This might be a daft thing to say, but... don't you think the Tenori-On sounds Japanese? The actual texture of the patches seem to lend themselves to oriental/eastern flavours. It just sounds like Japan! Heh. I like the music on that site. It's crazy to think that the T-O was used as the sole production source...

Oh I hear that! Trying to write consistently in one vein of music is so damn hard, as is making an interesting ending for a tune!

I appreciate your candor, Asher. I am starting to realize that, as you pointed out, if I can't make 'good music' in one app, there's a fair chance I can't do it in another. The main problem I have with Logic (right now, at least) is there's no 'foot in the door'. And, it just whoops my machine! *chuckle* I'm on a 1.5ghz G4 PowerBook and it really suffers when I try to do anything that would be reasonably easy in, er, Reason. Just saying 'learn the software' is easy enough, but without knowing exactly what I want to achieve, it seems a bit pointless...

@zevo - I guess 'workflow' is what you could call it. Heh. I have no flow! I think one of the major problems is, I've never really learned how to 'make' one style of music, potentially because I listen to FAR TOO MUCH music...! LMFAO. I've always gravitated towards ambient tunes, and have always ended up with 'I can't write under 8 minutes'. Maybe I do need to downsize a bit, but then, I don't own all that much gear - Logic, Reaktor, Battery, a Kaoss Pad, and a MIDI keyboard! LOL. Still lusting after one of those DSI eVolvers tho...

Thanks for kicking me up the jacksie, guys. I guess I'll just get my head outta the sand and try some different stuff... And, as I'm not a wine-drinker (am currently tee-total) I guess I'll have to start drinking wine! Haha. *runs off to buy a bottle of red*

Thanks, guys

All I want is an electric piano that sounds like it was recorded with a mic, with a bit of 'room space' to it. Everything I do just sounds like it was played in a vacuum - no colour or 'bounce' to it. I listen to alot of ambient/chill-out stuff (Air and the ilk) and their pianos sound marvelous. I know they're probably using £2000 microphones in a very expensive room...haha.

I need help; big help. I've been using for about 8 years and have never really found a 'true-and-true' method for writing music. I really want to start taking my stuff seriously in 2008 (as I'm on the verge of just 'dumping' music creation for something far less stressful...) but I don't know where to start in 'reinventing' myself within Logic. Where should I start, guys? Any suggestions you can make will, hopefully, improve my mood somewhat... (I have a big black cloud over my head at the moment).

Has anyone got any tips on making my EVP88 sound, well, not so sh...poop? I've tried all the usual processing technique (reverbs, delays etc) and no matter how much I tweak the parameters (on the instrument itself, too) it still sounds processed and 'close'. Thoughts? Help?

That's bloom' ace! I just got a decent track/riff idea from that!
