Hey guys, ok this thread is a little different.. How many of you enjoy producing music while under the influence of drugs? Do you find your music ability increases/decreases?
I personally find that most of my creativity comes out best when I'm clean, although I find it alot of fun when tweaking parameters while really stoned.. After a while I get lost in the music and forget what I was originally doing (after tweaking an envelope for a good hour or so hearing detail that someone straight would never hear.. (Read: Wasting time.. haha)
I have never really produced anything while on anything 'harder' as this time is usually when I am at a party.. but there have been times when I have come home after hearing an awesome DJ spin with a bunch of producers i've met in the morning... but we end up speaking more then actually getting anything done.
So the best 'state of mind' while producing I think is when your mind is clear...
For a test I wrote a track, half of clean, the other half while stoned. See if you can guess when I did what =)
This could be quite interesting..

| hey cheggy |
I don't do a lot of drugs myself, but i find you never get anything done when you produce trollied. I just sit there and listen, especially when I'm stoned.
I think that you were stoned in the first half cos there are too many random changes |

| I think the subject is too broad. You need to limit it to certain chemicals. I can tell you that I seem a little more productive after having some coffee, but not after having tons of beer or vicoden. I think that there are many drugs that could possibly be helpfull in creativity, but that is up to the user, the individual affects on them, and the reason that they use the drug. For instance prozac (SSRI's) *might* be very benificial for a person that has extreme lack of will. Same with Adderal/ritalin for person that can't concentrate. Same with illegal drugs. My friend who only smokes pot and is a pro photographer says that his best award wining works were done while stoned. Personally I can't do crap while stoned. |

All I need is alcohol every now and then, and there's no way Im producing when im faced.
As for weed, only do it occasionally and it would be interesting to see what I would produce with that.
Everything else, I dont touch it. |

| I've done a few in my day. I've produced after smoking weed before, and moved at a rate that was 1/50th as fast as I would have sober. If I have a few drinks (3-4 beers) I find, if I'm in the mood anyways, that I can be really motivated and come up with good ideas. Any more booze than that and it wouldn't work for me. Other chemicals... have never tried producing with, but can't see it working very well. |

| Drugs are bad. People think, yeah but look at artists like Hendrix who were big drug users and made classic tunes. Well I have an answer for you, Hendrix with or without drugs would of made those tunes cause he was a musical genius and a master of guitar playing. Drugs do not make you produce better music. Trance music is my drug. |

| I personally disagree that hendrix would of been the same without any drugs, his music come from his conciousness wich had been affected by drugs..not that wasnt a genius, but many genius's have taken copious mounts of drugs.. |

Few years ago I was in bad fever about +38,5 , no producing at all but after taking a drug called "ASPIRIN" fever was gone and I was happiest in the world , and new productions starts automagically :)
that's my story -> you can tell it to your kinds and grandkids!
