It's only been in the past few years that I have felt comfortable with "am I good enough" finally!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472005651272186159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278531911777080129.post-59589071121821162642014-03-11T13:00:54.328-07:002014-03-11T13:00:54.328-07:00Ah.

If you already have some success behind you then you are good enough :DThe Magic Theatrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499269051231066075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278531911777080129.post-32404847274200726822014-03-11T09:05:07.776-07:002014-03-11T09:05:07.776-07:00Thanks for the comment.

I've become just another guy doing what everyone else is doing. Personally that hasn't worked well for me. <br /><br />When working for hire we are asked to tap into that source to provide the service requested. No problem with that...I've done my fair share over the years. However, the reason I got the call in the first place was because of all of the study and internal work I'd done previously. <br /><br />The point of this article is to remind us that art comes from within and has its own rewards, that the journey is indeed internal.<br /><br />Thanks for chiming in.Chris Boardman Music Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654909363499197759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278531911777080129.post-44710731380671387242014-03-11T04:40:55.070-07:002014-03-11T04:40:55.070-07:00A better question is "is this good enough for...A better question is "is this good enough for x?" where x is royalty free library music, premium library music, a professional film score, etc. Then you can give a reasoned reply like "the samples sound a bit fake but the harmony is good", or whatever. <br /><br />I think if someone asks if they are good enough they need to have THAT question answered. There's still SOME subjectivity but not much. I think that kind of reply is more helpful that "only you can answer that question". If someone told me that I'd say, well thanks but that doesn't help me much.The Magic Theatrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499269051231066075noreply@blogger.com
