I've been busy making music lately and the way I've been going about doing it is pretty weird.
For a long time I've been producing tracks, but for the last few years I was sruck in the 'intermediate' area, where I could make dope ass songs, that sounded dope individually, but compared to actual releases were lackluster sound quality-wise.
So I struggled for a long time, and few days ago I thought fuck it, let's try to literally remake a song from somebody I like. I would spend days perfecting sounds and rebuilding the songs I liked, and when i finished remaking the song to my best ability, I'd then go and make my own song with the same mix I copied from a given song.
I've done this for the third time this week and my mixing has already increased in quality, and I learned important lessons. Mainly that there is so much more subtetly and nuance to a SIMPLE ASS track that goes unnoticed even to the trained ear, it really makes you humble and motivates you to do your own thing.
What do you think, what helped you guys take things to the next step?
