I have spent a good couple of weeks ( weekends and evenings) on a track and I’m sick of it. Gonna scrap it now an move on I think. Thought I had finished it then I started to play with it and change a few thing because I wasn’t happy. Now I’ve had enough
Anyone else been through this?
Nope just you 
We all have unfinished projects I am sure - whats worse I had this really great Dub Tech 16 bar loop which I exported and really liked - then I started messing around with parameters saved it and now it sounds rubbish
Oh I forgot to add just return to it in a few months or even a year
Plus not sure if you followed my chat on facebook where Nierch said Its only techno
yeah i’m having this now, almost finished a new track, just need to do the transitions and automation during the build and outro but I dont really like it anymore. Really annoying as I’ve put a lot into it.
Anyway I’ve decided I’m gonna finish it and see if anyone elses likes it or not. I might just be fed up with it cause I’ve heard it so much but then again its normally a sign of being nothing special…

Not sure if its something that ya do…
But I always save versions of whatever I’m working on.

XX Arrange
XX Arrange 2
Etc…
Just when I feel something major ie: a change coming on… or experimentation with a new section / arrangement - I basically create a restore point.

I’ve recently started doing this as well. I had a couple projects the past few months get corrupted or ruined on a drunken friday night. nothing more infuriating then losing a whole project and hours of your life.
but on another note…
I have been really going crazy at the start of a project. If the melody doesnt sound good in an 8 bar loop or 16 bar loop… then its not good enough and I don’t go any further. I just keep at it until I make it something that I can deal with listening 2 on repeat.
Yeah… have been doing something similar to that. Its called honesty. LOL
Give it a chance - try it - If its sh!t - Delete the channel.
Start again.
No prisoners

Its pretty easy to hear something and think its OK. But is it great? is it 10/10?
probably not.
