I was wondering what you guys think of working on multiple tracks at the
same time. I usually arm 3 tracks that I switch between constantly
throughout my session. So far I've done this with many tracks and they
don't turn out as I plan Does anyone else work on multiple tracks at once? |

| I'm currently working on five different songs, with four different singers, in five different genres. |

| i have 30-40 current projects. some near finished, some not. some started 10 years ago, some remixes of those again, some new material. some i thought was finished but decided it was not. its a soup of material which constantly grow and evolve. like a virus. |

| I stay focused on the track, because its most likely going to be released so there is that motivation. Sometimes a different track(could be different genre) spawns from whiten the project, I make sure I save that idea then go back to it after I had in whats due. |

| Sometimes it happens I jump to another track, but I usually know if I'll be finishing a track or I'll be starting a new one in under 30 minutes or so. |

always one track... you need to stay in the headspace.... if your pro then do what u want but if your writing to get better and improve then you do one track finish it then move on to another track...
The master skill above everything else is finishing tunes when you learning cau you bring that knowledge into next tune and slowly but surely you get better and better.
happy writing |

I take it you've never played in an original band, or studied music at a university? Working on multiple tracks at a time is what you often do in those situations. There's no right or wrong and it really has nothing to do with pro vs. amateur. If working on one track at a time works best for you, then that's probably the way you should work. But, understand that your preferred approach isn't necessarily everyone else's. |

| For me, 2 or 3 tracks at a time, always. Most creative types work this way, working on several songs or projects at a time. |

| I Layer and split all the tracks apart from the drum kit and play the lot at the same time. Ableton Live's midi effects are handy for that. I have around six songs with only the chorus thought out. I'm trying to work on just two mostly. |
