I find during the creative process, any form of mental or creative abuse can be involved. I try not to get bogged down in technicalities and just try and make something that keeps me interested. The best patches that I've come up with have usually been accidents or when I've just been so frustrated I've just started throwing on random vsts.

Mixing and mastering though is the opposite. I can find this part laborious and frustrating to get through. Not every project has to get this far though. If something isnt worth finishing off then its perfectly logical to just put it aside and get back to the fun part until you manage to pull something really special out of your arse

Originally posted by alanzo A lot of the time I say to myself 'I don't really fell like producing' and start playing a PC game or something instead. But I find that if start to produce something.. even though I don't feel like doing it... I get sucked in and can't stop until I 'get that sound' or whatever. Thus making the hours feel like minutes

I'm the other way around, if it starts sucking I quit, another thing is that i'm biased (sp?) on not repeating stuff I've already done, i'm trying not to think that anymore because it also kills my creativity...

Still I've been on and off just playing with my vst's for about 8 months, and still nothing... well maybe its time to get wasted hahahahaha....

people emphasize on rules for sounds/music, and in the end usually get stuck with nothing or seem they need to have to know more n more technical bs. The best is just to play around and do w/e you feel like, and after a while you start to get a sense of what should be where and etc.. rather than types of structures/other stuff ppl tell you
