Ron Amedee Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Don't know if it's a bad thing..Except all my sequences are starting to have the same feeling....Do you old timer's stick with what worked the first time or venture into the unknown?

crackchecker Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 post one or two of they and let us take a look over them.Fresh eyes might do you some good.I always need a break from mine. Did some sequences for others last year about this time just to wake my own eyes up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I've seen plenty of good looking videos from people with 16 channels, but there are just so many things that can be done before it starts looking repetitive. Try some songs with different tempos.PS - have you checked your email lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to seperate the flame tip light on 2 of them from the added stalk lights, so I'm only flickering those flame tips and not the candle body. My two larger Noel Candles the Flame Tip is seperate, so I make them 2 channel candles. Keep the stalks lit 40-60% with flickering the flame tips.But sometimes I just have to get away from sequencing for a day or two myself, as it does tend to get to you if you spend hours on hours working on one of them! Especially the same song, sometimes I'll have 8 different sequences I can choose from to work on, so if I get bored, or tired, I can move on to one of the others. Doesn't always help ding it that way, and still have to take a break for a day or two sometimes, just to get a better perspective of what I'm going to do with it.

jimswinder Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I would have to agree with George...find songs that have different tempos...also try using just a few of your elements per song and not all of them in every song...I even just used one of my elements in a song last year...

RaceMedic Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I just did a song that has a copulation of 15 rock songs put into one ... I realized that you do not have to use EVERY element in EVERY song ... break it up a bit.My 2c worth !DaveP.S. OFFICIALLY finished sequencing my 8 new songs for this year ... now I am bored waiting for my lights to arrive ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstorms Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I like to go onto Youtube and just watch a ton of videos for inspiration. I also like the idea of letting the sequence sit for a few weeks/months then come back and tweak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a couple cold ones this weekend and leave the sequencer on the shelf. Listen to some other kinds of music and do, what I can tell from the work you've shared with me, what you do quite well... visualize it in your head.Come back to it in a few days or a week and try it with a fresh outlook. I find that when I leave it alone for a while, it helps me to think of new things to try. Having it right in front of me all the time gets me in a rut real fast.JeffI found this works the best for me.I haven't done a second of sequencing for a week.
