Beavis Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I normally take about a 2 month break, do lots of drugs and listen to lots of different kinds of music. Then by the time i go back to producing i normally have lots of ideas going around.i also get inspired when i download some new sounds and that.

Captain Planet Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I also do the long break off (but not intentionally) and just usually end up exploring lots and I mean lots of different music.Also of course new sounds cant hurt but I never believed the sounds make a producer hype.It's all about the use of sounds.

Sleepz Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Are you sticking to one genre?The best way to get over this is one day, get a rapidshare pass, download-new drum kits-new vsts/refillsor -dig for records/mp3s to sample-watch videos on youtube of various producers If your still having problems you could be using the same keys in all your beats (my friend used to do this alot) switch up a peiceFor me though don't even need inspiration, I'm always making beats with mouth, on the table whatever whenever wherever, its just a natural thing. Struggle with R&B sometimes though, i just stop flick through some new jack swing, old r&b songs etc and mix it up with your modern sounds and I've got something.

Platinum50 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Take a break and listen to next music like the ish in alternative room and them typa sounds.I picked up on alot from them esp actually thinking about alteration of dynamics to make music more interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Planet Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 You know what is sick, when you hear music develop in your head and you can just work out the notes and play it down.I also have dreamt music but sadly forgotten it by the time I got to the pc/it was too complex to put down and got forgotten.

Platinum50 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Same, lol. They are so sick aswell.When im bored I jus sit there and hum and beatbox melodys and drums for when I can be bothered to make. Just gotta find a way of retaining as much of the ideas I think of as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubby Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Things just come to my head and I plot them. Wish I was better at creating sounds though.What inspires me is that people are doing things (new/different/whatever) but they're not doing them right lol, so it's easy to be inspired by lack of others ability.
