Its a bit of both. The lack of being able to produce a good sound and tone stifling creativity. I have to be inspired by what I hear played back but all of this shit just sounds like complete ass no matter what I do

You guys are just wrong. It has nothing to do with the mix, or EQ, or panning, or double tracking, or any of that stuff. I just flat out can't write music, and I can't record. A drum beat should sound like a drum beat. A riff should sound like a riff. It should come across normal and decent...

No, and thank God I usually hate the kind of music that people who say they hate my genre like Probably true tbh. I'm just going for something uber specific that I can't describe or seem to achieve and its pissing me off. Well I think the difference in those two things is what separated the...

Why is it that it will sound halfway decent inside the DAW coming through my monitors, but when I export it and play it on my external PC speakers it sounds like this little brittle, thin, hunk of crap? EDIT: This is the Cherry Pie/Roud&Round type riff I mentioned. Sounds like complete crap.

Its like the notes and chords are not even themselves when I play them. Its like they conspire to not sound like they're supposed to.

It's just no use. I can't write music. I have no musical talent

I do some of that stuff already. I will get out, take a walk. I like to export what I just recorded and walk around outside listening to it on my phone. It's a different headspace. It's weird because last summer I was messing around with this same DAW, same plugins, and same guitars, and was...

I can't I have to press on. I have a timeline when I want to get this out. It's weird because I will use other good riffs as blueprints and just alter a few things about them to not make it sound like a direct ripoff, but it never comes across the same as the riff I'm ripping off. It always...

Something is dead fucking wrong with me. I've been in this mental rut for months. Can't shake it. Everything I play sounds dead and lifeless to me. I used to turn on my phone memo recorder and play shit all the time that would perk my ears up. I'd be like "Yeah hehh that's some good shit right...

I know all this. I've been playing for years. I think I'm honestly just losing my touch or going nuts. One of the two.

No no no. It's none of the stuff you guys are talking about. I'm not even talking about the objective quality of the recording necessarily. Its just that it sounds.....off. Like nothing I play sounds like a legitimate riff. It just sounds like some weird sound coming from another dimension...

I don't even know man. It just doesn't sound right or normal. I'm not knowledgable about this stuff enough to tell you what it does or doesn't have. Those weren't amp sims. That's my Marshall miked. I did use the reverb and delay pedals in my AMPHUB plugin though. I honestly just need a...

Btw, EZDrummer and EZBass sound like absolute shit. Whoever thought these sims sounded good were smoking crack. You add them to your recording and they instantly make everything sound wonky and wrose

The worst part is everybody telling me its good when its not. Its not helpful. I feel fucking helpless with this shit.

That riff is literally ripped off of Round and Round and "She's My Cherry Pie". I mean, literally ripped STRAIGHT OFF from it. But it sounds nothing like it, and does not come across the same. Why do my riffs suck no matter what?

Why does it not sound right? It sounds.....weird. What am I doing wrong?

What I'm working on today. I absolutely fucking hate it, but I guess its about the exercise. No amp sims. This is my Marshall.

It's not just the recordings. It's just..... nothing sounds right. It doesn't sound like a proper riff or song :(

I'm trying to write something right now but everything I write sounds odd and sucks. Why?? I can't figure out what is wrong with me! Why can everybody just pick up a guitar and everything they play sounds normal and decent but everything I play sounds oddball and bad?
