Eh, kind of. I have hundreds of songs ive never finished but I probably won’t. No one needs new music. Theres over a billion songs already made. The music i enjoy most are full productions either with my band or me playing all instruments, but now no one cares at all when you can just use midi guitars and some ai bot to throw real sounding drums and vocals. It sounds 99% real to almost everyone, so theres really no point in music online other than live performances, which I cant really do with just me. That would work if I was just an acoustic singer songwriter, but theres already way too many of those. It also takes so much of my time for zero benefit…tens of thousands spent on recording gear, thousands of hours learning recording and mixing, and in the end you have nothing. Much better off woodworking or learning to build/fix houses.
Its a sad state of the world , music/all art has never been undervalued more than now.
If you like playing multiple instruments live, there are people who do that using loop stations?
But i get it, if that’s your kind of music, and your focus is on composing rather than performing, then it can be discouraging.

Yeah, I found out I was really good at arranging and writing and producing etc but thats pretty worthless.
You do have a point. I could do some sort of solo performing stuff too. I just prefer full bands
