On Friday, I bought Sony Music Studio 7. I am not a musican, I can’t sing, I can’t play an instrument, well I did play the sax for about a year when I was about 9-10 yrs old or so. And I did know how to read music when I was a kid, because well, back then in school, they taught music and I had to learn how to read music. Man I feel old now. But I haven’t touched music really in about 30 years, well I did sing in my church choir…..(stay on topic Heath, stay on topic). The point is, that I really don’t know anything about music. So why did I buy Music software? Well that’s a good question!
As you all may or may not know, I am trying to start getting paid to make video’s. And when you make video’s people (clients) usually want some kind of music, not always, but enough. Well I have got PLENTY of music, it’s just not mine. Well, it’s mine but I don’t own the copyrights to the music. What I do for myself is one thing, what I do for a client who is paying me…..I am sure you see where this is going. So since I don’t own a Mac (not yet) and I don’t have all the cool things you all do. I had to buy the music software. I use Sony Vegas, heard some nice thinks about Music Studio and well that’s why I bought it.
Now back to the “I have no idea how to make music” That’s true, I really don’t have any idea, well I guess I should say I “didn’t”. Today, today April 27th, I made my very first piece of music. Now I did it with the loops that Sony provides (which I can do anything with, btw…yea). It’s not the best piece of music you will ever hear, but I made it. I made it after just messing around a bit and trying some things out. This is what I do, I try. I always am trying to learn new things. I hope to get better but for my first try I think it’s OK.
So, now that I had music, I needed to set it to some video, so I took some left over Navlopomo video and piced togehter this little video here. It goes with my experimenting I like to do every once and awhile. So I hope you all like it, and let me know what you all think!
Vlog On!
God bless loops. I love loops! Sounds great, Heath, you musician, you!
If music be the food of love, play on…
Another string in your bow. Would love to hear you play sax too!
i love it.
Cool, and not too bad!
I used to have gigs and gigs of loops/samples that I could have shared with you but I think I lost them all in the great hard drive crash of ‘08.
I’m not great at it, but I have made the sound track for a few of my videos … and it’s always very satisfying to do so.
You can check out the songs (I use the term liberally) I made using loops/samples if you want at:

If I can recover all those loops/samples I had, I’ll let you know.
Look at ya! “I USED to have loops”..
I kid, I’m just glad you are back up and running!
I’ve been doing the same thing with Garage Band. Love it!
