I've started to get unispired by producing and not wanting to start a track becuase I know of how much time I'm going to have to put into it..so I just keep saying I'll try another time...but havent done anything for months...I've even said it to making patches on my synths because I feel that I'll have to make otehr patches on other synths to get anything going(I'm drunk by the way..so if this doesn;t make sense...oh well!)..anyhoo, this is what happened to me...I had a few bruskies, just enough to get me buzzed...for other reasons and not because I;m an alcoholic, and I said to myself why not start creating again...so I jumped on a synth and just ed around not caring about chord and semitone rules and all that ...I started to enjoy myself....I started to make some off the wall crazy leads... it was very enjoyable and made me realize why I got into this in the first place. So for all you people that sort of lost the need try this home remedy out and see what happens.
I really want too know!
Oh and I dont want any replies saying "Yeah man, I smoke a big fat "J" all the time befoer I produce....All i want to know is if my home rememdy works for others.

A couple of months ago, i got that in depth with music creation - chords, progression, eq etc etc I just gave up on it in the end.
However last week i opened up fruity loops for the first time in ages and just messed around with a new sample cd and vanguard and hey presto without even realising it i had created one of my best tunes ever, without even thinking about the 'principle of music'.
Agree it works :D |

| Very familiar. I've been unspired for the last 3 years but I try to produce atleast 4-6 tracks per year. My biggest pause from producing was about 3-4 months. For me It helped a bit when I bought a real syntheziser. I was pretty fed up with software and nearly quit in 2002-2003 but still, I'm constantly searching the motivation for producing :( |

Yeah man, I smoke a big fat J - er nvm. :D :eyes: :disbelief
Music Theory is important, but just as a reference to understanding chords and basic progressions; too much and it will completely kill your creative drive and your ability to compose all elements of your track in a decent amount of time.
Of course, it isn't necessarily the case for every musician/producer. |

| Happened to my so I haven't made a track yet. I just get on the AN1x before bed and program it for 30-45 minutes. That is enough time to at least keep current, hehe. |

well for me, theory helped. after having tutored myself in chords, scales etc. i had a month off of producing, gathering thoughts and such. I deliberately did not do anything, saved my ideas for later. then someday, after a wild party, it hit me, then Corallize Trilogy was born, within a week it was finished. now I am still making final touch ups to mastering. but the main thing is, to let Yourself go free once in a while. gather some money, go and have a wild party. You cant get inspired by just sitting in once spot or having the same work routine from day to day... I dispise such things, routine is the killer of inspiration and creativity!
so, my suggestion is, take some time off, uninstall Your program, relax, dont swaet about it. once a true producer, always a true producer!
dont overlearn the theory also. chords scales, enough! no more needed for Trance. all will come in time and with experience!
Peace! |

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 :) |
