Fight against over-listening
« on: January 18, 2016, 01:45:04 am »
Age old question. What's your approach?

I guess one of the ways is to force yourself to work quickly. ...there's even this thread on TPF about average time spent on a track. But in it, there's really cool TeeBee's post about spending at least 150+ hours on a track. His tracks are extremely complex, so it's still relatively quick I guess, but anyway... To all of the guys who just can't force themselfs to rush, how do you manage to not get tired of your own ideas?

Try working on another idea with a different sound or genre to keep your mind fresh, sometimes you just need a break from this project so you start something new and the come back to it after a couple of days.

He basically says that you can either work on multiple projects or listen to a lot of music that isn't yours.
I can't work on multiple songs, it's just not the way I work. I start a bunch of simple projects until I have something I like, and then I just work on it until it's done. I listen to music almost nonstop, so it's not really an issue for me.

I like the idea of working on multiple projects, but I am not really doing it this way since I'm most likely too hyped when I am inspired and have an idea that I like a lot. What I do though is to listen to a lot of other music in between, and just in general take breaks - get out and take a walk, make something to eat, do some exercising.
