The biggest problem with making EDM is getting music finished! Find out how here…
Weirdly enough, two of the most common questions people ask me are 1. “How do you find the time to make music? I’m so busy!” and 2. “How do I get tracks finished?”. So how do we find the time to make music, and – once we have – how do we actually finish the tracks we start?
It doesn’t matter whether we make music, paint, write, sing, dance, act or take part in any other creative pursuit…we get stuck more often (and in more ways) than we like to admit! There are 4 popular creative myths that – once dispelled – can be overcome with a few mental hacks…
Personally, one of my biggest issues in the past has been trying to find the time to make music. I mean, some of the songs I’ve worked on have ended up taking over 40 hours…that’s a whole working week! It causes a horrible nauseous feeling in my belly, where I think I don’t have enough time in my life to make music – especially when I factor in everything else (day job, girlfriend, friends, family, exercise, sleep, etc.) – so I try not making music, then end up feeling like I’m not expressing myself creatively – and get depressed!
