1. Waiting until everything is “perfect”
Many new artists get stuck in a loop of holding back their music because they feel it’s not “good enough” yet. You might endlessly tweak a synth sound, refine a drum pattern, or re-record a vocal take, always chasing an elusive idea of perfection. While attention to detail is important, true growth in music comes through releasing, learning from your experiences, and constantly evolving – not from waiting until you feel absolutely “ready.”
Getting your music out there, even if it’s just to a small group of friends, helps you understand what resonates and where you can improve for next time.
