Definately when I scan through albums for a decent track to listen to; makes me realise how much shite is out there and actually when I'm unsatisfied with my works it's because I'm comparing it to some serious pro tunes. |

I suppose it depends on what your standard for "fine" is, but I think your bar should always be set higher than where you are now. The trick is to keep it only slightly higher so you don't demotivate yourself. |
I'll back this horse, and its a trap I fall in to.
Are you comparing your tracks to the absolute best in the genre? This years massive smash? And then you can start to feel demotivated et al.
Keep at it, keep your levels of expectation realistic, you want to sound like Ferry for example? Best of luck to you, but don't get stressed if you don't/arn't. Good chance he has plus 10 years on you in the studio, some awesome gear, classically trained and the contacts.
Contunue to strive, and be aware you are getting better, how you are improving and where you are lacking and continue to move forward to your goals.
It may come, it may not, but the key is all about personaly enjoyment and satisfaction, not just about getting a record released, nor receiving financial benefits from your music. (At least for me)
And never delete stuff. Archive it yeah, but mix down everything and chuck the project folder into a "z_bin" folder, you never know, you may be flicking through your mixes and something grabs you....
