I think, especially when starting out, you need to just sit in your daw and grind out the hours.  It's like learning any new skill, it just takes time.  I always try to make sure I have at least 2 hours to sit in Ableton and do whatever, whether it's sound design or mixing or writing

i think this is a really important thing to realize: yeah, eric prydz can get away with creating only when he's inspired. but if you haven't unlocked the prydz mastery achievement in your music production journey, it's unlikely that following that rule is going to work as well for you as it does for eric prydz haha

that said, i think what OP is doing implies he's still working on music in some way shape or form regularly - just not starting out for the purpose of writing music every time. i think that's a fine approach. just sitting and doing music production in any capacity is what most of us should be doing

personally, i think i spend a little too much time in the DAW as i'm  very consistent in working on music but i could probably spend more time reading/refining my stuff in other areas :x

Yeah I definitely agree in that case too.  I usually always open up my daw with the intent to write something, but a lot of the time I just don't feel the flow so I work on other aspects.  There's plenty of aspects to master to keep us occupied

love me some future bass  really well done man.  Only gripe for me is the piano could be more realistic and fix around the sidechain on it a bit, I think the quarter note sidechain in the quiet parts isn't that necessary

Perhaps I'm just bad with forum code but is there an easy way right now to resize an embedded image?  I've posted a couple pics before and they just retain their main resolution and look way too big.

Tao like I've said before your song writing is just out of this world.  Too _good

The use of the stereo field and space is just amazing throughout this whole EP... can't really put it into words...

Hey all,

I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets very inspired by other art forms.  On my computer I have a big folder of inspirational pictures, gifs, and just any other kind of art that inspires me.  I like seeing some of my favorite artists retweet artwork on twitter that inspires them, and I'd love to see what else inspires you guys!

I'll start with some art that recently inspired my music:

I'm sorry guys, but so much high frequencies are not good for your ears. I think I'm gonna aim to a more pleasant 1kHz, but I must admit I'm feeling really good as a sub bass, so, I'm gonna keep a low profile for now

I'm so happy you Kappa'd
