Remixes v Originals


Recommended Posts

Lately, Iv found that I have little to no inspiration to do any original works. I do 3-4 bars with 5-6 instruments, save and never go back to it. Iv found that I get more feedback and appreciation for the music if its a mix (thats here at least, but i dont hang at any other music sites). Aditionally, a part of the song is already written, giving me a head start in the process. Seeing as I dont intend to sell my music, I can imagine that I'l cut out original works completely, I pretty much have already.

Have any other mixers here found a lack of drive to create originals? And whats the ratio of your remixs to original works?

I go through different stages all the time, but mostly now I prefer to do originals.

Remixes are fun to do once in a while, but you always have the issue of having to be 'true to the source' so to speak. However, when you're short of original ideas remixes can help keep your musical spirit up.

With originals of course, you can do what the hell you like - sometimes you can be stuck though and you don't know what the hell to do next.
