| Motivation? |
 |
|
I am not one of the lucky people out there that either run thier own studios or work in them as a fulltime job. There are not many job oppourtunites in my area! So the music production i do, is more of a hobby, as i work at another job compeltely (designing kitchens lol!).
So getting to my point. I tend to make tracks of my own. But recently, i have lost complete motivation to make my own tracks! And i cant seem to get myself to sit down and get stuck into a track. I jsut cant seem to get going! If i do start, i find myself bored, or not liking what i said. I guess its like writers block!
So does anyone have any ideas on how i can get hte motivation and the creativity back?? Im just at a loss! Has anyone else had these problems? How have you delt with them?

Make a brake.
Make a change.
Do something new or old that is interesting enough to take whole of your attention,
Routine is a killer for creativity!
You need impulses to translate them into music. |

Yep similar to the writer's block! Today was one of those days for me too..
*You could take a break - go take a hike, fly a kite or play with a venomous snake. 
*Drawn inspiration from something different - listen to music that is a total contrast to what you listen to.
*If you can play multiple instruments, switch from your primary instrument to the other one
*Pick a favourite track (by another artist - no, not one of yours!) and listen to it backwards (really helpful sometimes!!)
*Try a VSTi which you have never used before
*Go buy a lottery ticket, who knows you may get your own studio sooner than you expect
