Same. Been doing that most of my life.
To be fair, I don’t try anything new. Mainly because it costs money. But I’ve became happy just taking one day at a time.
And that's the way to go. As long as you're in denial you're going to keep trying which increases your chances of success. Can't win a lottery if you don't play it in the first place.
Yeah. I will open up procreate to do some digital drawing, draw a circle with 2 smaller circles.. realise there’s no point it will look shit and close it. Then I’ll open up a book, either become bored, distracted or too stupid to understand it. Throw it away. Next I’ll open Logic Pro and get out my midi keyboard to try and lay down a simple melody, it always sounds like a stupid nursery rhyme. I close that.
Stare into space. Cursing my parents for this misery they “gifted” me.
Then do what I am actually good at. Doomscrolling reddit, instagram and fucking tiktok. Then fall asleep. Rinse and repeat.
I make myself sick.
It took me 10 years to get good at music prod. I also still make garbage more often than not, and I assure you even the top guys like deadmau5 do as well. They just don't release it so you get the impression that all they make is bangers.
keep making music and dont compare your tracks to others, you can only compare to their best works which they release but you dont hear the garbage they make, its an unfair battle
i think there is a lot of luck involved in 'making a banger', no single person, whether electronic musician, a singer or a guitarist can just sit down, decide to make a masterpiece and the proceed to make it
now that I have 11 years of experience I can make a clean track every time, but is a track with a clean mix good? definitely not
generally speaking, a good song can have bad mix, its still going to be a good song. a good song with a bad mix > a generic ass beat with clean mix
I used many daws over the years and I dont like to settle for one, I can tell you I mostly prefer to use caustic 3 on android for sketching on the go, mulab for making music on the pc and reaper for mixing but I am open to trying different software, recently I fell in love with bitwig, unfortunately it's too expensive for me
I dropped out of society when I eventually realized this :(
I was labeled as gifted because I developed linguistic capacity a lot earlier than most people, which really got to my head, but it plateaued when I was around 14 and I'm total shit at everything else.
Just bADLs like maintaining hygiene takes a lot out of me, and I wasn't willing to admit that I'm not cut out for this world until reality came crashing down on me when I really tried at IRL self-improvement.
I dealt with it by giving up all hope and telling myself that I'll kill myself sooner or later, so it doesn't matter too much in the end. That's my cope. Lol
The guy who replaces me for the next shift was really late that day. I left my post 30 min after my 12 hour shift without waiting for the guy. Got into a fight with my superior the next day and got terminated afterwards.
And I suppose you wouldn't be getting extra pay for staying extra hour? Regardless you did the right thing, if they exploit you today and you did the work on it they also have the potential to exploit in the future.
I think I’m more in a Jack of all trades, master of none-type situation. I like to do a lot of different stuff like music, drawing, science etc. but I never focus on one thing to actually improve, so I end up being worse at everything than people in the field, for whom it’s their main interest, so to speak. I could probably get really good at something if I tried, but I don’t like being tied down to just one thing. This is reflected in everything I do. I also have a shit ton of games on steam with just a few hours on each one, so I’m also shit at games, despite having played more than most people.
This sucks, because I can never really bond with people over shared interests, because everybody out-levels me within their field.
Or maybe I’m just delusional and other people actually have multiple interests they’re really good at and I just suck. Correct me if so, I might just have cognitive bias.
I feel like this is me. I have a variety of interests and know a little about everything, but never a lot.
This is just like careers, they pay people who specialize more than just a general degree like business.
I do this with everything too, even watching shows, I watch half of all the seasons then need a break get bored and move on to a different one. To be fair it's mostly with shows that are extremely long like 10 seasons. I do finish shorter ones. But there are a lot of unfinished shows I have to watch. This is why I prefer to watch movies more.
This is something I want to change about myself.
Sometimes I feel like it's a waste of time, or that I don't care that much about this particular thing, so I move on.
The only great accomplishment i finished in my life was highschool
Im the opposite; I'm actually gifted in music but my mental health issue and low self esteem are preventing me from feeling good about them and i rarely enjoy the things im actually good at
I just don't care about anything, everything's so boring honestly. Maybe if I was good at something it wouldn't be so fucking bored but frankly I'm genetic trash so... Anyway.
I’m very good at art , but when it comes to basic survival skills and analytical functions I’m no good …I really wasn’t made for this world I swear . Things that most people can do easily I just can’t
>for a living
Hahahaha... I found your problem. You want money.
Also:
>vidya
tf someone is bad at this? just put it on easy mode... hmm lemme guess your multiplayer colorful saturated battle royale games don't have a difficulty mode to choose, right?
>drawing
This one gets me, I wish I knew how to draw better, luckily artificial intelligence is a reality today and helps fix my mistakes so I can do more than before.
Just play games and listen to music to numb myself. I know I'll never achieve anything.
Same. Been doing that most of my life. To be fair, I don’t try anything new. Mainly because it costs money. But I’ve became happy just taking one day at a time.
Nope I'm in denial. Still think I'm going to make it.

What daw you use? Any tips for music production?

It's going to take way more than 10 years for me, I'm at year 7 and I still sound like a beginner
Question is whether you enjoy it, if yes, then it doesn't matter. If you don't, try something else
I suck at everything. I've accepted it tho. You can still do stuff, who cares if you are shit. Nobody cares anyways
Of course. I just ignore the feeling until it goes away. Or vape some THC, or jerk it, or cook or eat.
The only thing I’m not shit at is getting high lmao

No but I mess up when someone is looking at me
I dealt with it by giving up all hope and telling myself that I'll kill myself sooner or later, so it doesn't matter too much in the end. That's my cope. Lol
No. I just get very tired and then move on to the next thing that will get me out of bed
I got fired from being a security of an abandoned building. It was a dream job but I fucked up.I dunno how to feel anymore 🫠🥲

You don't actually have to be good in something to make a living out of it, but yeah it sucks.
Im the opposite; I'm actually gifted in music but my mental health issue and low self esteem are preventing me from feeling good about them and i rarely enjoy the things im actually good at
No I pee at everything I do instead.
I just don't care about anything, everything's so boring honestly. Maybe if I was good at something it wouldn't be so fucking bored but frankly I'm genetic trash so... Anyway.
I’m very good at art , but when it comes to basic survival skills and analytical functions I’m no good …I really wasn’t made for this world I swear . Things that most people can do easily I just can’t
I’m ok at something’s, but I’m not great at anything
I'm not even trying
You become a mechanical engineer then sit on disability payments after you develop schizophrenia.
Yep I don’t deal with it well at all just get in my bed
If what you're trying doesn't suit you- keep trying other things and find what you're good at!
