From phone demo to fully mastered in 45 seconds

This shows my process in less than a minute. My process is always

start with a melody,
work out what key I'm in and chords that would work,
practise playing and recording on my phone mic,
put down MIDI instruments (drums, bass, harmonies) and record the parts I can do (acoustic guitar and vocals)
get other parts in (friends, sometimes Fiverr if I have the budget)
Mix and master (sometimes do it myself, sometimes outsource...)

Is this how you do it? Do you start with chords first or the melody? Do you map it out with MIDI alone or go straight to playing with other bandmates to get the supporting parts?

I made this about someone I couldn’t let go of, with a special voice and guest

I don’t usually post my music like this, but this one felt too personal not to, I’m Terrex and I just dropped a track with trinityjoan about not being able to let someone go, even when you know you should.

It’s one of those songs that came out late at night and ended up saying more than I expected, not sure if it actually hits or if it’s just me

Need ideas/ advice for the intro!

Hi! I’m working on a more technical, granular breakcore-esque track and have this for the first drop so far.

I started earlier to move onto an intro but I don’t like what I currently have - any suggestions or ideas?

Thank you!

UnitedMasters Scam Warning “music company”

Did you guys know you can only sue UnitedMasters for 100$ that’s all they are liable for.. in there terms they say they are only liable for 100$ or less..

Meaning if you care about your music and it’s important to you id look somewhere else. This company literally has 1 star on BBB… 1 Star.

Meaning they can steal all your money and there’s nothing you can do. They can ruin your life and all you can get is 100$

Any company that has a 100$ liability for potentially stealing your life’s work, or the way you pay your bills is definitely doing something shady. I urge everyone to read terms before signing up with distributors.

They also are known for closing accounts and stealing all royalties. So if one of your 100 songs gets copyrighted they will steal earnings from the other 99 songs. “I wasn’t copyrighted” but just scroll down the Reddit or do research you’ll seen more than enough claims. They also close accounts for no reasons and also don’t provide any proof or reasoning.

UM has also tried to claim 100% of people’s songs on SoundExchange, this is some crazy fraud shit. like this needs to be Investigated.. like seriously

It’s crazy they just put there employees and stuff online for anyone to target. You’d think a POS company would try and hide this..

The owner literally has a lawsuit for abusing, sexual harassment and wage theft of employees. And you think he won’t steal from you? Be serious.
