I tend to not get "stuck" as it where... i always have an exact plan for what i want to do in the track and then i just do it.. if I where a classical composer, which is much more complex, getting "stuck" might be an issue.. but since i'm doing a genre that is 75% production based, it doesn't really matter...

as borat would say "chen qui"

or whatever

Just dont try so hard. I find when i try really hard for a song i just end up with 2 min and get stuck. Just go with the flow even tho you aren't sure about it and worry about the sounds later.

Pass your track to another producer. I have a partner to bounce ideas off of. Whenever I get stuck, I pass my track to him!

I've noticed that when I don't plan to tske the track serious, that's when I never get stuck and it actually sounds better than anything that I get inspired. Oh well, works for me. But yes, sex (REAL sex, not with Palmela Handerson, LOL) also helps when you're stuck...because it's an adrenaline rush and then relieves the stress when you get done with your girl or THE girl (if you're a man-slut or don't believe in relationships, haha).

I start another project, the sounds i make in the other one usually go well with the first, i guess because i'm used to the sound or something...And then I can combine them, or totally change the original. Sometimes I watch a movie and then go back...Go do something else...as soon as I take my mind of the music an idea hits me. Also when i don't take my productions seriously they sound a lot better. I think the best thing is to start a new productions and try to create something you've never done.

Firstly, don't worry too much about being stuck. You've got to push through it. Believe me, if you keep on making small, incremental improvements to the tune then after much perserverence it will be a good tune!

Secondly, find other released tunes that have a similar style to your own. Listen to them a few times and see what elements those songs introduce. Hopefully this will give you some relevant ideas because with those similar and finished songs, you're most likely to find elements and ideas that will fit your song.

Just don't give up! Nobody ever got better by not-finishing songs. ( I think! )
