Yo
Pretty much every melody motif I can come up with is heavily derived off some random song I've heard before. I end up using similar instrumentation as well, since anything else sounds dodgy to me. I try and change the chord progression to make it more original, but that ends up ruining the whole thing, and I end up saving a .midi of the motif, preset-ing anything worthy, and abandoning ship.
This happened again recently with a dnb track, and since all of liquid dnb have the same drum beat, my track is a borderline remix, which bothers me quite a bit, cuz I probs will never get rights/permission to the original song.
Is this common for ppl starting off? How does one stay original?
