    I think the main reason you feel your music sounds bad usually starts when you compare it to other artists. Instead, you should focus on yourself and try to improve your music production skills and then compare your current music with your previous music to see how much you have improved.

    What helped me out when making good music is realizing that I needed to stop overthinking-it’s just a song. There are lots of beats out there for you to use to sound good and improve. Just have fun with your music or your sound, no matter what people say. Seek feedback if you want to get better, but always stay true to yourself!!! 💯 Lastly, enjoy the process!!!!

  • @keeptrxllbeats4201

    For some peoples like myself it’s not feeling about your music sucks as u say kayo sometimes it’s our subconscious mind that put us those self limit belief because u think that you music has to be perfect to please everyone with it even if you think that your music is good for your audience and whatever it doesn’t matter how many peoples tell you that your beats are hard you will always feel that you aren’t enough

  • @yerry5606
    @yerry5606 Před měsícem +1

    This is so insanely accurate, ive been making beats for few years, yet ive still not made a single track that would blow my mind in a same way that the songs and instrumentals that made me want to start producing did. Feels like its an endless chase, that doesnt even necessarily have anything to do with your knowledge or getting ”technically” better. Still love it tho

    I can get dreamy, this helps me. Since I started producing 12 years ago, I told myself I can make better music than “insert artist here” I’m talking massive names like Odesza and Griz. I think this could happen for sure, but it’s not a good focal point. Having a learners mindset is key, and knowing when our quality has reached the same quality as the pros

    For me, everything about music production comes to these simple things : 1st question to my self : do I have the minimum for music production? Does my ear understand notes at a basic level, or do I have a basic rhythm? Do I know a little bit of theory ? Then start. 2nd question: am I going to devote REALLY about 600-700 hours of song writing, to learn my DAW, start making chord progressions, start understanding and using the plugins, start understanding a little bit of mixing by trial and error ? 3rd question: am I going to accept that my music will SUCK unless I reach the 900-1100 hours threshold of ACTUAL SONG PRODUCTION (25 SONGS that they will probably suck) , and AfTer that my music will begin to be a little bit acceptable ( still not pro) ? So everything comes to : I need to devote at least 1200-1500 hours so my music starts becoming pro level. And these hours should be devoted to ACTUAL song writing by trying techniques and applying the theory

    How do you push through?
    Don’t fall into writers block, if an idea isn’t working - scrap it and move tf on asap, save everything though. Writers block isn’t real, it’s not, it’s a limiting belief. Depression, mental health, tiredness, are all very real though, these are impairments. Minimize those to the best of your availability.
    Anyways read the creative act by Rick Rubin or listen to the audio book - incredible book that puts to rest so much bs and helps you get back to what’s actually important.
