I'm not entirely sure if this is the best place in the KVR forum for it... but there's no section on "workflow" or "creative process" or "mindset" .... which kind of says something in and of itself, eh?
I figure you guys will appreciate it the most then!
When anyone signs up for the newsletter on my site, I automatically send them an e-mail asking them what they are struggling with.
I've collected 9 common struggles people have told me about and written a meaty article tackling them. Any of these things sound familiar?:
- 1. You think a part of your song is too long winded. You’re not sure if a part of your song is too repetitive.
2. You think your song (or some aspect) is too “simple.”
3. You can’t seem to make the sound you want. You think your sounds are “cheesy.”
4. You can’t seem to get a sound from your head into your computer.
5. You think your tracks are “unoriginal” or all sound the same.
6. You don’t know where to go next — you find yourself stuck after writing an 8 bar loop. Not sure where to take or bring your track.
7. You don’t think you have enough time.
8. You find yourself getting hit by creative blocks and are not sure how to get past them.
9. You think your music is trash. You think your music is bad. You find yourself doubting if you have the ability to make something good.
