A solid hour may not seem like much to you music makers out there, but considering that (with the ridiculous amount of stress and depression I've been undergoing) I've been unable to properly work for around 3 or 4 months, it's a long time. And believe me, this was a pretty dedicated hour.
There I was, finely tuning the delay on a sample and the program began to stutter. This happens a lot, so I thought it would calm down.
Guess what. Up comes a blue screen, down comes Fruity. There I am, staring open-mouthed at my desktop. Some of the best results I'd seen from myself musicwise in an eternity and it's all snatched from under my nose in the space of a few moments.. And all I had to do was save it every few minutes.
I'm ready to fucking give up.

If I worked on tracks more regularly I wouldn't be so annoyed. But it takes so much effort (and influence) to get me to pull myself together. It took months for me to get back into this.
It's like returning back to your hometown and finding out everyone hates you, then attacks you with blue screens.

yeah, so maybe there's worse fates in the world.. but I feel yoiur pain as well. Happened to me with Buzz a week or two ago and I was about to cry. Give it time to dissipate.. you'll feel like throwing in the towel but eventually you'll look back on the track you made and think. Ah shucks.. it sounded good then but I can do better. :*)

had that happen to me before. it kind of forces you to take different directions in your music, maybe subtle at first, but after a while you realize you could never reproduce that sound again.
sad really.....:*(

Yeah, it's not as if it was a percussive rhythm (which can always be bettered), it was all intricate granulizing, pitchbending and that kind of shit. There will be no repeat.

I've had a dry spell for several months now. I know the feeling. Though I have made 150 or so trakcs (most suck) I feel I've run out of creativety, but I still try.

ouch, that always sucks.. no matter how often you save..that sort of thing always happens the one time you become too enthralled in what your doing and forget.
the frustration is enough to make you throw your computer out the window and ruin your mood for the day, but sometimes once i've calmed down enough to start again, i've ended up making an even better track.
