The popularity of CDs in the 1990s and early 2000s pushed the average length of an album to a high of 15.8 songs in 2003—up from 12.5 songs in 1992, when cassettes were the predominant music media, the Harvard Business Review reported. The increased album-length reflected the ease of skipping around to different tracks on CDs.

Finding your own style can be very challenging. The problem is not finding "the" style as such, but more the millions of unuseful questions we're asking ourselves. The only questions you should ask yourself are "What is it that I like?, What is it that attaches me emotionally?". This can be an instrument, a sound pattern, a way of producing vocals, elements from Jazz, elements from Pop music.... no matter what it is.
Don't bother about questions like: "What style would sound appealing to most of the people out there?"
Your style will be the sum of elements that truly appeals to YOU! Your job is to incorporate those elements in a way that you feel authentic about yourself.

When you're stuck. It is always a good idea to take a step back and start to think unconventionally about your work. Try doing the opposite of what you usually do or listen and get inspiration from genres you usually won't listen to. Experiment outside your comfort zone. That's where you can truly grow.

What is your approach to overcoming being stuck?

Who am I to think I could produce something worth and of equal quality than no1 hits on the world?
Uncertainty and self-doubts are normal. It might take some time to realize that they don't serve us but hold us back from yielding the best of ourselves. You're a valuable individual person who has much to give. Just do it and keep on doing what you love to do.

Saturday recording tip: "Amp miking"
Place your mike closer to have a more low-end resonating sound and farther away for less low-end resonation.
On-axis pointed to the center "cap" will result in more mids. Move it more off-axis towards the "edge of the cone" for a darker sound. Feel free to experiment with angling the mic at a 45-degree angle to fine-tune.
