UPDATE 11-5-07: It seems there's some clarifying to be done, on when I said that my motivation and inspiration is gone. I can still make music, just fine - it's just that due to problems with inspiration I can't come up with any good melodies lately, and without a melody, I can't finish anything. D:

So I decided to try getting around this problem last Saturday by starting a trance remix of my song Falling Farther. I'll post the full story later when I post the finished song - no demos this time, as I'm still waiting for Message to get a decent amount of reviews and don't want to take any attention away from it. >:(

That's all for now.

Edit 11-6-07: I'm pretty sure I'll have the final version submitted by Thursday or Friday, and worst-case-scenario it'll be submitted Saturday, though it's unlikely.

UPDATE 10-30-07: I submitted an edited version of the only render. You can find it here. Comment here if you don't feel like leaving a full review.

Just now I was working on a song - my only real work in progress. I hadn't even mentioned it here on my userpage. It was definitely a groundbreaker, but not the way a song usually is - I was doing very well in conveying something extremely difficult to convey with it. It was also my first song in a major key, yet composing was going smoothly and easily. Basically, I was trying something new, and it was working perfectly.

Then luck decides to go and corrupt the project file, right as I'm working on it. I'm saving my project file when FL Studio says it can't save to the file. Fine, I think, I'll just save it to a new file instead. As luck would have it, that doesn't work either. So now I'm seriously panicking. I decide that before anything else goes wrong, I'll render the file so at least I'll have a .mp3 file to refer to if I have to start over. And then, of the three steps of the rendering process, every single one works - except for the VERY LAST STEP, when I hit the "Start" button. FL Studio became unresponsive and wouldn't respond again until I closed and reopened it. Upon trying to open it, I found that I can't access the file anymore - it's corrupted.

So, basically, thanks to that, I've lost just about every ounce of motivation/inspiration in me, for real this time.

Tomorrow, in Audacity, I'll edit the latest and only .mp3 file, which I rendered on Friday, and then I'll submit it.
