Severe Producers Block

[Nocturnl]

I know we all get it at some stage but mine are taking tha piss,sometimes i can knock out beats from when i wake up til bedtime but recently i just cannot get anything down no matter how dope the sample is...

It happens about twice a month and usually for a couple days but this 1 is an easy 2-3 weeks,maybe even longer,does anyone have any tips to get back into it cos people are asking me to sell em beats and i cant make em,i try and just get so fed up and quit

Try starting with a proven chord progression insted of a sample...

 

[Nocturnl]

tried it,tried listening to different music,tried making different style of music,went out and had music and mixing discussions with other producers,tried making just drum patterns,tried sampling music i dont like,tried making beats from scratch,tried leaving the music making for a while and coming back

No matter what i try nothing works lol

 

[Sucio]

Well... It's not about going a way and then coming back...

I go away until I feel that I'm ready to try again.... It usually takes me a week to two weeks (sometimes longer)....let it build up.....

Music is something you feel, never forced....Step away...until you feel it......(pause).

I also had that problem, then it came back when I bought Maschine...lmao. Now I just can't stop making beats.

Do a search, there was a good convo with a bunch of ideas on this

Nice quote, btw... LOL

Watch and listen to inspiration. It may help. It may not. Everyone is different to over coming a creative block.

tried it lol played battlefield bad company 2 flatout and ended up never wanting to make beats

Ive been in a slump lately too (family drama) for about a month, im starting to get out of it by listening to stuff I normally wouldnt listen to (others beats, diff genres like dubstep n stuff) and finishing beats in one sitting even if I dont like em.

Also buying new gear that makes me want to sit in front of it... but thats the expensive way out lol
