Having dozens of unfinished beats that may never see the light of day, but that at some point you spent some good time on

yeah probably thinking a beat is really good then never being able to get drums to sound right with it or something, then spending 3 hours hearing the same loop and hating it. The worst thing I can do is just throw it out because sometimes I revisit stuff and I like it again.

finishing a beat, and hearing 1 part thats slightly off time. something only you can notice, but drives you insane.

Definatly this. Though instead of still throwing it out and revisit it, I just delete the whole thing..

Anyways I'll put together a tiny list of things I hate. The most are probably mentioned already but oh well:

- Having a lot of motivation while at work, or whatever, for a new beat and when you get home you're like "Meh.."

- Finishing those damn beats (not always).. Sometimes I'm working on it for too long and just (instead of having a little break from it and continue later) leave it for eternity!

- Finding the RIGHT samples.. Everytime when I dig, I'm looking for a certain vibe of a sample and I just CAN'T find a record with the vibe I'm looking for.. Yet I still end up with nice samples, but never found that vibe yet.

- Having a tiny to NO scene in your area... I hate this the most. There are only a few gigs in the year related to hiphop/good music.

I guess that's it for now.. Can't think of more. And besides all this, I still love making beats. It's not like this is how it goes every time.
