OceansAndrew Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Last year we started into January, let's get a head start and get things planned before the new year arrives! What are your 2014 resolutions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diodes Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Yaaay. I love NYRs! Right now, I have exactly one goal in mind: overcome/cope with my PTSD to the point where I don't have to be a nomad anymore. I would be just so happy if I accomplished that!

RiverSound Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 60 push ups/minute has been a long-time goal for me, now I'm determined to achieve it - I'm already pretty close. Also I want to get posted, you peeps better start releasing them damn projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get better at production, and learn different types of production (electro, orchestral, jazz, ???)

Argle Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I suppose this is somewhat dependent on factors beyond my control, but heal my tendonitis and be able to get exercising full on without having it flare up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiowar Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 score study, score study, score study also hopefully establish some kinda regularity with submitting things to ocr. i make this resolution every year and have yet to pull it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshaggyfreak Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Get more compositions done in general. I did just recently submit my first tune to the OCR judges. I'm hoping to keep that trend going. I also will be working more on the virtual novel game that I've been hired to work on. I really want to get back to playing live again. I've been working on some solo stuff and will hope to do something with that in the near future. I really want to get some of myself out of the studio and in front of people. Eating better, exercising and losing weight is always on my list of goals. It's always been a tough situation for me, though. That's about all I can think of at the moment.

Arrow Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Basically copying two of my resolutions from last year, which I made progress on, but still want to continue at. 1. Lose weight. I'm about 30 to 40 lbs overweight for my height and body type, and my family has a history of diabetes, so I really need to slim down a bit for my health's sake. 2. Continue working on music, increasing my production skills, etc. Finally within this last month I started making music again, so as long as I just don't stop, this one should be at least somewhat of a shoe-in.

kitty Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Continue from last year and adding a few more. 1. Learn guitar so I can play songs I like 1b. Sing and play a song I like, record it, and post it on the internet 2. Learn coding to a point I can code things on my own without following directions/hints 3. Learn FL Studio so I can...eventually remix? 4. Learn music theory so I can write all these musical ideas in my head onto paper 5. Continue exercising 6. Eat healthier 7. Work on/continue being more open and moderate with my emotions, e.g. not getting frustrated at video games, being supportive of friends and even strangers 8. Continue writing in my journal every day 9. Cosplay Tibbers with someone else being Annie Edited December 10, 2013 by kitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrubedo Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Oy, figure I'll throw my lot in so it's known. 1. Attempt to lose weight 2. Reacquaint myself with music and being able to read it 3. Learn guitar 4. Buy guitar/drum kit 5. Find a job 6. Attend and get some college done And that's only a few I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 1. Learn to cope with the pain or get over it somehow 2. Don't die 3. Change everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejack Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 1. Work as many hours as possible to save money for a synthesizer/workstation. 2. Buy a new desktop computer (this one is 10 years old) 3. Learn how to efficiently use my DAW. 4. Learn some music terminology. 5. Learn some music theory. 6. Take some piano lessons if it fits in my budget and schedule. 7. Make a song that i will enjoy for more than a few weeks after it's finished. 8. Immerse myself in new music genres like blues, big band etc. The style of music i've briefly listened to before. I'm sure it will broaden my horizons and give me more inspiration when composing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ad.mixx Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Well I think I've finally completed my 2012 new years resolutions so now it's time to make more 2 years later. Musically -get a computer so I can actually start making music again -find the tools and means to be able to sing and rap in a produced song -sing and rap in a song -become good enough to arrange and play a piano piece that would pass OCR. Even if I don't get to record it. -start listening to OCR music consistently again (which is very hard to do without the computer) Personal -become conversational in Japanese -find a Japanese princess and marry her -eat a hamburger and frosted orange shake at the varsity -go to some kind of gaming or anime convention and get a picture with some cool cosplayer. Edit: yay the fifth one is probably gonna happen now. Getting a tablet for Christmas ! Edited December 8, 2013 by urdailywater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modus Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 1. Learn 3D modeling and texturing 2. Exercise like the devil again, since I'm done with school 3. Make enough money to get a present on all my friend's/family's birthdays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abadoss Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Write, record, and publish an original album (take 3). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti-Syne Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I'd like to play some of my tracks live, I've played live music with bands before, but now I want to do my own solo electronic stuff. This idea terrifies me which mean I really should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphexic Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 My 2013 resolutions were forgotten within two months, so maybe making these public will help me stick to them! 1. Learn to make good pixel art, leading into... 2. Finally make a video game or two, most likely with Flash 3. Get a better-paying and more fulfilling job 4. Re-connect with old friends and make new ones too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subz1987 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I have three: Start losing weight and get into shape Move out into my own place Get a GF The first one is the simplest, but seemingly the hardest one for me. Second one will require me to actually push myself to finding an apartment and moving out, while I'm still at a loss for the third one.

OceansAndrew Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Fitness goals: * 2014 pullups in 2014 * 8% BF at 185 Music goals: * Original EP * Second OverClocked University album Fun goals: * Place in the money for the May Modern Magic the Gathering GP in Minneapolis. I have already started testing and I know the format pretty well; I am grouping up with a ton of locals to practice games weekly and we are making sure we have all the current interactions down.

Nabeel Ansari Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 1. Get buff 2. Go to GDC 3. Write an album (keep failing this one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 It's not even New Year's Eve, and there's 3 music goals I can already think of: * Get more musically active - should be a no-brainer now that I no longer have to worry about any hospital crap for some time. I'll try 'something new every 3 months' and see how it goes from here. * Do whatever I can on that aforementioned PlayStation EP. Again, same reasons as above. * Arrange a remix and perform it at either the London Gaming Con / Alcon 2014 that DOESN'T cover Sonic or Mega Man. Yes, they're both great series, but I want to do more than that in front of a live audience this year... Anything more personal, I'll need to think of closer to the time. See how it goes. x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
