Focussing on playing bass at the moment, the daw is on hold for a few weeks.

A few weeks ago our son said he wanted to write songs. He is 8, plays piano and sings in a choir. We are making an urban style track about chocolat atm. We started with a loopstation to get a feeling for the track and find the first words, all very simple. We found a chorus, I wrote some verses based on info I could find on the interwebs about chocolat, did a few chatgtp prompts too. Yesterday I brought the samples out of the RC505 into bitwig + I recorded the whole output from the RC505 on a tascam recorder. All the voice parts and extra sounds we played live are also on there. Today we will practise the verses, see what works and we will for sure come up with new stuff. We might record vocals into Logic and make the beat in Bitwig. We love the process and we have fun together! I can see us making an album or EP with music for kids.

@Alexandre Joyal thanks man. That was really good. For me personally the biggest thing that holds me back is "motivation". Before I would embark on an online adventure like that and because - it's a long term game - better get the energy right from the start. (This could also be another form of procrastination again of course... and I''ll be fooling myself again). Another funny thing is that I like doing all of the single parts that make an online creation business work, I just can't find the glue. Yes, I even like video editing and filming, I made a (private) movie last year with our son for his school; A sort of reportage, interviewing him and going places (we moved abroad last summer). I was making the script up, wrote and selected some music, sound design and a bit of foley recording (footsteps etc) , ... a lot of work but a lot of fun for me to do! Loved it, and the school and friends and family who saw it liked it a lot. This was the first time I ever did something with film, I even had to learn how to use Davinci Resolve along the way, and my laptop could barely handle the software. (Had to use an older version, newest did not run). The idea of just reporting (filming) progress of an "undertaking" (my glue) gets my head spinning again on levels I am not sure really existed yet. I probably won't sleep much now 😵🤪. To be honest I have been pondering about it - on and off - since I was traveling in India in 2005-2006. Started a travel blog, killed it after 5,5 posts because I hated it, even the traveling was a lot less enjoyable. I had some experiments with affiliate marketing along the way but I missed the authenticity and honor in the work. Money is needed, I don't need that much to be ok. I see it as a form of energy exchange - but was/is never my main motivator and it will never be. AND, motivation is also necessary because I actually like my life as it is. I want to get the creativity out though. I guess I will have to start free flowing, putting short videos out (up to 10/15minutes) to get a feeling for what the point (glue) for me really is and adapt along the way.

@Alexandre Joyal I will look into it!

@Yúlany Music yea me too, tried to wake up again, but could not make it 🤣

Yes!
