šŸ‘€What are you actually working on right now?
Been quiet on my end. Let's fix that. What's the biggest thing you've been working on in your sync catalog this week? Drop it below. No context needed, just tell me what you're building.

Born Original EP
This is the EP entitled Born Original I will be releasing on streaming platforms April 17th, 2026. I would just like some honest and helpful feedback on the context, feel of the tracks, quality, arrangements, or anything you feel needs improvement or anything specific you thought was done well. Also, please let me know if you think these are sync ready. Take care and be safe everyone. https://s.disco.ac/ooaufxlyxbis

@Adam Nelson thanks for the input. I have received the same feedback from a couple others so I do intend to make the necessary adjustments for sync purposes.
šŸ˜…I need your help. šŸ˜…
I'm working on my own music alongside you. We're doing this together. I just thought I'd remind everyone that's the case lol... and practice what I preach! So here I am asking for feedback. https://s.disco.ac/qnkhejohjcyw PHANTOM: This is a song that at this point is over 10 years old that I wrote with a guy named Vlad Holiday. It was my first proper co-writing session when I moved to New York and original, which is the first song in the playlist, never landed anywhere, and my skills since then have dramatically improved. The second version I started during covid that's a string remake of the original (still planning to get vocals on it)... but I've never found the right male vocalist to get on it. I'm considering singing it myself, although I'd need atleast a week of warm-ups and concentrated practice to get my singing chops up to snuff for this. Do I tackle it myself? Do I try to find another vocalist? Do I do both versions, the string version and an updated version of the more electronic downtempo vibe? The OG vibe worked great for 2010 but needs to be updated for 2026. Originally, the reference was Mickey Echo, if you all remember him (writer of Stay by Rihanna). Who's the reference for this now? This is one of the songs that I'm digging out of the crates and working on refinishing. Would it be helpful for me to break down my process as I work on finishing this in a video that I would share with you all? Let me know your thoughts. Appreciate you all. So grateful for the community that's building and growing here.

I think the OG version is just as good today as it was back then. I listen to a lot of older music which set the bar and standard for today (such as Dr Dres The Chronic, Outkasts Aquemini, Kool & The Gangs Summer Madness, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince, Queen, Funkadelic, and so much more), Plus theres so many kids today that prefer the older stuff, look at all the Tik Tok videos they watch.... so in my opinion there is no such thing as dated. I still think you will have some success with the older installment. I say Keep the OG (cuz the musicianship is there) and still make your revised version. That way you can attract two different audiences. The strings you did are powerful can be utilized in sooo many ways for sync (Transitions, mood enhancers, fillers, etc.) Are you adding any more instrumentation to that? Just curious as although its good it does sound empty sometimes. Just my 2 cents. In either case you are talented.

Shoutout to @Tyree Newton for getting his first track approved on Pond5 after a rejection. A few weeks ago he was getting rejected and asking questions. Now he's got a placement-ready track live on a major library and already planning the 30 and 60 second edits. That's the process working exactly how it should. That's how it's done. Shoutout to @Joe Goldberger for showing up to Monday's Q&A ready to work. Came in with real questions about Disco, library research, exclusive deals, and how to actually build a contact list that means something. 55 years as a professional drummer and composer, brand new to sync, and already doing the homework most people skip. That kind of preparation is going to pay off fast. That's how it's done. Shoutout to @Virgil Cash for finishing 6 tracks last week, starting two more mixes this week, and still taking time to encourage everyone else in the Monday thread. Productive and community-minded at the same time. That's the standard. That's how it's done.

🄵Hot take: Most composers don't have a pitching problem.
They have a catalog problem. You can't pitch your way out of having three finished tracks. Agree or disagree? Let's talk about it!

Just like you stated in the classroom with the Prince example, Quantity over Quality. My problem was focusing on the perfect mix… meanwhile nothing is perfect and your exhaustion your energy on things the listener won’t notice. Finish your tracks lol … incorporate the 20 hour rule.
