Since i'm having a pretty bad headache,.. (being the nerd i am, still blowing time infront of the PC, struggling with the headache).
i got to think of a few things.. mainly, regarding music and wikiloops.
1:
How self critical are you guys before uploading a track to wikiloops?
do you just jam until you find something you think sounds okay, press record and upload it, or do you REALLY put time into it, listen through it 200 times, really digging into it, and doing your very, very best?
2:
When are do you become a musician? Does it take 1 track to be able to call yourself "a musician" or an album?.. Where's the line between a person, and a amatuer musician? (professional, would obviously be getting paid for their music)
***
My own view:
Personally, i don't really describe myself as a musician, and i'm not sure why, i love music, i listen to it all the day, i write my own music, and i'm really proud of it (atleast some of it :P) but i don't feel like i'm at the point where i could call myself a musician, or other people would think of me as a musician.
Also, i put a lot of work into my music here on wikiloops, not so much on the computer made music (my classical pieces, and drum machine stuff), now don't get me wrong, i do put a lot of effort into my drum machines, or my classical music. but it's not the same as i do when i try to record some guitar tracks, mainly because of.. well, i don't really have to record the machine made stuff, and i really don't need to practice it either, i just place my ideas in, and then the magic happens.
i got plenty and plenty of ideas for my guitar tracks, and i really want to upload them to wikiloops. but i'm kind of struggling with it, i never seem to think theyre Good enough, and i always think they need that extra bit of "salt" before they're done cooking.
I'm sorry for spelling errors, and grammar errors. i hope you can get some sense out of it. :)
