Struggling to Finish Songs - Need Advice

Post by MetalPlayer »

I've been having trouble finishing any of the songs I've been working on in BandLab. I have multiple unfinished projects and can't seem to settle on a genre or theme. How can I actually finish a song that I feel satisfied with?

I totally get where you're coming from. I find that taking a break and coming back to a song with fresh ears can sometimes help me push through to the finish line. Don't force it - let the creativity flow naturally.

I'm new to songwriting too and I've found that breaking the process down into smaller steps can make it feel less overwhelming. Focus on one element at a time, like lyrics or melody, and build from there.

I've been in your shoes before. What really helped me was setting aside dedicated time each day to work on my music. Even if it's just 10 minutes, consistency is key to finishing songs.

Don't forget to experiment with different sounds and effects in your production. Sometimes a simple change in tone can completely transform a song and take it in a new direction.
