How To Create Your Own Magic

ouncesmusic · 11-20-2011, 04:54 PM

I've always wondered the same but had fear of running into "the idea's already created by someone else."

Reminds me of the music industry. You can write an original song only to find out later that someone holds rights to a song already that sound similar. I've made a lot of "main stream" style of songs on my own, and there have been hundreds of times where I would say to my self, "they stole my song."while listening to mainstream radio stations. Lol, obviously they didn't but this brings me to raise the question: If you find your self in a similar situation (come up w/ an idea and find its been done), where than does the direction of creating a trick go towards? Hope that makes sense...

simple answer for that 2nd question: Forward.

just because someone already made something similar doesn't mean you can't revamp it, there was a saying i heard somewhere: "try try as they might to copy an author's book, it is only he himself that can continue it". if you came up with an effect independently, you surely, can make it into your own thing, don't give up when you meet a similar effect to yours, just go on expanding the effect/move.
