I was wondering if people in who post here like to start and finish a tune before starting another or work on many tunes at the same time(over the same time period).

I finish a tune if all my ideas gets right on, and I am not stuck with the tune I am doing, if I am stuck, I save the project and start a new one, and look at the "stuck" project some other time

It'd be a miracle if I ever got to finish a tune these days... I think I have 4 originals, 1 collab and a couple of remixes to do right now.... they always start promising and somewhere along the way I just run out of ideas.

There was a time when I could do a tune from start to finish in 3 days... now it takes weeks.

Yeah same here , in my impulse tracker days (still using it though for hiphop ) I could finish tracks in a couple of hours but now after i started using reason it takes alot of time to finish a track.

Aren't you signed tho mr mystery? I tottally understand what you mean though, it used to take me no time at all then it got gradually more till your taking months, now its getting better again tho(like 1 month now although it could be longer). I think its when you decide you want to make things of a pro standard, and when you know its almost or just attainable to do so it starts to take a lot longer. When something isnt quite right on a tune ill spend days on it and sometimes never get what i want. I have to say for me, by having such high standards it has made production less fun but i am getting better and production is becoming easier so it is becoming more enjoyable again. A rough patch tho full of frustration which i hope im coming to the end of. Fuck knows!

Well yeah, that's the other thing. Right now I feel that I don't want to "disappoint" with my next tune and therefore I seem to have set the bar insanely high. I now trash tracks I would had been perfectly happy with 6 months ago.

Thats really harsh, im not ready to be signed yet, ill know when n if i ever am. This is pretty wrong but i did coke while doing production before and it seemed to help loads, gives you the confidence and urge to really get stuck into a tune. I think half the time its a focus and confidence thing when things arent going well. When im not sure with something i often listen to it over and over and im sure that doesnt help. Best thing to do is just get on with the rest of a tune and comeback to it any parts your not sure about later when youve got 'fresh' ears.

when you have something a lead some pads and bass..

looping with a basic beats to hear the rythem, and picturing your self all these fx you gonne add and the l33t arrangment etc..

you start working on it, and turns out basic

oh well life is hard.
