Another note:
good food, like good music, takes time.
A condensed, grocery store-bought soup is not nearly as satisfying or nutritious as the soup you make at home from chicken stock, chopped vegetables, a meat of choice, and your own seasonings added to taste.
Likewise, creating your entire song out of Vengeance samples and Nexus presets is not nearly as satisfying as creating your own patches out of raw waveforms, or samples sourced from your natural environment. It may take longer, but the end result will feel wholly your own, rather than a hodgepodge of other people's ideas.
When you think of your music as "content" used to "get your buzz up", rather than art, you end up with "fast music", like "fast food", which is empty and forgettable and might even give you indigestion.
