The intro to this video hits deep
Great one to come back to. Thanks!
The value of these lessons and ideas is sublime. Thank you deeply!
You have no idea how much I needed to see this. Writers block is the worst. Thanks guys!
I just got done exercising and I'm ready to finish some tracks 🏃 - great video guys!
31:00 - absolutely banger advice, going to implement this mindset 💯
what keyboard is that?
Im so bad at finishing songs, currently sitting on 90 minutes of music, nothing is finished, but what you said in the end made me think. The gap between what we expect or what we had intended to make and what the actual song is going to be. If guys like you have that then maybe I should just live with that, too. I should stop waiting to be better at it, especially if I never finish anything I wont ever learn how that works. Thank you for the tips and have a good day.
Was diggin on that the more serious version of Hourglass! Hope you release it!
Great tips guys, i often find it difficult to finish tracks or to know when to stop working on them. As you say, sometimes you just gotta either step away for a break or finish it and move on
