When I go into any room that is a haven to music making- classic machines a plenty, I hear one little thing…usually “I still can not finish this track!”

I then take a good close look at this persons room and computer and usually the key to their predicament usually shows its face within a few minutes.

So I have collected the best 5 ways to get your tracks finished, made on time…and even started…without any musical influences:

None music way #1

Before you even start to make any music, make sure that the Internet is turned off. If it is a computer that everyone uses, make yourself a new user account without internet connection- this was my problem, so I turned off the Internet and saved myself 4 hours per day (surfing adds up)! If everyone is using that one computer, make sure that you have a secure section on it (passworded- so you can back up your section) as you can bet alot of money on something getting deleted. Even have a rota as who can have the computer at what times. You don’t want to be interupted in mid-fantastic-never-been-heard-before-number-one-hook making.

None music way #2

Do a mini spring clean and make things user friendly. I have a Temp Store, Downloaded Folder, VST folder (subfoldered into beats, FX etc). This makes my computer work well, quickly and makes my time in music making more efficient. If your computer is not efficient, or you have to have time to find a piece of software that holds the secret to your humming tune, then you will forget that hum before you find the folder. Having things at hand is a practical way of music making. I know of top artists that go around with a tape recorder or writing pad all the time just in case they get “inspiration”. The 2006 UK Football World Cup Song came to the artist in the bath.

The orchestra is planned to perform selections from George Bizet’s Carmen. Murney and Block will sing collections from Wicked and Ragtime, Chicago, Funny Girl and much more.
