So, I'm pretty happy that I'm getting things to sound roughly how I want them, but only on a small scale. I'm able to build catchy little riffs and stuff, but I'm having trouble building on top of that to make a whole song. It will sound fine on repeat by itself, but when I try to make it go somewhere different, everything just seems to go to poo. I get frustrated that it doesn't sound the way I want to, and I give up and start a new track.
I'm fine with getting different instruments to sound good together and things like that, and I can flesh out the sound of each small section, I just can't seem to add some length to what I'm writing without overusing the same part, which sounds much too repetitive to me.
Is there anything I'm missing? Some section of theory I should be looking toward, or way to turn that one riff that's stuck in your head into a fully fledged tune?
Cheers
