i wish there was an AI or better yet a human that could edit my jams into amazing sequences

I don’t know about AI, but there is a person: you.

I could, depending on your budget :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I think every musician on the planet would like that option as it’s usually the least enjoyable experience.
I would recommend looking at sites like Fiver.com as you can get great results with less than average domestic prices.

This is all assuming you intend to pay someone to do it. If you don’t intend to offer compensation, just ask yourself “would I do this for someone for free?”. The answer is of course no as you seem to not want to do it for yourself.

Speak for yourself!!! LOL, just kidding. I love editing and I see it as an essential part of creation and composition, not as a chore.

Fair enough,
I definitely find enjoyment in it but it is at the very bottom of my list of things I like about making/producing music.
In fact I’ve been putting videos up on Youtube for the past few years as a way to force myself to finish the editing and actually show my work.
Previously I would just get a good, general idea together and then abandon it for the next idea.

I’ve been struggling with this too, since basically, uh, ever. I think it’s part of the challenge of being a solo musician who produces their own stuff.

So, my suggestion is to look for a collaborator or creative partner.

I’m not saying you need to form a band. Just someone you can talk about music to.

What I found is that, while I hate editing my own jams, I enjoy working on other people’s stuff. I guess because all the choices aren’t so agonizing if it’s not my work.

So maybe you work something out where they edit your jams, and in return you edit theirs.

Another idea… my brother and I both make music, but not really the same kind of music. So while we don’t make music together, we often send tracks back and forth and say things like “I think this should be shorter, but what should I cut?” or “Which of these 2 takes is better?”

Writing is a solitary activity, but most writers swear by writing groups and peer groups to hone their work. Same idea here.

It really helps to have a sounding board for your sounds!
