Great work. You've got several tracks going and a groove! I can feel the pulse. My advice is to just keep making stuff. I find that it helps me when I pick one main thing I am going to try to do with a piece and everything else is optional just for the purposes of staying focused on learning. Try transposing something but start small. Do a solo or a lick from something you like. In no time you'll be filling all eight tracks and doing structured pieces. Then after that there is more to do!
I'm fully moved in to the new place and for the first in 10years have my drum kit set up. I'm extremely rusty but im practicing every day and doing a lesson plan of my own design every other day. Also dug out the sm57, and my line6 toneport. Now that I have a room for a studio I want to get in there as regular as possible and get to that rapid resumable state of creativity. Unpacking and work have kept my pace low but I am getting there. Picked up Ovox from waves to have something to play with on the daw and to stick-and-carrot myself through my current front-burner jingle. Be well!
I didn't have what it took to be successful in college despite everyone constantly telling me I was smart enough. Now I'm a forklift driver at a plastic factory. Should I feel badly that I don't contribute more to society? I kinda feel like I should after reading your comment.
