Well, it's been a bit since I've updated this, and I think I'd like to let people know what I'm going to do.

I've been trumpeting about how quantity is more of a priority than quality, but I haven't been making too many things recently. That's due in large part to school, but I'm also getting a bit lazier. Half of me is lazy, the other half of me is determined to make a ton of awesome songs. The first of those things is bad, and the other is rather problematic because of the whole quantity-over-quality thing. So just to preface all of the stuff that I hope I'll be doing soon, it's all going to suck, like really suck, for a while. My hope is that maybe sometime in/by summer break, I'll be past that awful stage 3.

EDIT 1/13/18: I'm not in stage 3. The truth is that I don't know where I am. xD The best I can do is do my best, here and now. Sounds kind of dinky... "the best I can do is do my best"... whatever.

Those were just some of my thoughts that I think others should keep in mind when listening to my stuff. On to the "resources" part of the subject line...

Happy New Year everyone!

So it's kind of random, but I've been thinking a lot about improvement lately, and that thinking has been spurred on by this article. It's actually really awesome; it talks about different "stages" that a producer goes through (though these stages are really just how we improve in any craft, not just music). One of the major stages it mentions is what they call "Exponential Growth." I'm in that stage, and I'm learning a lot of stuff with every song I make. One of the major things that the article says about this stage is that people in that stage need to strive to do a ton of songs. Not make them perfect, but get them done, because in the end, that's the faster, better, and in my opinion, more fun way to get to mastering the craft. That's why, if anybody's been curious, I've been putting out tracks quickly - because it's the fastest way to quality stuff and it's super freaking fun. And so far, it's working like a charm. :)

I just figured it'd be nice for others to know. :D

1/7/2018 EDIT: I think I'm starting to slip into stage 3... DUN DUN DAAAAA!
