thought of doing a introspective listening party for my work last year
I know I've done a whole lot of learning and as a result a whole lot of different music got written. I've gone thought and selected a bunch of it from the work that I did and put it into an album on Bandcamp. @Vance Tenort @Clifton Duncan @Petter Jensen @Anna Gregory @Jo Gilmour @Uncle Brother @Christopher Mullins @Maike Beckers I was wondering if you'd like to come to a listening party for the introspective 2025 album I posted? It's sort of a fun way to take a listen to some songs if you'd like to. If this is something that you'd be interested in, please DM me or replay here to see if there is a good time for most? I know we are from all over this wonderful planet earth so time zones are a real consideration as mid day for some of us is midnight for others. Just putting it out there as a thought. If there are others who you think might be interested let me know. I can then send out an invite for them too. it will be on Bandcamp website and they play the songs in succession and a place to chat.

I think the most important thing said was ‘you’ve got to write thousands of songs, most of them are duds, and then you get one that sounds good. Then the next one isn’t . The way to learn how to write good music is by writing, listening to understand why something works and why something does not.’ Sadly it’s the same with anything. You don’t practice until you get it right, you practice until you simply can’t get it wrong.

@Clifton Duncan there is something to be said for get a DAW and stick to that version. Don’t change things that are not broken if you don’t need to. Every change introduces a new set of changes be it bugs or sometimes even fixes that now need to be accounted for. Case example. I wrote my first song in 2023 and saved the all the work. Then in 2025 you asked for the stems of that song.. I couldn’t read my old backups, so I restored the logic files. They were from logic 10 but now I was using 11. Still couldn’t open them because I was getting an error. Turned out one had upgraded from ver3 to a ver4 and kept crashing the file open with a misleading error about upgrading version. I eventually had to load the old version of logic to get the correct error message to find a pirate copy of the ver3 plugin to export the sound setting file so I could reload it back into the owned ver4 instrument. Sometimes changes can cause unexpected errors or issues.
When booking a mentor call, what email should I use?
My Skool account and mastering.com account are under different email address. Which one should I use when booking a mentor call, the skool account email or mastering.com account email? Or does it matter at all?

let us know if you get it to work as it looks like nobody seems to be booking mentor calls any more. I remember last year on the old system there were lots of mentor calls being made that you could watch. Now it seems like the mentors have no work. it's hard to even find a mentor that appears to have a booked session in the next 4 weeks. So either no member wants to book, or nobody has figured out how to

@Ari Tiainen i noticed the same thing. He was a great mentor who I have learnt quite a bit from over the past year watching his sessions. I don't know if they are bringing in another mentor

This is the year we fight back. We fight. We battle our demons. Maybe we battle the part of us that scrolls social media instead of making music. Maybe we battle the part of us that overthinks everything. Maybe we battle the voice that says we can’t. Maybe we battle the distractions that pull us away from our goals. Maybe we battle the feeling that we don’t belong. Maybe we fight the voice that always says, “Maybe tomorrow.” And all of us are fighting against a soulless, artificial world. The world is in a strange place right now. It needs your voice. It needs your art. It needs your passion. There are people out there who need to be inspired, and you’re the only one who can do it. Or maybe you’re an engineer. There are artists who need you to help bring their voice to life. And you’re the one who can do it. This is the year we fight back.

I thought about it and decided that perhaps it's best to wipe the slate clean. so I threw away all the past baggage and will start from fresh. go back to the beginning of the course and start from there. a Clean outlook. took all my past music, and put it into the trash can and hit empty. if I look at old projects never finished and even the ones that were done, that is just a reminder path back to me in 2025. perhaps I should even just delete my distrokid and remove the music streamed too, to be complete
