[@jaym2112]

God, I would love to hear or know what my favorite producers struggled with that they didn't publish. Sometimes I get so discouraged at the garbage in my DAW that listening to my favorite producers' incredible music just feels like salt on the wound and discourages me even more. That's a dark place...

[@citrus.ailuri]

I totally get that, it's like their music is on an entirely different unattainable level. But everyone had to start somewhere in the beginning, some more advanced, others less. You just gotta keep going no matter what, and the rest will follow.

[@Dooblecaine]

Your problem is comparing yourself to others and valuing your worth through it. Unless you're aspiring for social acceptance or commercial success, that's going to get you no where. And really if you're just in it for fame or fortune, your creativity is likely to be stifled. You're more likely to be formulaic. Plus what you hear from established artists has likely been mixed and mastered by proper engineers who do that for a living. With lots of experience and gear to make it sound fantastic. OTOH brief checks aren't so bad imo. Sometimes it's helpful to see you're NOT really stretching your abilities and caught in a cycle or rut, and listening to a well put together track from another artist can be resetting to where you are. So there has to be a healthy balance. And I think that balance is largely tuning out of the comparison. Otherwise, yes, you can easily end up in dark places. I speak from experience of doing that myself.

[@jaym2112]

@@Dooblecaine I can appreciate your point, but your initial assessment was a bit off. When we produce things, whatever that product may be, we usually have an end state in mind. This can be measured in terms of function, cost, quality, and any number of factors. Everything in life is a trade off where we discriminate between choices before us. So, even while we produce things for our own enjoyment, without any consideration to whether others will appreciate it, we still measure it's value in comparison to other products around us. Even if you solely measure the value in terms of the satisfaction of knowing you made the product with your own hands, the time you spent on that thing is compared to the time you may have spent producing something else. So, in the things we make, we compare the products of our labor to something. It's not a comparison of my value as a person to the value of another person. The people behind the products are incidental. It's me looking at the product of my labor and assessing whether I'm satisfied with it or not compared to a goal. Now, you may argue that I should "enjoy the journey more than the destination," or that the mere process of producing/creation is its own reward. And you may have a point, and most days I'd agree with you, but we all have our bad days. I don't care how zen you are, no one wants to spent hours of their life making a product that they are dissatisfied with. One day, I was hanging out with some family members. Some of the kids wanted us all to color a picture. Whatever we wanted -- single sheet of paper -- crayons. Everyone drew something. Everyone was laughing and having a good time. Well, one of the adults was a skilled artist, and when we all shared our drawings with one another, one of the kids saw how bad his picture looked compared to the others (in his own assessment of course), especially the artist's. Now, if that kid could see the terrible drawings from when that artist was younger, it probably would have bucked him up a bit. But here's the thing, I've seen him since, and he still colors and enjoys it. It was just a bad 10 min where he felt crappy comparing the product of his labors to the others -- others that were completed right next to him, in the same time frame, with the same tools in hand. It's just a temporary dark place, and seeing behind the curtain of the other producers' efforts would be really interesting. I don't have any aspirations of being my favorite producers, but I do have goals in mind for what a good product would be that I'd be personally satisfied with. Furthermore, gauging ones progress in music production is pretty nebulous, so it's useful to have a "gold standard" to compare to. But yeah, sometimes those comparisons just reveal how much farther you have to go, and it can go from useful to discouraging. That's all.

[@bontempo1271]

This is absolutely true. I recently listened back to old projects with just 'scratchpad' ideas, and i was totally astounded by some of them. Like holy shit thats great. And sometimes the sounds and ideas totally work for whats relevant today, and you can incorporate them and work from there. Its just at the time you wasn't feeling it or it was too far afield from the then current sound. Keeping a pool of old ideas if definitely a good thing to do. They are like incomplete traces of your expression. On a less positive and unrelated note, it also reminded me of my drive to be a unique and successful producer. I was able to bang out great generic tracks like it was nothing. I made 'brostep' era tracks and Retro House (before it was popular) and they all sound great. But to me that was easy. I was aiming much higher. But what i didn't know then is that the production heroes i was aspiring to, weren't doing anything extraodinary, i just didn't have the knowledge back then. So i guess, going back to look at your old work tells you something about your journey aswell.

[@weissgerauschenmusic6480]

I can relate to this sentiment. I’ve been doing this seriously for about 4 months now and about to hit the 60s in my “vault”. It’s a great place to revisit immature and underdeveloped ideas so you can improve workflow, mix, mastery, etc. sometimes a tweak, a new track, arrangement trick, then forget about it for another few weeks. I never believed there was a wall to creativity, sometimes I just need to put down a track and start a new one and then come back to it with better ideas. At least that’s my take on it as a newbie.

[@Ray-lx8le]

Yo as your just starting I cannot recommend enough to focus on music first and production after. Take this as someone whose been producing well over a decade. I built up allot of mental habits from being a big sound design and mix guy over music guy and it just meant I could polish many turds lol. Really focus on theory and write everything with basic instruments and if it makes you vibe on basic instruments then any synth or production technique is just going to add annunciation and give it that extra 20%. Production is very easy in comparison to writing a good song. These videos are so good. Back 10 years ago we had dubspot adsr and seamless and the videos out today I wish I had 10 years back so I didn’t develop loads of dumb habits lol. I rabbit on but best of look to you g.

It's kinda random and it just happened to be like this but it really works for me.

Some of my better releases now have come from revisiting old ideas and taking what I have learned in that time, reapplying it to the old parts and shine them up for a new sound. I did that for my last release. I didn't think it would do much of anything, but it hit %67 on the Hype chart on Beatport... and it was something I started 3 years ago!

[@fantinigerman]

This is the same as what Rick Rubin says in his book. The seed that doesn't get watered cannot reveal its ability to bear fruit. Collect many seeds and then, over time, look back and see which ones resonate. Sometimes we're too close to them to recognize their true potential, and other times the magical moment that inspired a seed into existence is bigger than the seed itself. It's generally preferable to accumulate several weeks' or months' worth of ideas and then choose which of them to focus on, instead of following an urge or obligation to rush to the finish line with what is in front of us today.
