First, pardon if this is in the wrong section.
I have a project that I'm working on that needs music. I could do the music myself, but that takes a ton of time and since my skill isn't top-drawer, I'll admit, it would take me a long time to make my songs the quality I want to make them. Furthermore, I don't have any particular song written, although I know what I want.
My question is this: Should I...
a) just do it myself anyways;
dictate what I want to another artist/musician (he might not like it, idk);
c) just pay someone else to be creative;
Doing it myself, I don't have to deal with the hassle of working with someone who a) may not really know what I want and/or may be uncooperative and not want to improve on his work. But on the other hand, I might find someone who is really creative and can come up with song ideas in the style I want far better than I can.
And before you mention it: I did think of asking around OC, but everyone here it seems has a distinct sound that isn't what I'm looking for. Not to say they couldn't do it, but that depends on the artist I guess. I suppose I could use various styles, but I'd like a consistent theme.
What do you guys think?
