The Instru-mentals Thread / NEW ALBUM OUT NOW

[vedicardi]

contradictions abound

Say one thing, do another. Great idea.

The problem is he doesn't want to make good stuff. He makes awful music so we can tell him it's awful. If he actually put effort into something, we might not like it and that scares him. His karma alone shows he wants people to not like him. LOL INTERNET CELEBRITY!

To pretty much mirror what he said, he's obviously trying to make stuff people will listen to, but when it's criticized he just agrees instead of tries to argue his case. (Btw don't argue your case, you'd be taking the bait, but there are better ways of counter-trolling than agreeing with the troll.)


And just for the record, I respect your stuff as music and don't think it's bad. I'm not really into your style but was impressed with the piano bit, it felt a lot closer to what I generally go for when I write than your other stuff. Everyone should be allowed to explore different styles musically to find what they like to write and are good at writing.

@estemshorn: Let me note how you said you've only been doing this for about a year, yet you've pushed out how many albums? This proves my point that I think you're not trying hard enough. I don't mean to come off as rude (which is what it appears to be), but you're not responding correctly whenever someone criticizes your music. If someone doesn't like a song of yours, you tend to agree and say things like, "Yeah, I know how sucky this song sounds."

And you also say, "If I went on to make actually good songs, vedi would still be there hating on it". You do know that this happens with EVERY artist, right? There is no such artist where everyone who will listen to it will like it. If you don't care what people have to say about your music because of this, you'll just be stuck in a loop, getting the same criticism and the same reactions.

If you take your time and build a new song based on criticism, I guarantee you'll see better results.

Also, if you know that you can't sing, then don't, or ask someone else to do it for you.

[estemshorn]

Well, you guys are right. :P

[vedicardi]

how many years did it take you to figure that one out

[estemshorn]

1 and a half

Well, you guys are right. :P

NO THEY ARENT.

If you want vocals in your song but you're the only one available then SING DAMMIT.

Write music that YOU like, not stuff that other people will like. If other people like it then cool, if not then fck em. If you are happy with the music that you have made, then that is all you need. Write for yourself and share it with others, and for the love of fck DEFEND YOUR OWN MATERIAL. It's okay to be unsure if it's good as long as you are happy with what you've made.

lolno, have you heard my voice? I suck ass at singing. And i'm not the only one available. I have others that I know that would probably like to sing on my songs, I just don't really feel like asking them, plus 99% of my songs aren't meant to have vocals in them.

Truth right here.
But I still need to take criticism from others and use that to make songs that aren't so sh*t. I mean yes, in my opinion, there isn't a single song that i've made that I think "wow, that's complete crap, I can't believe I made that. It's terrible" Yes, there are songs that I think are better than others, but overall, I enjoy making them and every one of my >100 songs I put time into and I think they are good songs. So you are right too. But constructive criticism still isn't bad to use.

see he's just delusional don't try to convince him to use logic

[davidsevenfold]

you gonna make a dubstep remix anytime soon? :o

It's all about finding a style that fits your vocals. Some people can make certain songs sound better. Axl Rose probably wouldn't win any awards for singing on say, a Broadway Stage, but if you put him in a rock band, his vocals fit better. Besides, if all else fails, you can always digitize your voice so no one could tell the difference. It's all about finding what works for you.

I tried and failed with dubstep. So, no.

I'm not really much of a singer though. I can write lyrics and all, but, I can't really sing that well to be honest. I've tried rapping and I'm a little better at that because it doesn't involve pitch, but hell, my alias is The Instru-mentals, there isn't really supposed to be vocals. That's why I chose that name. :P

[davidsevenfold]

open for ideas/requests? o-o

[vedicardi]

leave it to an a7x fan to request some d-d-d-d-dubstep
