80

Why not 1 and 90, or 1 and 100? What makes 80 so important?

It depends on the genre, if you're talking about more improvisational/lo-fi music then you really don't have an excuse to make less than 3 or 4 albums a year.
If you make highly polished rock/metal music then it should still only take you about a year to finish an album.
I've been making music my whole life, the fact that some musicians take 5-10 years between albums totally baffles me.

>>72316310
For starters I don't think that people under the age of about 15 should be making albums. So that just leaves the question if I tbink people between the ages of 95 and 115 shod be making albums which admittedly I'm a little less sure about.

>>72316616
I can understand a 4-5 year break if you deliver consistent quality. Sometimes some musicians need longer breaks to recharge their creativity and shit

>>72316774
Lmao if you weren't trying to make music when you were 13.
If you didn't want to then, you'll never be good.

>>72316852
Wut, I said make an album i.e. publish an album.

However long it takes in both instances.

Somewhere between "as long as" and "they fucking want".

>>72316911
Then when do you start? Why not publish the first shitty album you ever made? Who knows, maybe somebody will like it (happened to me).
If they don't then you get exposed to criticism at a young age, and learn how to deal with it.
You also get experience in thinking about albums as a whole, and trying to create cohesive experiences.

It's like saying, "don't take a picture of or scan your drawings until you're somehow magically 'good enough'."
Feedback and exposing other people to your music is how you grow as an artist, if you don't learn that young then you probably never will, and just continue to make garbage for the rest of your life.

How ever many years it takes until the musician feels it's complete.

Pretty sure you just answered your own question.

>>72317007
>It's like saying, "don't take a picture of or scan your drawings until you're somehow magically 'good enough'."
And it's really not. At all.

>>72316094
1 year to fuck off and enjoy the spoils of war, 1 year for writing and recording, 2 years on the road, rinse and repeat.

>>72317133
Most music is already bad, what difference does it make if a 13 or 14 year old kid uploads his album to bandcamp?

>>72317147
Drawing is art, so is music, go ahead and publish your naive art online, maybe somebody will be nice enough to give you constructive criticism. How is that a bad thing for any party involved?

And if you're too dumb to learn how to work with criticism, then it's already too late.

>>72317240
Ok first of all I said about 15

If you wanna post actual published albums Im all ears. Offhand the youngest I know that would qualify for me is the first Beastie Boys album when the drummer Kate was 15

Otherwise I'm not really interested in platitudes.

>>72317297
Well, Michael Jackson's first appearance on a record was when he was like, 11.
I don't really like Michael Jackson, but just making blanket statements like if you're under 15 then don't try to publish anything is fucking stupid.
You should be trying to get experience in as many aspects of recording music as possible, and learning how to mix and sequence an album is valuable experience.

Wow didn't see Jackson 5 coming. Any more low hanging fruit?

This is why learning how to accept criticism is important.

>>72317489
That has literally nothing to do with my post. You clearly only know vague platitudes and low hanging fruit history.

You really like saying platitude, did you learn that word today?

>>72317553
And you really like espousing them.

Saying that experience is valuable isn't a vague platitude.
