Until, at some point, I give up.

Then I decide to have a go at the project and soon enough find myself going down that same rabbit hole.

And that, in a nutshell, is why the producers chair exists... to get the artist out of their shell, and out of their own way.

Also why so few 'self-produced' records are highly successful.

I wholeheartedly agree! 

In my experience, total artistic freedom is probably the worst thing that can happen to some of us. I think Peter Gabriel once said something along those lines, too.

And Quincy Jones, and Berry Gordy, and Leonard Chess, and Sam Phillips, and...

...well... just about every producer that was worth his salt, ever.
