Episode description

In this episode I cover a question I got from one of my students, which was; "Why is "Done" better than "Perfect"?"The reason they asked me this is because I say this quite a lot in my course videos. As a way to alleviate stress and worry about my cue not being good enough I would just tell myself to get the cue finished and to not worry about it being "perfect".Perfection is an ever-changing ideal. Over the years of working as a creative professional I have found that one day I could think that a track was "perfect" only to hear it a few days later and think it was "rubbish".Needless to say, I stopped chasing perfection and started chasing the journey.Without getting to "out there", I realised that the process of creating was the magic and the output twas the by-product. As long as the track felt "done" in a round about sort of way I would send it off. Set and forget type of thing.This is a must in my opinion. Learn to let go of perfection and embrace enjoying creating a track that has elements of awesome and is a little rough around the edges.IT doesn't mean your work is any less worthy, it just means you are saving time and stress and increasing output!To listen and read a full transcript, click here.
