1. I stopped most of the negativity when I started keeping my music to myself lol I haven't posted anything on my SoundCloud in a while because I was so focused on making the kind of music I heard in my head. Ever since then, I've been getting closer to that ideal. Now that I'm thinking about it, I had to start making music that I didn't intend for others to hear first. That way, the pressure of hoping people would listen to it or like it went away.
2. I no longer compare myself to my favorite producers, I just enjoy their music as much as I enjoy mine. I'm not even close to being on their level so why would I put myself through the unnecessary heartache?
3. I listened to older tracks I made to measure my progress. I had a habit (that I'm still working on) of just listening to my loops/tracks repeatedly because I liked what I heard. It wasted a lot of time that I could have been producing, but I was proud of myself. Without even progressing on a track, I would just go through a bunch of files listening to what I made, and I could hear the progress. Don't waste time like I did lol but go through some of your old stuff and hear the progression. You'll probably cringe, but that's a good thing! It means you've learned a lot since you made those particular tracks.
