As a music producer, do you ever really <em>finish<\/em> songs, or do you simply stop making changes and move on to something new? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, finishing songs can be extremely challenging. Sometimes, it feels like you can keep making small tweaks to a track forever, and you still won\u2019t be completely satisfied with how it sounds. So how do you know when to stop?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll talk about a few things you can watch for that signify that your song might be ready. Now, some people are better at finishing songs than others\u2014some can recognize these signs and have no trouble letting their songs go, while others never quite experience them and never let their songs see the light of day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in the latter camp, keep reading because we\u2019ll also go over how you can learn to finish songs. For many of us, finishing songs when they don\u2019t feel ready\u2014i.e. &#8220;abandoning&#8221; them\u2014is a skill that needs to be learned and practiced. The more you practice finishing songs, the easier it&#8217;ll get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 signs that your song might be finished<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, whether you\u2019re struggling to finish producing, recording, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"mixing, (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/an-introduction-to-mixing\/\" target=\"_blank\">mixing,<\/a> or <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"mastering your song, (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/mastering-101-what-is-mastering\/\" target=\"_blank\">mastering your song,<\/a> let\u2019s take a look at five signs that it\u2019s ready (or nearly ready) for the next stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Nothing interrupts your listening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try sitting down and listening to your song the whole way through. Do you get distracted by little mistakes, something you want to change, add, or remove? It\u2019s okay to go back and fix these little moments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At some point, you may find that you no longer get distracted by anything; nothing annoys you or makes you cringe, and you\u2019re able to listen to the whole song without interruptions. This may be because you\u2019ve really fixed everything you possibly could, or simply because the little areas for improvement don\u2019t bother you anymore. Either way, it\u2019s a good sign that your song is ready for the next stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. You listen like a listener, not like a producer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try listening to your song in a different setting\u2014not your producer\u2019s chair, but maybe a couch or even your car. Hear it as if it\u2019s someone else\u2019s song and you\u2019re merely a listener. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be able to detach yourself from the song and simply enjoy it for what it is. You\u2019ll know it\u2019s finished if you\u2019re able to experience the song in its entirety, just like your audience would, rather than listening for individual parts and picking apart every little detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. It sounds like more than the sum of its parts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a magical moment in music production when the song starts to sound like more than the sum of its parts. You, as the producer, know exactly what went into each track, so you should theoretically be able to anticipate what you\u2019ll hear. But there\u2019s another element\u2014an invisible glue that binds it all. It\u2019s not something you add; it\u2019s just there, born out of the way the different tracks work together and complement each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you start to hear this invisible glue, the song turns from a collection of tracks into an experience, an atmosphere, and an emotion. When you start to experience your song in this way\u2014when it makes you <em>feel<\/em> something\u2014that\u2019s a pretty good sign that it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. You\u2019re excited to show it to someone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a family member, friend, or partner who\u2019s always the first to hear your latest creations? When you start getting excited for them to hear your new song, it\u2019s probably because it\u2019s close to done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you do show the song to someone, watch how you\u2019re feeling. Are you tensing up or anticipating any negative reactions from them during certain parts of the song? If not, your song is in great shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. You\u2019re itching to start working on something new<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, a song is done simply because you\u2019ve worked on it for too long and it\u2019s time for something new. If you keep going back and making small changes, you\u2019ll start feeling resentment towards the song, and the changes you make won\u2019t come from a healthy, creative headspace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel ready to work on something else, just let yourself do it. You\u2019ll be much more productive and creative working on a new project, than you would trying to over-perfect an existing song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if you never experience these signs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of us can clearly recognize these five signs and will happily finish song after song. For others, these signs never really appear\u2014it may feel like you\u2019ll never be able to listen to your song without finding something you want to change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s the case, there\u2019s really only one solution: <em>finish the song anyway<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It sounds simple and downright impossible at the same time, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But consider this\u2014when you listen to your favorite song from another artist, you think it\u2019s perfect, when in reality, the artist can probably think of a million things they\u2019d like to change. They hear mistakes you\u2019d never notice and think of alternative options you never knew existed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it mean the song isn&#8217;t finished? Of course not! It\u2019s done, it\u2019s released, and it feels perfect to you and their other fans. The same thing will happen with your song. Ultimately, you just have to decide that it\u2019s done and then let it go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still having trouble finishing songs, try one (or all) of the following tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Take a break<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, when you spend too much time working on something, you can get lost in the details and forget to look at the big picture. Take a break from your song for a few days, or even weeks, to let your ears rest. When you come back and listen to it again, you might find that it\u2019s actually perfectly fine as it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Don\u2019t work alone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be skilled enough to do all aspects of music production on your own, but it doesn\u2019t mean that you should be the only person who decides whether or not a song is finished. This decision is so subjective, and you\u2019re much too close to the song to make it on your own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/build-healthy-collaboration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"collaborate with a fellow producer (opens in a new tab)\">collaborate with a fellow producer<\/a> or simply ask a musician friend for their honest input. If you\u2019re sending the song to someone else for mixing and mastering, they\u2019ll be able to pitch in, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. A\/B test<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quite often, the last few changes we make to a song aren\u2019t actually all that necessary. If you really think you need to make the change, ask a non-musician friend to listen to both versions. More often than not, they won\u2019t even notice what you changed, or if they do, they\u2019ll say that either version sounds fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you spend hours perfecting another one-second section of your song, ask yourself: \u201cIs this edit really necessary?\u201d If it\u2019s going to only marginally improve your song, maybe your time and energy would be better spent working on something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Set deadlines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reality is, musicians who make a living producing music for other artists don\u2019t really have time to wonder whether or not their songs are finished. They simply have deadlines they have to meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if your situation is different, it\u2019s not a bad idea to set deadlines for yourself. If you can\u2019t stay accountable to yourself, find <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/time-management-strategies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"an accountability partner. (opens in a new tab)\">an accountability partner.<\/a> Promise a new release to your fans by a certain date if you have to\u2014do whatever it takes to help yourself finish the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Accept your song<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons why you can\u2019t finish your song is because you don\u2019t think it\u2019s good enough yet. In other words, it doesn\u2019t meet your standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But have you ever considered that maybe where you are in your journey as a producer hasn\u2019t quite caught up to your standards yet? Maybe this is the best music you can create at this very moment. Accept this, celebrate it, and let the song be as it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t have to be the best\u2014it just has to be the best you can make today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you finish more and more songs, you\u2019ll become a better producer, and the songs you make will start to live up to your standards. But if you set the bar too high right from the start, you\u2019ll end up frustrated and never give yourself the time and patience to learn and grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you know when a song is finished?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you recognize the five signs that a song is finished, or do you have trouble letting your songs go out in the world?
