Q: i remember you made a lot of videos over the years of your journey of trying to break the small song habit and make longer songs. i keep making 4-8 bar loops and want to just work on a song to just finish the thing, but i have a hard time doing so. do you have any tips?
A: yes, my remedy for this is write the whole thing before you even touch the recording. write it all the way through and make sure you know the entire road map. like don't say 'and then i guess we'll probably repeat the last chorus'. no, write the whole thing all the way through the end. then once it's done, you have to figure out how to record what you wrote. it sounds to me like you are trying to write the song from inside the sequencer, which is why they might be sounding very much like a sequencer
