Recently I've been working really hard on improving the quality of my music. I really want the next song I release to be a huge step closer to better quality electronic music.
I've run into this problem where I start a song with a basic idea that I love. It could be a whole drop or just a single element of a track. I then build off this and branch out until I've got a full song. My problem is by the end of the process I've worked on this track really hard and now I dont think it's very good. I don't have that initial excitement to release this track.
I'm very new to making art and I'm guessing this is probably pretty common. I listen to sections of my track over and over and sometimes I listen to it when I'm not even going to work on it. I just want to make sure that the idea is still good so I know its worth working on. Sometimes I listen to the idea and I don't like it and then sometimes I do. Its getting very confusing and throwing me off.
Currently I'm sitting on 3 finished tracks I initially thought where very good and were my best work yet.
How do I fix this problem? Should I stop listening to my tracks so much? Or are my expectations just too high?
