But I cannot seem to progress these elements into a finished composition. I'm fully aware my music theory is a weakness so I have a book on that that I recently went through and I'm trying to learn more about chord progressions and such, but it hasn't helped.

Come on guy! snap out of it. The difference between you and most of those other 9,999 producers is that YOU don't suck. You can't tell me otherwise.

I used to get a sense of accomplishment when finishing a track. Now I get a sense of relief....like a work deadline has been met. I've never really had a master plan for my music but now the "I just do it for myself" isn't cutting it or motivating me.

Oh crap. Thanks man. But I think we all have creative differences with ourselves. If there's nobody else in your project than it's up to you to beat yourself up.H20nly wrote:Come on guy! snap out of it.
