"I find myself constantly falling back on the same chord progressions. It makes my tracks sound so repetitive and predictable, and I'm struggling to make them stand out."
"I feel lost when trying to construct interesting melodies. I know what I want to hear, but I don't always know how to get there technically."
"I can come up with one really cool section, but then have no idea how to make another section that doesn't just sound like a whole different song. Or it sounds too similar to the first section and gets repetitive."
"Aligning my melodies with the chord progressions is always a challenge. Sometimes it feels like they clash more than they complement each other, and it disrupts the whole flow of the track."
"Getting my chord progressions to work well with the melody and rhythm is a constant challenge. Sometimes a progression sounds great on its own but clashes with other elements of the track, making everything feel off."
"I’ve read a lot of advice saying you should start writing songs with a melody and build from there but I am not really sure how you do that. I usually come up with chords and hum some random stuff until I come up with a melody, but then I find my songs to be more boring."
