That's probably because each of your beats is repetitive and not interesting.
You're being honest with yourself and allowing yourself to become dissatisfied. That's a sign of potential!
Dissatisfaction is one of the most powerful things in the world, but you need to be able to control it and channel it to push you forward rather than letting it
crush you.
I listened to all of the beats on your YouTube channel.
Here's what I'm hearing from your beats:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
----BBBBBBBBBBBB
--------CCCCCCCC
------------DDDD
There's very little variation. The only way you're currently adding interest is by stacking more and more patterns over the old ones.
I know how that goes. I've been there before.
Have you ever heard the phrase, "Beauty is in the details"? I had a friend who went to art school (a painter), and he kept emphasizing this to me.
You can draw a stick figure and everyone will know that it's supposed to be a man. It won't look that pretty or win any awards, but everyone will get the idea.
To take it a level higher, you can draw a correctly-shaped head and body, and it will look a little nicer.
If you add correct skin tones, it takes it to the next level.
If you add detailed lighting effects on the face, it takes it yet a level further.
Finally, if you start adding scars, slight disfigurements and imperfections, it starts to look almost real, and very compelling. It becomes something which people like to look at.
You need to focus on the detail in your beats. Right now, each one sounds like a basic sketch (a "stick figure" in my analogy) -- it sounds like what one of my beats might start out as. You don't need to throw these beats away, but you do need to build on them. Drop some things out. Make slight variations in the patterns. Mix things a little bit differently. Learn to use automation to vary your sounds over the course of your beats.
Pros stay interested because we pay attention to the subtle detailed nuance in everything. We argue about small sonic details which are so subtle that they affect our listeners' ears at only a subconscious level. This is how pros stay interested in ANY field. It also happens to be how older people stay interested in life itself
(trust me, as you get older, you see the same basic patterns over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over...).
