    Why You Never Finish Songs (And How to Fix It)

    If you want your music to actually improve, you have to finish more of it — not just start ideas or endlessly tweak the same song. In this episode, we talk about why perfectionism and self-doubt keep musicians stuck, how resistance shows up right when you’re close to done, and why having simple systems and real deadlines is the key to finishing more music and getting better in the process.

    Apple Creator Studio: Is Logic Pro Moving Toward a Subscription-Only Future?

    Apple just made a huge move: they’ve rolled out a Creator Studio subscription that includes Logic Pro. If you’re a Logic user, you might be wondering if this is the first step toward forcing everyone into subscriptions. Apple says your perpetual license is safe for now, but is that true for the long term? Let’s talk about what might be coming up… **This is an updated episode. In the original version, I misinterpreted Apple’s decision to gate AI features for Pages, Keynote, Numbers, and Freeform as meaning all new AI features would require the Creator Studio subscription. That is not the case— at present, Logic Pro is identical whether you have a perpetual license or the Creator Studio subscription. --------------------------------------------------------------- ‼️Download my FREE 6-step Checklist to a PRO Mix: https://www.thebandguide.com/promixchecklist In-Depth Mixing Tutorial: https://youtu.be/jSFF8fotNhA --------------------------------------------------------------- Headphones I LOVE: 🎧 Beyerdynamic DT770: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/AWQJgj
