I used to play Halo 2 for 8 hours a day in my freshman year of college. Shooters can be horribly addicting. |

I got hooked on Call of Duty 4 BAD. It resulted in me canceling my subscription to xbox live as it had consumed my entire life.
The thing is, if I would rather play video games then make tunes, does that say something?? Should I maybe learn how to make video games instead?? |

I thought about making a mod, but to learn how to do everything would take a lot of time. |

Yeh I'm kind of with Alanzo on this one.
I mean I worked 10 hour days at one point THEN would go to class afterwards, and still had time between 9-12 to sit down, and often those sessions would go all the way till 4 in the morning at points.
I find the most destructive force for me is not time but sleep. On days where I get 4 or 5 hours of sleep its near impossible for me to sit down and be creative, although there was nearly 2 years where I went producing 100% sleep deprived (and didn't advance much to be honest) but now the most important thing for me really is just sleep.
It has the same influence as alcohol, if I drink 4 beers my creativity goes bye bye like nothing else.
I also don't try to scrap my projects in less then an hour. Only because some of my "best produced" projects were ones I refused to give up on. It may not lock in the first hour but that doesn't mean to me it won't lock in the second hour either. Although I have also had projects literally just fall together too so its hard to say anything concrete. |

| I agree the most important aspect for production is sleep. I no longer drink either but I def notice on the nights where I don't get good REM sleep I can't do . |

I would love to respond to all of you individually, but i dont have the time,... Lol.
were all in the same boat to a great extent. its tuff coz i train 'gym' when i get home which could be seen as a pointless activity i guess, but i love it too, when i could utalize that time in the arvos to do production. But, some very good points i have taken on board. I think at the end of the day there is no rush, just "enjoyment in involvement with such an art - music".
If there is will ther is a way, |

its not a pointless activity if it benefits the human body in the long run. |

Producing + DJing + girlfriend + eating + working out + working + sleeping = busy!!!
I try to balance the DJing and producing by dedicating myself to one or the other for a specific period of time. For instance, I've nearly finished two productions that I feel are 'good' tunes and which *should* be coming out soon and, so, I fully intend to focus on my DJing for a good while now as I have a number of gigs coming up.

Nice, true, it may in fact help me live longer which therefore allows me to produce well into my 90's.
imagine myself or any of us for that matter pumping it out, house / trance / downtempo in your 90's.. yeah yeah |
