You know, I’m at the point in production where I mute parts of an arrangement while in the various versions of song mode across my devices. And I mentioned how overwhelming it gets keeping the parts ordered, and remembering which part to go to that I set up 3-4 parts back.
I think even with all that juggling, you can hear the repetition over the track and it sounds lazy, even though it’s very much not.
I think maybe I need to really start figuring out variations on parts a bit more, and work on A/Bing parts.
The only thing is that whenever I post here, I’m fatigued by my own track and really just want to move on from it, no matter the state it’s in.
Then it’s exactly the same every time. Day 1 “it’s the best thing ever, I can’t believe I can make music”…. Day 2 “Holy shit, that’s trash… how can I even think that’s music”. To finally day 3 “you know, it’s actually not that bad… not great, but not bad”
I’m relying on the fact that Im farming experience through habitual production by spitting out a track every other day, and the incremental improvements that come with it.
Plus, not to be a dick, but I listen to what a lot of people put out and it’s not always better than what I put out, so I know I’m somewhere nestled in the middle of a bell curve of musical ability.
Plus, we are in a bubble in this community. How many people truly make music on a regular basis, for the sheer madness of it?
