I think you need to ask yourself if you love producing or not and if you don't, then give it a shot you might just end up liking it. I personally produce because I love producing and channelling myself through music. It's a kickass hobby and I wouldn't give it up for anything in the world.

I produce (well, try anyway) simply because I enjoy it and I don't think anyone should produce unless it's for that reason. IMO, it's a fun, healthy hobby where you can see results of your work so it doesn't feel like you're just using it to kill time.

First of all, buying a fully fledged, acousticly treatmented studio after producing for only a year was a VERY bad idea, especially since it's not something that has been your dream for a long time.
The synths are not useless if you USE them! if production is not for you, then sell it and find another hobby that you actually like.

And who do we produce for, you say?? What is it all for? Well, how about ourselves! That's the only sane and logical reason for doing anything in life, to satisfy yourself! (even when you help others, it's because you love them, and you feel good when you help those you love.) Don't do things for the wrong reasons, be sure that it's what you really want. You shouldn't force yourself to do anything you don't want to, just because you think someone else might like it...

Your problem is not related to music production, you simply have an askew view of life. Learn to live for yourself, finally then can you start living for others.

(feeling a bit philosophical today... )

If you enjoy it, do it.
If not, forget about it...

i know how he feels... i started off wanting to be a dj, cuz my ex-gf used to visit a club regularly (we already broke up at that time). so, i tried all sorts of dj'ing programs out there but to no avail. then i stumbled across a loop based program and played around with it and somehow finished a less than 2min mini track and got very excited about it. and so i finished 3-4 tracks with loop based program and finally got into some real producing with fruity. i used fruity before that, but couldn't understand a single shit and gave up. and with the girl in my head, i was motivated to learn the tool back then and am very glad that she brought music into my life (although we are still friends now). right now i produce for my own, and for the sake of my friends who had supported me since the loop-based track days.

djsmirnoff: i hope you don't give up just yet, just give yourself some time off and do keep the hardwares you've invested in. give it a second chance... not everyone is as lucky as you are.
