Day 15 creating electronic music from scratch every day

Creating electronic music from scratch every day has been an incredible journey filled with both creative breakthroughs and unexpected obstacles. On Day 15, I tackled a frustrating setback: after spending an hour crafting a unique trance track at 128 bpm and 852 Hz, complete with custom MIDI clips, my freshly recorded audio was muted by TikTok and Lemon8 for alleged copyright violations. This was especially disheartening since the music was completely original and recorded just minutes before. From this experience, I realized that automated systems for copyright detection can sometimes be overly restrictive, mistakenly flagging original works when they contain common chord progressions or sound patterns prevalent in popular genres like trance. It highlights the need for creators to understand platform policies and possibly look into registering original works or using services that support independent musicians. Despite the challenges, daily music creation fosters rapid skill development and personal artistic growth. I used software tools with features like BACK/UNDO and easy clip management that make experimenting accessible and efficient. Sharing music on high-quality platforms that respect artist rights is also crucial to avoid such frustrations. Overall, this process taught me resilience and the importance of community support. For fellow electronic music producers, keeping a log of your production process, including tempo, key, and unique elements like synth settings and MIDI data, can help prove originality if disputes arise. Embracing these hurdles ultimately strengthens your craft and perseverance in the digital age of music.
