When I've released music in the past few years, it's always fun to get feedback, but part of it is a technical learning process too.
I've always been reasonably good at writing songs and lyrics, plus I can play well enough to create what I want (singing is questionable, I know that!) but what I've been writing down is What I've Learned When Making This Track.

For example, this might be:
- Worked Out A Good Way To Record Passable Vocals Using Just An iPhone
- Paying a lot of attention to getting EQ right
- Becoming more proficient at using Compression
- Using layered vocals
- Using vintage synth plugins
- Learning how to mix better
- Learning how to master the final result

This all means that I have a record of technical progress alongside the creative results.
Similarly, I'm setting myself musical challenges for elements to include or technical tricks to learn, for future compositions.
For example, I've recently downloaded a good quality free orchestra plugin; so, the challenge is: Write An Orchestral Track.
So I'm learning something new and challenging myself to learn something further as each track is produced.
Wish me luck 🙂
