I finished 24 songs in the past 20 days?!

[Douglas]

So... "I have no life", and I compose music 5-10 hours every day. Here is what I've finished since the beginning of this month:

Here is my latest original: https://soundcloud.com/douglas-the-awes ... -with-lmms

Here is a playlist of all the Undertale remixes I've been working on for the past twenty days: https://soundcloud.com/douglas-the-awes ... -undertale

Tell me what you think!

The Drum And The Bass And The Sounds That Kill You [Made with LMMS]: I like the progression well thought out.

Wow, 23 tracks in 20 days! things are getting hot !

After this period of intense activity, will you rework your tracks?

I like chiptunes, and you have some nice compositions! I'm following your account now.

What do you mean, rework my tracks? Do you mean re-make them? Actually, I don't think I will. I'm trying really hard to make more originals, because for some reason I'm struggling the most with what many people consider to be the easiest part. I'm fantastic with mixing, mastering, and sound design (all of which are supposed to be extremely difficult), and I'm absolutely terrible at song arrangement and note placement (which are supposed to be not-nearly-as-hard). I've mastered (pun totally intended) all the difficult stuff, but I'm really, really struggling with the basics!

I seem to be switched around with where most would be right now. The hard stuff is easy, and the easy stuff is hard. Not only that, but my obstacles are reversed, too. Most people start hundreds of tracks and never finish them; I finish every track I start, but I really, really (really really really) struggle with starting a new song. I try starting with a beat, no ideas. I try starting with a melody, no ideas. I try simply starting with a list of instruments, no ideas. I'm the opposite of everybody!

Maybe that's why the collaborations I'm working on right now are sounding very good. The other person is great at what I'm terrible at, and vice versa! That's an interesting thought...

Thank you!

Sorry for the confusion, I wrote "rework your tracks" in the sense of "refine, polish, continue to work on your tracks".

Well, you answered the question by writing that your tracks are finished.


(For my part, I have difficulties in both composition and mixing ...The only solution I found was to stop the parasite thoughts that crossed my mind, and move on. And when a parasitic thought emerges, I stop it, and I go on, step by step).

My method is to remind myself that I'm not submitting anything to Monstercat yet, so it's completely fine if the song sucks. I'm a terrible perfectionist, and that's probably my biggest issue with making music.

lol.

It is also in a perfectionist worry that I asked if you planned to continue the finishing of your tracks (in no case I implied that your tracks sucks).
