That is typical… all the people I know started making loop after loop, me included.
If look at the folders of my first years and there are hundreds of unfinished projects…
I think when you already have a notion on how the software works it’s a good idea to force yourself on finishing one project before going into a new one.
First because you’ll learn how to develop loops, which is something crucial into developing musicality. Making a loop is fairly easy, but that is only a concept or an idea not a full track. A track is something that evolves, changes, turns, etc. Or it should… I hear so many copy paste music today. I call it washing machine music. Something that turns and turns and turns… and it’s always the same. I don’t know if it’s is the way the so called producer wanted it, or the inability to make something deeper and more mature in terms of music making. I doubt any so called musician would like listening to an 8 minutes loop… but that’s very personal in the end.
The only way to learn that is doing it, and paying a lot of attention to what others are doing.
Ravel’s Bolero is 15 minutes long and it’s always the same melody in different instruments with a very very long crescendo. I love it. But it’s very well done, it’s not a copy and paste washing machine stuff.
Second because when you start a lot of stuff it’s really easy to loose interest in the precious gift that music making is. When you spend a few weeks on a project and then start something else the vision is completely different than if you’re starting something new every few days. I think the mind gets more focused on the broad picture than the small details. but that again is very personal.
I say try to stick with a track for a few weeks, or until you consider it finished. Then see for yourself it that’s the way, or if you prefer the more erratic modus operandi which so many people embrace nowadays in the easy digital era.
One thing I hear all beginners in production say is “it has lots of errors and…”. Never ever fall in that attitude. If you think there are errors and see them, correct them. If you don’t see the errors and say that anyway it means your not giving value to your work. Correct yourself. If you think you’re still not there listen to music you like and learn from that. Listening to music is half the story of a composer/producer.
A lot of beginners think their music is bad because it doesn’t sound like the records they like. A lot of the times it’s not a matter of composition, it’s a matter of audio engineering. Put a mastering plugin to your master channel with a multiband compressor, maximizer etc… something like izotope’s ozone. Your productions will go to a higher dimension, trust me.
Making good music is not easy. There’s a lot of work involved. But always remember “Pain is momentary, music is forever”
I listened to your loops and the concept is not bad. The sound is still flat but with some compressors it should get better. Keep working!
