A zillion things at the same time..
I can not do, "a zillion things at the same time." Unfortunately, "that is the life of a music producer."
Think about it.. You have to:
Do your drums, do your bass, do you guitar, do your synths, write your lyrics, compose, sound design, mix, and master.
I'm just noticing this, because I am making a track right now, and I'm trying to play some leads on my guitar, and I'm just noticing, "over the last 8 years that I have been producing, I could have been becoming like a guitar expert." Which sadly, "I'm not." I've got some serious gaps in my knowledge about scales, and key when it comes to guitar.
Instead I'm like this, "music multi-tasker." And I hate that, "jack of all trades, master of none analogy." IMHO, it doesn't really apply... I'm not, "a little good at music, and somewhat good at golf, cooking, painting, and sewing."
However, I'm certainly not like, "a virtuoso guitarist." Just haven't had time to think about scales, and staying in key, and getting some finger speed. I've been so busy multi-tasking thousands of things.
Music production is, "unreal multi-tasking."
Guitar virtuoso is like, "focus on one thing."
Anyways, apparently I can do, "a zillion things at the same time!"
HA!!!
