No joke, i may be 11 months late to the table but heres what you do: save the project you're in that gave you said new idea cut the portion of the project that will remind you of the idea later open a new project, give it a name that tells where you got the idea from (motif from track x last week) paste the portion you cut earlier save track then go back to what you were doing and get rid of the new idea you came up with. it'll save your new idea without overwhelming what you were doing in the first place, you can forget about it and move on Its the only thing that's worked for me after i started making tracks that literally 180d in sound half way through because i had two ideas that should've remained separate

A thing I do: if i ever make a song, but scrap it, i try to find one aspect or loop from it that i like. I save those, and eventually, I get a folder filled with little bloops and blobs of music all labeled with the key they're in. If i'm ever making a song and need some inspiration, I can pull out a musical bit, and it helps.

Thanks for sharing this with all of us! Getting stuck on old ideas and not acting on them is a problem that I have. Your tips and perspective help! I notice that the longer I listen to the unfinished idea and don't add anything to it, the more likely it is to go unfinished. So I'll take your advice and focus on acting and just putting things down. Just playing my unfinished idea to enjoy it is the danger zone!

This is awesome, thank you for this video! There are so many ideas that are just staying ideas for no reason. So nice to see them take shape and grow into complete, versatile tracks!

That blanket/sweater with the shiny shirt though.... not sure if you’re onto something or the opposite 🤔🤯 never seen such a combo!

This was fun. You should do this more often to mix in vocals from unknown singers from KZread. I’m sure they appreciate their voice inspiring others!

"tactile" so important! Agreed! Mousing your way through music is very removed from the historical process ... Great music theoretically can be created just by pushing buttons, but a more visceral interaction is usually needed.

Exactly. I find these chord inspiration plugins a valuable tool. I preferScaler. I looked at Captain Chords a while back and I found that while they both produce the same chords, Scaler had more and was better organized. I don't know how much has changed since you made this video but yes...these tools are so useful. So are arpeggiators. Cream and Cthulhu just to name the more powerful ones I have in addition to the one that comes stock in Ableton.

wow, the fact you did this so easily blows my mind, youre so good!

already know what its gonna be lol cuz all my tracks start from a loop.i just make a drop usually and then see what melody i can get out of that.the melody later goes into the intro with drums and all.i try changing synths a lot to see what sounds good and what doesnt.after the drop,i try changing it up a little with a different melody.wanna see how you do it so imma watch the vid now lol

I at one point literally had a folder filled with tracks titled "Composition x" and I think I surpassed x=100. Sadly they all got erased. But honestly I end up creating 4-16 measures of a song but I don't know where to take it and how to vary my songs more than the song equivalent of an A B A B C A B A B C A "rhyme scheme" but instead they're patterns. It's mostly my ADHD I think. If I am able to focus I can create a full 4 minute song, lyrics and editing and all, in one sitting. But ugh I get bored of stuff I make too easily.

7:21 That's exactly what I was thinking and you said it before me. Massive Attack is brilliant!

The first track is just crazy with this massiv attack vibe. Please make it a full track !!!!

Oh I might have to go back to my unfinished tracks now. For every track I finish there is at least one and often three or more unfinished ideas that just sit there. Given that I write and produce music for 12 years now there is a vast library to choose from. Somehow it never came to me to open up one of those ideas that often only have a timestamp as a name since they always felt like "lost ideas". Kudos!

"It sounds like a piano" I lost it at this very moment 😂🤣😂

Crazy too when you open one of the first tracks you made (then revised but not all that well) and find it was left looped on one of two unrelated but unique patterns and they're bangers.
