all my productions sound muddy compared to this new sidechained tech house shit thats being mushed out atm and tbh it all sounds the same.

imo we should go back to producing like a noob and be more creative rather than trying to keep up with todays 'standards'

I am still in this exact same rut. I've finally realized what it was and I'm working through it.

When I first started producing, inspiration was the key for me to start making some music. Whether it was a synth/sample sound, classical music, or some other song
I heard, that is what sparked my creativity.

Then right after, I'd pick out some simple kick, clap, hihat, etc, and add to it a simple beat. I'd use some preset for my main melody and roll with it. Then I literally
started just piecing it all together.

The trick nowadays for me: Go back to my old ways

In the days where I can't figure out a nice sounding melody, then I'd just start making some patches to use for later. Got a nice little sound bank of my own now.

Don't focus on effects, compressing, eqing, reverb, delay, and all that right away. Worry about that after you've worked on your melodies, nice groove syncopating
with them, and the bassline that compliments them. Good luck bro

yup have fun, chill out, take pleasure in it.

If its no fun, if you get no plesure from it and you never finish anything then i would give up or at the very least have a very long break and do some soul searching.

I followed this path some tiem ago and it helped me loads.

I agree. The beach boys persisted for 1 year with 'good vibrations'.

The best film makers have obsessive attention to detail and take the crew and cast through hell sometimes.

For 'some' people it's all about having fun, fair enough, but blanket statements like it's all about having fun, or good tracks make themselves just do not bare any scrutiny.

Some of the worlds best paintings took thier artists through long and agonising journeys, why should music be any different?

Raymond Blanc is one of the top chefs in the UK, and he agonises every tiny detail and remakes a recipe dozens of times until he puts something on his menu. A bit of fun - a lot of work and sweat.

Most of us could bang out some generic unicorn trance and have fun in the process, but there is no value in doing this for me personally.

I am amazed at the carvings of long dead craftsmen. Those carvings took sweat and tears, they did'nt just pop out of a few hours of fun.

We're all doing this for different reasons, and on the whole my aim is too have fun. I have a day job for income anyway, but the fun I have is tempered with a lot of toil and sweat I guess.

least she isnt screaming "OH MY GOD TAKE IT OUT TAKE IT OUT" which in my experience is swiftly followed by "ok, we tried it you happy? now were not doing it again"

Stupid tight ass bitches, need to loosen up a bit.

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

LOL, wall of text no ones gonna read that.

My advice would be stop making music altogether, eventually an idea will come that's so good, you'll forget about tweaking stuff and focus on the music.

Four hours on a bass line thats dedicated lol.

No everyone gets this, the best thing I find is to keep the track moving, even if your not happy with the sound currently.

So - Put another finished track in your project and try to make your tune move along structure-wise in the same way to give it a start/finish measure to fit your tune to, you should then make progress.

Have several projects to work on too.

On some days just have a "technique day" where you follow a tutorial or two to make a certain sound, dont even work on a track you intend to finish, it all helps.
