I very much want to make my finished track exactly the way I imagined it sounding, so in that way, I'm a perfectionist, and it's why I don't release music as much as I'd like. However if a slip up happens during the recording process and I like it, I'm not gonna try to "fix" it to make it as good as IT can be. I like the authenticity of a genuine moment or idea caught on record. Not sure if this makes any sense, but it's hard for me to call myself a perfectionist when explaining why I don't release much music because the definition of the word varies from person to person.
Does it mean I try to make everything absolutely perfect, every instrument and vocal and sound, down to the last note? Of course not, music is made special by it's imperfections. But does it mean I try to take my incoherent ideas and make them the best they can be on their own, then combine them into a final song that may be more flawed then it's individual parts? Yesssss???
Idk. I need to stop overthinking every aspect of my music and just MAKE and RELEASE it lol. Simply enjoy the process rather then stress over everything. Not every idea is good and not every song will be either, but that's fine. At least I made something.
