I have a wonderful trap brass kit in the works. You only ever need 2 notes for brass in trap anyway.

Have you messed around VF(X) command values? Fast vibrato gets you crazy textured sounds.

Then you should have a song for every response in the thread by the end of March. Seriously, try them all immediately.

The again, maybe avoid the ones that say "poke around and get frustrated," nothing personal wink If you struggle with composing, you can get better with practice, just keep trying!

I didn't mention any in particular because there are so many things I have done that none stand out for me, but that doesn't mean I compose haphazardly: there is always a plan in mind, though there isn't always a desired result besides a finished piece of music.

Fuck it, wish me luck.

I vary my strategy on purpose to keep my ideas fresh, so I don't have any one way to compose.

I write out a series of numbers; -1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-7,1(-8),2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16
Three octaves, just to play around with a melody and if it fluctuates to a higher tone or lower.
Each number is the note of whatever key you are in (number one would be your tonic, two would be supertonic, three is mediant, ect)
You have to start on one or five (reason for this is because no matter what key you're in, the tonic is your major and dominate is your minor)
Doubling notes is hard to explain, but should be kept to root,third,fifth,(and sixth or seventh for a fuller or jazz swing).
Listing a line of numbers now becomes your sheet music, that can be played in any key. 
If anyone makes sense of what I just typed, try this out. I can throw an example but I'm getting ready for work at the moment.

Man, I could have had 2d6 write for me all this time. Might not work but maybe it will.

on my phone as voice memos. Whistling, humming, whatever. That way I can browse 'em whenever I'm in the mood of composing and just port it to the tracker or play it on the keyboard.

this too, but I never have the recording gear with me, and forget 99.9% of them...

I got a field recorder and I love it for this reason. Also because I can turn anything into a drum hit.

I love how you talked about making things work in context, and for all the LSDJ users who may not know: Select + Start plays every channel starting on where you are in the phrase or chain screen.

I'm really curious to see what everyone's process is, if you have one at all. I personally tend to just mess around in a key until I find something worth delving into, but if anyone has a more organised process or a different way to go about things I'd love to give it a try. I've been really looking into how other people write music recently, because apparently there's a lot more variation than I thought.

Somehow picturing insults getting spit out of a printer in whatever studio you have makes me crack up.

I also want to second being proud of your own stuff. Start listening to old tracks for what you did right, if your stuff is listenable at all then you've done something well and you should take note of that. So much of being motivated is just not getting frustrated. Look at how far you've come.
