buying the CAD Trion 7000 for other sources, I wonder if this would be a good choice for strings? http://www.cadmics.com/Trion7000.htm There is no high peak around the higher frequency...

    Violin recording

    Sadly struggling with mics, I only have a couple of the MSH-2 Naiants & a 57 beta & original 57. I'm really wanting to get some more mics & thought that getting a mic dedicated for violin would be a good place to start. I can get a surprisingly good sound out of most other instruments using the...

    Stagg CXG Cymbal Upgrade Opinions

    lee I'll send you some samples when I can & when I'm ready to get rid of the cymbals. This could take some time, as everything seems to be breaking & needing replaced in my studio. :mad:

    Violin recording

    What type of strings would you suggest be better for recording? I'm not wanting a dark gypsy sounding recording, but am limited with the violin being recorded. The most I can do is new strings & microphone. I'm getting a lot of good advice so far, cheers everyone. The only problem being the...
