A little experiment for everybody with writers' block/lack of inspiration

I was thinking...since I don't have anything installed in this PC because I built it for a friend, I am going to install only Cubase, my M-Audio Ozone and just one VST instrument...which is probably going to be V-Station or Pro-53. I will use only one hardware synth also...either AN1x or Nord Lead 2. Those will only be my tools...no VST/DX effect plugins except the ones built in Cubase...and I am just going to do something....I am going to start pressing keys and come up with at least a little melody or something. Then I will add a rhythm and leave it like that. Next time I have time to get on the PC, I will keep going. You guys should try that...start fresh. Stay away from the bunch of plugins so you don't get overwhelmed. Stick with a simple setup and have a go at it. I would be glad to hear some progress here. I will post my stuff once I come up with it. Let's go guys...get motivated. Let's see what we can do with minimal equipment and the desire to start fresh.

Cool, cant wait to hear it Rico

I'm in a similar position. I'm about to learn two new pieces of gear... Live4 and my Waldorf MicroQ. I've screeched around with it a bit but havn't actually produced any tracks with it yet. I think theres a learning curve you need to go through with any synth before you jump into full on production with it. So I dont get sidetracked with other options while trying to learn these two I'm going to keep it to a bare minimum. Lets see what happens

I do my best tracks when I visit a mate and when we use his computer...because I have to work differently...
