Fuck. This is me with music production about a month ago. I produced exactly 5 seconds of music trying to learn it after several days of endlessly learning about it.

5 good seconds?

Digital artist here; Sometimes, that's just how it is. Like with video editing, you really only get like 2-5 minutes of usable output per 30-60 minutes of principle recordings (audio is similar).

Once, I was working on a 3D model and got hung up on a goofy section of an object. Spent like 5 hours researching topology recommendations, the tool I was using, studying the shape I was making, etc. Ended up leaving it as-is and editing the render in Krita later.

I eventually figured out the issue (combination of UV scaling and a modifier stack that was conspiring against me), but it was on accident like 3 projects (and a few dozen working hours) later. Hours and hours of work and research for something about an inch cubed in size, and wasn't even the focus of the render (and was barely visible).

Was it my ADHD? Was it some kind of mania? Was it just a tickle in my brain? Who knows. All I know is that these are common stories.

Also, @[email protected] ; all that research you were doing? That's the work. Pressing the shutter button is like 2% of being a photographer.
