How many tracks have you actually finished?
Friend also told me that somehow Logic X starts to feel a bit GarageBand-ish. Dunno.
honestly I think this probably happens to most artists. It used to take me a week to write a song and it would be a STRUGGLE to get to the end. Now, I try and do the majority of the work as quickly as possible so I can hang onto the inspiration the originally drove me to that particular track.
I'll usually try and create something new every week which means constantly trying to find new inspiration. I think truly good songs do take longer than others but I think that after hearing the same beat/chord progression/melody etc enough times, we're bound to lose interest. A song is never as good as the first time you hear it.
Just try and take breaks and don't force anything.
if you don't have an actual deadline, i'd take a break from your EP honestly. mixing usually turns out better when you do it in shorter sessions, and sometimes to let songs grow its important to let yourself grow, too.
that doesn't have to mean doing absolutely /no/ music at all, though. personally i get stressed tf out that i'm not making music or doing design 24/7, so even when taking breaks from larger projects, i end up making stuff. maybe make some small sketches to clear your mind, blast your EP in the car, listen to a LOT of different music, or just mess around on an instrument. you could even join in on the forum's weekly beat cypher!! or don't do any music for the week, whatever you think you need.
once you have some perspective, maybe you can figure out what exactly it is about the project that you want to change, instead of just wanting to give up.
...too much thinking is counterproductive. As hell. You can trust me, I'm certified expert on that.
