I swear I could at least double the number of tracks I finish if I keep reminding myself to shoot for 80% instead of chasing perfect 😅 Like @Joshua Goodlow said too, sometimes what you feel is 80% is someone else's 100! I know I've seen that time and time again, the songs I'm not confident in are someone else's favorite.

Time to recut vocals for three songs 🙈 But I'm going to start with one and make it a goal to record tonight and then have them mostly edited to send over to a collaborator by Monday morning!

Sad I had to miss this but would love to hear about how it went from anyone that attended!

@Tom Steele thank you!! Going to watch later! and @David Goode that's amazing! We really are our own worst critics sometimes.

It's me! 🤣 But for real, I think with the way I work, I have to have those tight constraints, otherwise I will indeed spend hours looking through those sounds simply because I have the time. At least to lay down the foundation of a song. Then for me, the little things fall into place a lot faster once the foundation is laid down.

@Glenn Macrae Before joining the accelerator, I definitely had that problem! Haha. I was working alone in my studio so I'd think "Who's going to know if I don't make this deadline?" But I feel like since joining, I see other people making moves too and we all hold each other accountable, so it's easier to feel like I'm doing something real, so therefore the deadlines are "real"

I just told my husband and his band the other week to "find another producer because I'm quitting!" 🙈 But of course I always come back, because I've been passionate about making music since I was a little kid, and I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I had a coworker at the music school I worked had who would sometimes have students ask for his opinion on pursuing a degree/career in music after high school, and he always told him "If you can't imagine yourself doing anything else with your life, you should absolutely pursue that music career." And I'm not sure why that always stuck with me? It's hard being a creative sometimes and I feel like some people just are meant to and HAVE to create!
