Out off all the tunes you start how many off them do you get round to finishing, im always starting new beats an never get round to finishing just woundering if its just me or if everyone does this

I think my ratio is about 1 out of 3

if its not hype for me in the first 30 / 45 minutes, I'll drop it

I have been trying to make beats for about 5 months and have not finished anything.

I will try finish what I am working on at moment for the tune battle.

Too few

just don't stop!

I have a really good friend that has bought tens of thousands of dollars in equip,

he has a virus TI, samplers, 1200's, a pioneer dmj800, a G5, etc...

in the 10 years we have known each other, he has never played a gig djing and has yet to finish a tune

his problem is that he is a total perfectionist.

he wants his tunes to sound BETTER than anything in his massive stacks of vinyl

I tell him to keep plugging, he'll be there one day

I DJ every week nearly so only have a couple of hours to try and learn things when I get home from work:/

I maybe get about 8 hours a week to sit down on the computer so its taking me ages to pick things up.

I wont be quitting tho thats for sure!

2 from 3
used to be way less. like 1 in 6 but since i have learned more about production i can get stuff to sound the way i want a bit easier/faster.

mine 1 of 5 i never seem to make intro's

Ummm

6 months ago. 1 : 5


now

1 : 1


If I don't like the tune I won't finish it, if I am stuck for ideas, I'll let it sit for a few days and I will take a break from making tunes, in general.

i wish i could say my ratio was better.. but lately i get to thinking about a tune, come up with a great concept, start picking samples and whatnot then i get bored with the mechanics of everything..

been making computer music so long it seems like i'm not really doing anything new.. :\

I think quality over quantity is one of the keys to great tuneage

Ive never finished anything

and I dont think I'll ever finish anything for years to come.

1:5. But this is where I gotta say something like I'm loving the journey so much that I don't feel like I want it to end just yet anyway.

yupppppppppppppppppppppppp

id say 1:3

but alot of the time if theres a song ive started and left, il go back to it after a few weeks and sort it out till i like it!

i have the problem of getting halfway done with a really rough version of a track (basic beat, one melody and bass), then i try to make a 2nd verse or bridge or break or whatever, but i end up thinking the thing i came up with for the changeup is good enough to be its own track, so i start it as a seperate project. repeat, repeat. never finish anything.

Hehehe, I used to this all the time.

Now I just make 10-15 minute tracks

Finished is more a state of mind than actual fact.

i finish less than 3% of alot of tracks...

but then usually make frankenstein tunes of the 'best' bits from each. makes the quality control much higher just gets a bit frustrating sometimes.

ummmm.........

the last time i finished a tune was like before the summer i fink.

but still then a tune is never accually finished i could always improve and do a better job on my tunes that are "finished"
