Finishing a track

Does it hapen to you often that you begin a track get totaly excited about it but after a few hours of working on it you get tired of it and start a new track?

How do I finish a track with out having that problem!?

i have this problem very often too. it's when i realise that the track is boring

Yeah. I always start to think I could make a better, so I start a new one (lol).

Well who dosn't do that?

Well if it is that every body begins a new track all the time then how do people finish a track?!

I can relate to that!

I think it's natural to start tracks and realize that they are either bad or just not worth finishing after a couple hours working on them.

well maybe soon I am getting signed so I got some motivation

I didn't want to open a nother thread so could anyone answer a question please?

when I play 2 short notes in cubase (2 sixtheens) after each other, I get a clip sound, and it sounds kind of fake. I guess it is because im on ASIO mode... Is there a way for changing that to primary? or any other solution?

Happens to me all the time. I have over a hundred projects I've never finished. Hell, even the shorty songs I've posted here are not finished. When I get out of the Army nect year, I'll have time to focus on producing.

i never finished a track, im always improving and experimenting///nothing wrong with that i guess

I often wonder that, myself having 100 or so unfinished little loops.

Of the 40 or so tracks I've finished (only about 5 really count), I've noticed the pattern is in the way you write.

YOu can't go "I'm a producer, I should just go make a track," go, sit down, start playing with your piano and some synths, etc.

You realize "hey, I'm a person, XXXXX really meant something to me, I'm writing a track," then i go sitdown and create some original SOUNDS first and compose from there.. those don't get boring. Hope this helps.

Everythime I open the Cubase or Reason, I try many patterns (drums and basses), and many sounds for kicks, hats, and basses...

Until now I don't have one track, BUT I want to compose 10 tracks for a cd compilation.

These 10 tracks may have similarities: like the tracks structures, track sounds and patches and mastering, then I have a work with 10 (+/-) "compatible" tracks...

I hope you can understand my idea on my poor English.

What I'm trying to say is: Your work isn't done until it keeps THE place you want on the music scenario you are trying to publish (disco houses, spread on internet, for djs play or to play alive). You have to fit your job to your interests...

Ah, invite some friends, play your music and see if everybody is dancing... if they are dancing good!! Trance Music is to keep the floor dancing! (try to avoid alchool a lot, because if you put waltz they will keep dancing hehe)
