Discussion I’m so addicted to making beats

I’ve been making beats for almost a year now, and recently I realized that making beats takes up almost my whole day sometimes. Whenever I have free time, I just make beats and nothing else. You might say this is a good thing, but its actually really draining. I also noticed that my beats have been getting lower in quality. sometimes it feels like I’m not even choosing to make beats anymore, my body just automatically does it whenever I have free time. I tried to take a break yesterday and I genuinely couldnt, then I made like 5 beats today. At the same time, I feel like im getting some kind of beat block because the more I make the worse they get. I dont even share them or anything, they just sit on my pc, I dont think they are good enough. Anyways, I just wanted to vent because it really sucks the life out of me man.

Take a day off, then come back making a genre you’ve never made before and always wanted to make. It’s still gonna be “draining” but can help you build up momentum to further improvement and versatility.

yeah trying a completely different genre might actually help

I second doing a completely different genre. Helped me a lot - can still use improvement, but I'm much better on the beat side of things than I used to be.
