Max learning speed has been great so far. I'm able to apply a lot of techniques and my quality has improved. But my biggest struggle is still feeling the need to go back and perfect things in the middle of my composing process.
It's like writing. I was god awful with writing in school. Not in the sense that my work was bad, but it took me forever. I'd write a few sentences and read it over. Write a few more, and read it over. Finish a paragraph and read it over, etc. I never got into a state of flow. I was always too caught up in going back and making sure I was saying the right things and everything fit ok.
It's the same process with my music. And it's been crippling me. This is essentially how my brain works, but it's very dysfunctional and I feel like I really need to change it. Because at this rate I'll never get anything done.
