I use to get so frustrated that my music didn’t sound as good as X Y or Z that making became so draining. As I’ve overcame this by just creating for fun or without a worry or thought I realized that that’s how you become better.
Obviously you need to be conscious of learning technical skills to advance your work but the actual implementation of those skills takes time and is at times a subconscious experience.
Looking back at my progress I notice how many concepts I have internalized over the years through consistent creation. It wasn’t something that I could have rushed or done faster it was just knowledge digested over time.
I’ve been so happy recently with my music because I’ve noticed that if I’m unhappy with certain parts of my creating it’s fine because I will improve them over time.
The main takeaway is when you’re frustrated with an element of your work just think that it will eventually improve and that it is great that you actually KNOW what to improve on moving forward!
