I know those kind of problems though. Such a time sink.
the production thread
ā¦a couple of recent bits that I havenāt shared on here:
Morty-C-137 Unbroken1 Thatās it exactly, pure bloody rage lol.
Unbroken1 New stuff sounds good. Those projects look like two or three of mine in one.

Dan Upgraded to 4 over the holidays. The pattern player is great fun. Do I want a 909 all over every track - of course I do. I can see myself using it as an instrument - recording the performance in isolation and exporting to ableton etc.
Am sure there are better stem splitters out there, but am absolutely going to use it a ton going forward - for production and mixing on the fly. Integrates well, as youād imagine, with the S4 I have - with controls to filter individual stems / add effects etc.
The Forever remix of Fields One sounds ace Damo!

It took us a year, but Essentia Sound and I finally finished our 3rd album. Sent it for mastering, should be out in April or May. I love the feeling of finishing a project and hearing how it all fits together.
Iām about half way through another solo album too. Going to try to finish that up in the next couple of months, maybe have it out by fall if things go well.
I think Iāll have another album finished towards the end of this year, to be mastered and out for the middle of next. Iāll have a handful of single tracks out this year.
I put this together for the recent bicep remix comp - I only had a couple of weeks, so you can imagine how I feel about it (unfinished!). Also unmastered.
303abuser similar peaks and troughs. Definitely get tired of it at times. I work from home now most of the time which has helped enormously.
I try and work consistently on āmusicā but not necessarily in finishing tracks.
There are times where Iām bouncing around maybe 10 projects or so and itāll get to a point where I perhaps concentrate on one of those almost exclusively which will then get driven to a conclusion (until itās tweaked again when mastering).

ā¦multiple albums, crikey, you lot are prolific!
I canāt conceive cranking out material at that speed, the last 18 months have been the most (ahem) productive period Iāve had, I reckon Iāve around 15-17 finished tracks/remixes, and maybe 5 or 6 that are almost at the stage where Iāll push them through to completion (plus the standard 20-30 loops/ideas that may or may not ever make it past that point!).
Even then though, Iāve never really thought about them in album terms, pretty much all have been made individually, track-by-trackā¦ the idea of a series of productions that compliment each other or are created specifically to sit side-by-side is kinda intimidating to me.
apyssjw I find the similarities and differences in creative processes really interesting. There are days you sit down and it just flows and other days itās just not there. A few weeks off usually cures that for me.
I canāt bounce around multiple projects like that, maybe 2 at the most, otherwise I lose focus. I do like āfinishingā a track, setting it aside for a couple of months until I donāt even remember what it sounds like, then edit with fresh ears. Sounds like youāre using a more complex version of that workflow.
Unbroken1 Sometimes itās easier with the two of us than when Iām working solo. I can crank out a groove in an hour, send the stems off, two weeks later I get back 85% of a track, tweak it, mix it and weāre done. I donāt know how because weāve never actually met in person or had any lengthy discussions about musical direction, but we just seem to have a shared vision. I feel like our tracks sound like both of us and at the same time, weād never come up with the same result individually.

Yeah Iām like that too, so I just try to ignore it. Itās the same thing as trying to write a perfect track, I just drive myself insane until I hate it. The last album we did together and my last solo album were both projects where I latched on to an aesthetic and thatās what glued them together. I think theyāre both pretty cohesive, even though like you said, they were written track by track. The new one and my new solo albums are much more diverse (within a niche genre obviously).
Thatās the fun in it, there arenāt any rules and itās fun to explore different approaches. Plus itās just making music, itās not that important, ultimately.
