Combining it all together shall result in the next updates of my first songs - but I guess these things will keep me busy for a few weeks now. My second song has a more complex structure and even features breaks between the verses and before the chorus. I have also spent some time to work on the sounds although this song has currently just instrument tracks playing.

Having understood the principles of arrangement I have created my first song based on the standard scheme: - intro - verse 1 - verse 1 variation - chorus - verse 2 - verse 2 variation - chorus - Outro In easy terms this defines the horizontal structure - and I know that I need to work on the vertical structure next: selecting the „right“ sounds and instruments. Stay tuned! ![]()
Preparations for my first coaching session on music producing have started: I have picked four sample tracks that will provide some guidance for the next time.
