Writers Block
Writers Block
I have just got the dreaded writers block and literally cant create or write anything im happy with or can get into for longer than an hour.

Re: Writers Block
I don`t, I just do other shit until the muse comes back to me, the dirty whore.
Creative downtime is a good time to organise samples, find new samples, make new samples (get shit from around the house and start recording it, hit it, drop it, scrape it etc), learn a new synth, buff up your technique etc.

Re: Writers Block
Not a solution, but a way to make yourself useful in a music production way until you're over it: make sounds and samples for later use until the creativity flows again. (damn steve beat me to it)
A solution is to find something that makes you really angry or sad, let it really get to you, then you will just make music to get away from it and express it.

Re: Writers Block
Make really bad shit, forget about it and start again, make more bad shit, go again, and repeat until you get all the bad shit out of your system! ..
Re: Writers Block
Thirding this. Actually usually when I start doing this I can't help but start making a track with the created sounds/samples so the writer's block takes care of itself.willemb wrote:Not a solution, but a way to make yourself useful in a music production way until you're over it: make sounds and samples for later use until the creativity flows again.

Re: Writers Block
seems, I'm stuck in the loop of just creating bad shit over and over again, but I'm always trying something new with it. so hopefully something good will come of it

Re: Writers Block
In these situations, I simply go out of the studio and not come back until I feel inspired.
You can do a lot of musically-related things without being in the studio and producing. Listen to records (not techno, if you produce techno), read music books, go out and record new samples with a portable recorder...
Or maybe change approach. If you're arranging, buy a synth with MIDI and jam on Ableton with it. I usually start to jam with synth, guitar and other percs I own (a djembe, other percs I bougth during trips).

Re: Writers Block
You could also watch some seriously close to the edge porn. Like reeeeaaaallllyyy wrong, but not quite illegal.
And wank furiously, like, FURIOUSLY, to the point where you can`t any more.
Then think about what you just did, really hard.
The resulting guilt, the wrong-ness and feeling dirty will give you an emotional edge to work with.
See how you like that, muse, you fucking bitch, leave me, see if I care.
You`ll be back, you bitch, yooooou`ll be back, I can always find other women to please me.......

Re: Writers Block
It's covered well there's no point banging your head against a wall unless you HAD to get something down. Wouldn't be much fun then. You have basically hit a plateau and need to do something constructive to get going again or take a break.

Three months.... That's a long time without a wank... A REAL LONG TIME.
Re: Writers Block

Re: Writers Block
if i get stuck with ideas i try to learn something different. like a different synthesis technique. a different way to sample things (like other already suggested). stuff like that. or try to make sounds for a different purpose. i recently started watching some tutorials about audio in video games for that reason for example
