Dave Tough's blog

i was all set to have an operation to sort out the swelling and guess what

They had a look and its worse than they expected, so they didnt do it in the end so pics will have to wait lol, and i need to find a camera strong enough to take the photos ha ha ha

Anyway like the sun is still as it was, just a beat and a few samples. Im gonna finish it and upload it as soon as i can.

Like the sun is annoying me now

Ive got the basics as some of you will have heard but adding to it is a real pain. I spent 3 hours yesterday searching for the right thing to add and found diddlysquat (apart from 5 p behind one of my speakers lol) i think im gonna come back to this one and concentrate on electro 1 for a bit.

Always happy to hear comments or any advice/tips on what im doing wrong

Like the sun is halfway finished now just need to add a few layers and will upload the track when done.

just been told my resignation cant be cancelled so need another job now lol, although i think i need a rest first which should do me good

Been away for a couple of days but All I Want seems to be doing well, cathie sorry to hear about your dog ;(. thanks for the votes people as I said before compared to other people my song is simplaistic and I dont expect it to do well but it s beaten my expectations already so heres to nothing

Heres a list of the new trax on here

1: ALL I WANT – Finished 2: Like The Sun Sample 3: Electro 1 Sample

check em out, im happy with Like the sun although it shows 3 minutes it is only about 2 cos i mucked up and left a vocal at t’other end of screen when saving there fore it counted all the bars lol. All i can say is when im inspired i forget everything else, if you listen to the full song, about 15-30 secs from end theres a loner sample just stuck in limbo ha ha lol

Electro 1 I havent got the foggiest idea what im gonna do with it, but will see what happens.

All I Want speaks for itself, youve seen the build up now there is the finished article

2 new samples put on plus finished All I want, see what you think and as always feel free to leave comments.

Ive entered “All I want” into club/dance for august although its onl basic and i dont expect it to do well compared to some of the songs ive heard but hey its in there.

2 new uploads, same song just the second one has more vocals, i cant decide which is best, would love to hear comments on them, on this subject thanks Cathie for the support youve shown since i came on which has been nearly 5 weeks ago now lol. time flies when your having fun ; )

well i should have my demo in 6 weeks time ready and raring to go, im hoping that someone likes it even if it is a small independent label, ill be happy. i want to get my foot on that ladder then ill start to write full time, at the moment its when i can be bothered (which isnt much these days)

anybody who listens to my music, please feel free to leave comments as id like to know whether people like it or not

well my first dance track is finished and will be on tomorrow, look out for it its called “All I Want”. now this is just an experimented song, obviously its quite simplistic but once i get to the point where i feel comfortable doing more and becoming more complex, we shall see what happens. I would love to hear your comments once this song is up and playing.

anyway, for those who are aware of this already, i am sending a contract off to paramount for a song called “just tired” mainly because this is a song that people have said is one of my best

I recieved a response from Paramount as shown below;

Dave, I understand how you could be concerned, but I’m not sure what guarantee you would be satisfied with. We obviously can’t guarantee any success. We simply provide great melodies and demos and help writers get their songs to publishers and artists. That done, it’s your songs, not us, that determine your success or lack thereof.

If that’s sufficient, we’d be happy to work with you. But it’s not my job to sell you on something you wouldn’t be comfortable with.

best regards,
