What comes first the track name or the track???

[David]

That depends, actually.

 

Sometimes I think I've got the perfect name for a track and I know how I want the final track to sound and I work from there (to hopefully reach the goal).

 

But, I've written nameless tracks and then trying to find a suitable name for it.

 

For instance, I got all the names for the new album written down, and all I have to do now is to produce four more tracks for the names that are yet trackless.

Eh ..?

Want a clue? You seem to need one. Detector cares, and that's probably why he asked the question in the first place. Don't be such a jerk - there's really no point.

 

But it was a cool picture. I'm saving it for future use

[Tatsu]

Don't do that, it's allready overused here!!

[Guest djnemo]

for me its usually like this

 

I have a project name. Which is sorted by number/month/day so if I make 2 tracks today, it would be: 010208 and 020208. This is so I can keep track of what I did and when. Once the track is finished, I will name it. Naming is mostly spontaneous, or if it gives me a feeling of something, then it will be named after the feeling.

 

A track finished today would probably be called: Nervous Breakdown or Evicted and Convicted.

omgwtfbbq thread hi-jacked!

 

Anyways, most of the time I name my tracks after I've made them. When I start a track I normally just use a temp name, then come up with a better one as the track comes along.

[Colin OOOD]

Generally, by the time a track is half-written it's pretty obvious what it needs to be called. Sometimes a track will be finished before a name turns up, and sometimes a track will have its name changed long after the fact. It works all ways.

Yes I have He have had it like that for a couple of weeks now.

[Otto Matta]

I'm with Colin. My names generally appear in the process of making a track. I try to wait for the track to decide what it wants to be called, and sometimes that happens after the track is done.
