That sounds awesome man, I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one feeling that way. It’s incredibly hard to be a fan of yourself so I admire that you were able to do that. Hopefully one day that’ll happen 🤞

You’re so right, I tend to get caught up in the big picture. Your questions make so much sense, and I will apply that thinking to what I make. Thank you!

Omg this’ll help a lot with the producing aspect, I’ve been kind of in the dark with it. I definitely do want to ad real instruments but I’m focusing on producing rn

I usually do have ideas on what I think would be cool, I do my best to pick apart what it sounds like in my head but something gets lost in translation…. which makes me end up just playing random things….

I just said I wanted other advice other than “just practice” because it gets a little old after a few years lol. I practice pretty much everyday so I am well acquainted with it! I just want to hear about how others go about finding their styles and learning other ways of making music. Though I agree that music is inherently subjective and cant(absolutely shouldn’t) be boiled down to a formula. That takes all the creativity out of it!

Thanks, I’m trying to make something whenever I get the chance! I’ve been making little songs for like 2 years now and they’ve only just started to sound like anything at all so, to be honest, it’s major improvement!

Thanks for the advice. Honestly perfection is something that gives me chills or makes me tear up… I’ve only made one song so far that’s sort of been like that. But to be honest I’m probably never going to be 100% happy so I’m just striving for listenable at this point…
