My creative side usually sucks. I am much better at mastering, some eq some panning etc etc.
Im hopeless when i sit infront of a keyboard and just bash the keys untill im happy (wich is never) I need to learn more music theory and I need to learn to let myself free. |

Hardest part (the way it was determined in the first post) for me is getting an idea. Sure you can get ideas - even decent ones - fast, but getting something that really has emotion to it is another deal.
And the next hard part is arrangement: getting everything to flow smoothly and making parts compliment each other. |

| Finding the right melody and making myselve work on progressions, not starting to mixing and mastering right away is difficult for me. |

Thinking outside the box; Creation vs. Imitation.
Instantly recognising what sounds good and bad instead of a million tweaks later:rolleyes: (kinda like what Aquarian said)
Focusing on what I can do instead of what I can't do:D
EDIT: I almost forgot - gatting sleep. |

Have a beer or two. That will help you ease up a bit. Don't drink so much where the white and black keys on the keyboard start to mesh together though - that is just dumb :p |

Mixing drives me nuts. I'll raise and lower the volume of the synths over and over, and then never be 100% happy with the end result. That is the only part of production that feels like "work" to me. Trying to make sure all the tracks are heard, without being overbearing. I don't mix while I arrange, I go back and mix after I get the arrangement the way I want it, so I can get it just right.
As for mastering, I let someone else do that. |

I've been perfecting my 4/8 bar loops for so long I forgot how to arrange a song. =( |

| learning how to make the sounds that you want is definitely the biggest learning curve imo... |

| The hardest part is definitely the composing part, making ideas and melodies. |

Getting an idea is the hardest part, looking at the trance scene nowadays however, most of the artists dont get good ideas.
Thats the reason 90% sounds all the same. |
