Hi guys! I'm new here.
Recently I began to feel severe lack of motivation to doing music and trying to deal with it now. After few years of full time making royalty free music I decided to try to work with some trailer production libraries. Royalty free music is okay and it allowed me to earn enough for a living without other sources of income, but it will not last forever so I need to move on.
I started to learn about trailer music and industry, wrote tracks and send them and finally my last tracks are accepted to publishing. But here's the thing, I see new albums are releasing from big brands almost every week or even days, there are probably thousands composers and the number is getting bigger.
So, does really the world and the industry need new music? Is there still enough space to get into industry and try make a living from it when you are 30 y.o.? Isn't it too late to start from a scratch? Ofcourse, I know it depends on many factors and quality of my music (I think now it's average, but I'm learning and always try to improve), but still. From what I see, music is devaluing from day to day, and I think it will be harder and harder to compete and make money from it.
This really demotivates me, becouse I really love music and can't imagine my life doing something else. Am I wrong maybe and things aren't so depressing? I am not whining or something. I think I just need to see your opinions and thoughts about it. Thanks
Sorry for my english
