I have been producing for about 3 months now and I have improved a good amount, but my stuff still sucks.
I wanted to do a track a day, but now I'm just dreading it. Today was the first day and I didn't even want to do it. I seriously just spent one hour throwing a whole song together, I had no direction I just did it non stop as fast as I could. I just didn't feel like doing it mainly because I don't know what I need to do. I just low passed some chords and made a second melody with an arp to start off and then the transitions top the buildup are shit.
I don't know why but I feel so bored with it, I mean I like creating beats and melodies and all but like Idk how to describe it. I just feel like I want to give up and I have no motivation to complete any track right now. I don't know if this means I need to quit. I have only made 3 tracks so far. The worst part is that the first one I made I spent about a week making and it is my best one by far. Maybe I should take a break for a few days and start with a new track and do about one track a week so I don't feel overwhelmed? I wanted to learn and progress nicely, which was the whole reasoning about doing one track a day.
I don't know what this is or what this means. but I got into the studio today and forced myself to do something. I hope I can just learn something form this session because I really don't feel like doing this right now.
Basically I don't know if I feel like this because I feel so degraded about my own stuff and I am comparing myself, or if i just don't feel like doing it. I have also been working on the sound design of this track for about 4 days now probably nearly around 30-35 hours worth and have got nowhere so that was disappointing.
Sorry for the rant being all over the place with no structure. I typed how I felt exactly in that moment. A lot of repeating, but thanks to anyone who reads. I need some motivation right now or someone to tell me something at least. not looking for pity though so don't post that please. You can be hard on me.
