Lately I have been in one of my many slumps . It’s one of those where you sit down and try to make a beat or make a mix and its just like blah… allmost like theres nothing there, no motovation or anything. Getting so frusterated, the past few weeks I havent made shit because I sit down and end up with nothing out of 2 hours of work. I was wondering if you guys have anything that you do to get yourselves out of these slumps and get some modivation going… get the blood flowin again. Let me know. Thanks

Peace

Hello dude, I know excatly what you’r talking about. This houers full of emptyness and 0 creativity. Well a good soloution for me and I think for many others too, take the time to do something diffrent. Sometimes you need to give your brain a break 😉 For my self, I use the time to learn more about producing, reading Forums, start to figure out some stuff and so on. And after all that, it’s quiet usefull to take those breaks for me…

Well I can’t really say what’s best to do, but in some time I started to create some samples, like Fx, Synths and so on. Just some random presets to have my soundbank ready, when the inspiration comes back to me. So I hope that helps you a little.

Cheers

Hello, friend. Thought I’d offer you some advice.

Everybody’s experienced a “block” before. For me, I noticed that I would experience it whenever I’d set a standard in my head. For example, a lot of times when you hear music that you REALLY like, you subconsciously build a standard in your mind and try to meet it. The problem is that if what you heard isn’t your style (which it probably won’t be because every producer has his / her own flavor), you’ll screw yourself every time.

Just do you, man. Get inspired, don’t get obsessed. Just loosen up and let it flow—kind of like freestyling. You’d be surprise what you might come up with.

I do think everybody gets these blocks even the professionals who have been in the game for years. Mel I think you have hit the nail on the head in my case. I also try to set my standards too high.
I find if i go to a tranquil place where there is no noise or hussel and bussel. I just try to blank my mind out of absolutely everything and just listen to silence. The ideas usually come back, but not all the time
